What is the Selection Process for Bihar Vidhan Sabha Recruitment 2026?

For Office Attendant, a preliminary OMR objective exam may be held if applicants exceed 40,000. About 10 times the vacancies are then called for interview.
Junior Secretariat Assistant Preliminary Exam Pattern
| Subject | Questions |
|---|---|
| General Studies | 50 |

The paper has 100 questions, 400 marks (4 marks each) and 2 hours, in Hindi and English, at Matric level. 1 mark is deducted for every wrong answer. If the Hindi and English papers differ, the English version is final. The exam may run in several shifts with score normalisation. See the syllabus and exam pattern page for preparation material.

The Hindi test is in Kruti Dev font. Final merit is category-wise, for those who pass the prelims and are found fit in typing.
