Bihar Police Constable 2026 –
Physical (PET) Marks, Selection Process & Syllabus
In Bihar Police constable recruitment the physical test decides your rank: PET = Running 50 + Shot Put 25 + High Jump 25 = 100 marks. The written exam is only qualifying (30%). Official PET marks chart, height/chest rules and 2026 status below. Last GD cycle: 19,838 posts (Advt. 01/2025, complete); next GD notification TBN.
What is Bihar Police Constable Recruitment?
The Bihar Police Constable Recruitment is conducted by the Central Selection Board of Constable (CSBC), Bihar to fill vacancies for Constable (Civil Police) and allied posts in the Bihar Police force. The most recent recruitment cycle (Advt. No. 01/2025) announced 19,838 posts — one of the largest police recruitments in Bihar in recent years. The final merit list was released on 27 May 2026.
Posts are spread across District Police, Bihar Military Police (BMP), and Special Armed Police (SAP). The selection process follows these stages: Written Exam (qualifying only, min. 30%) → Physical Standard Test (PST) → Physical Efficiency Test (PET, 100 marks — decides final merit) → Document Verification → Medical Examination.
⚠️ Important: Unlike many other police exams, in the Bihar Police Constable exam the written test is only qualifying (minimum 30% required). The final merit list is based entirely on PET marks (Running: 50 marks, Shot Put: 25 marks, High Jump: 25 marks = 100 total). Physical fitness is therefore the most critical factor in selection.
This is an excellent opportunity for 12th pass candidates from Bihar who want a stable government job with pension, allowances, and career growth in state law enforcement.
✅ Recruitment Status (Advt. 01/2025): The 2025 cycle is now complete. Notification was released 11 March 2025, written exam held 16 July – 3 August 2025, PET conducted 15 December 2025 – 11 March 2026, and the final merit list with 19,838 selected candidates was published on 27 May 2026. In 2026, CSBC has notified two smaller drives — Special Branch Constable (Advt. 01/2026, 83 posts; written exam held 24 June 2026) and Constable Operator (Advt. 02/2026, 993 posts; written exam held 28 June 2026). Update (18 August 2026): CSBC declared the written-exam results for both drives — Advt. 01/2026 shortlisting candidates for the PST, and Advt. 02/2026 shortlisting candidates for the PET. On the same day CSBC also released the written-exam result for the Prohibition Constable, Jail Warder & Mobile Squad Constable recruitment (Advt. 03/2025), shortlisting candidates for PET/PST, along with separate notices cancelling the candidature of candidates found involved in impersonation and unfair means. Update (September 2026): the Special Branch PST & document verification was held on 12 September 2026 at Patna (CSBC notice dated 29 August 2026); the Operator PET date is not yet announced (TBN). The next big General Duty constable notification has not been announced as of 29 September 2026 — check csbc.bihar.gov.in for updates.
Bihar Police Physical Test – PST & PET Marks (Merit Stage)
🎯 Most Important Stage: The PET carries 100 marks and is the sole basis for the final merit list. The written exam is qualifying only. Candidates who score higher in PET get selected — regardless of their written exam score (as long as they cleared the 30% minimum). Start physical training from Day 1 of your preparation.
Candidates who qualify the written exam (minimum 30%) are called for the Physical Standard Test (PST) and Physical Efficiency Test (PET). The PST checks height, chest, and weight — it is pass/fail. The PET is scored out of 100 marks across three events and determines the final merit rank.
Physical Standard Test (PST) – Measurements (Pass/Fail)
| Category | Height | Chest (Male only) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Male – General (UR) / BC | 165 cm | 81 cm unexpanded / 86 cm expanded (min. 5 cm expansion) | – |
| Male – EBC | 160 cm | 81 cm unexpanded / 86 cm expanded (min. 5 cm expansion) | – |
| Male – SC / ST | 160 cm | 79 cm unexpanded / 84 cm expanded (min. 5 cm expansion) | – |
| Female – All categories | 155 cm | N/A | Minimum 48 kg |
| Transgender | Same as female (155 cm) | N/A | Minimum 48 kg |
Physical Efficiency Test (PET) – Scored Events (100 Marks Total)
| Event | Male Standard | Female Standard | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Running | 1.6 km (1 mile) in max 6 minutes | 1 km in max 5 minutes | 50 marks |
| Shot Put | 16 lb shot to ≥16 feet | 12 lb shot to ≥12 feet | 25 marks |
| High Jump | Minimum 4 feet | Minimum 3 feet | 25 marks |

📌 PET Rules You Must Know
- ! You must clear the minimum in each of the three events separately. Failing any one event means you are out, however well you do in the others.
- ℹ Shot put and high jump: a maximum of 3 attempts each.
- ℹ The PST (height/chest/weight) is pass/fail and carries no marks.
- ℹ Transgender candidates follow the female physical standards.
- ✓ Final merit = total PET marks (out of 100), category-wise. Tie-break: older candidate first → then higher educational qualification → then alphabetical order of name (as in the 10th certificate).
🧮 Worked example (male): 1.6 km in 5:15 → 40 marks · shot put 18 ft 6 in → 17 marks · high jump 4 ft 4 in → 17 marks · PET total = 74/100. Cutting the run to under 5:00 alone would add 10 marks, which is why running is where most ranks are won or lost.
बिहार पुलिस का फिजिकल कैसे होता है? (एक नज़र में)
- • PET कुल 100 अंक: दौड़ 50 + गोला फेंक 25 + ऊँची कूद 25। अंतिम मेरिट सिर्फ PET अंकों से बनती है।
- • दौड़: पुरुष 1.6 किमी – 5 मिनट से कम पर 50 अंक, 6 मिनट से ज़्यादा पर बाहर। महिला 1 किमी – 4 मिनट से कम पर 50 अंक, 5 मिनट से ज़्यादा पर बाहर।
- • गोला फेंक: पुरुष 16 पाउंड, कम से कम 16 फीट (20 फीट से ज़्यादा = 25 अंक)। महिला 12 पाउंड, कम से कम 12 फीट (16 फीट से ज़्यादा = 25 अंक)।
- • ऊँची कूद: पुरुष कम से कम 4 फीट (5 फीट = 25 अंक)। महिला कम से कम 3 फीट (4 फीट = 25 अंक)। गोला फेंक और ऊँची कूद में अधिकतम 3 मौके।
- • लंबाई: पुरुष सामान्य/BC 165 सेमी, EBC/SC/ST 160 सेमी; महिला (सभी वर्ग) 155 सेमी और न्यूनतम वज़न 48 किग्रा। सीना: सामान्य/BC/EBC 81–86 सेमी, SC/ST 79–84 सेमी।
💡 Preparation Tips: Running carries 50% weightage — start with 2–3 km runs at least 3 months before the PET and gradually build speed and endurance. For Shot Put and High Jump, practise correct technique — marks are awarded on a graded scale based on distance/height achieved. Many candidates fail the PET despite clearing the written exam — physical training is essential.

Exam Pattern – Written Test
⚠️ Critical Understanding: The written exam is qualifying only (minimum 30% required). It does NOT contribute to the final merit list. The final selection is based entirely on PET marks (100 marks). However, only 5× the vacancies in each category are called for the physical test, so the real cut-off is far above 30% — aim for a high written score to be safe.

Bihar Police Constables are placed in Level 3 of the 7th Pay Commission pay matrix, with a basic pay of ₹21,700 to ₹69,100 per month.
