BSFC Recruitment 2026: 259 Bihar State Food and Civil Supplies Corporation Vacancies for Graduates
Bihar State Food and Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd. has opened online applications for 259 posts, with the written examination conducted by the BCECE Board, Patna. Five cadres are on offer, from Assistant Manager down to Lower Division Clerk (LDC), so the door is open whether you hold an MBA, a B.Com with CA Inter, an agriculture or food science degree, or a plain graduation with computer typing skills. Lower Division Clerk alone carries 123 of the total — one of the bigger Bihar openings this year for ordinary graduates.
Registration opened on 25 August 2026, and your form and fee must both be done by 25 September 2026 — but registration itself shuts a day earlier, on 24 September. A correction window follows from 26 to 28 September. Below you will find the post-wise split, the qualification for each post, the age rules, the fee, and the conditions that quietly disqualify people every year.

BSFC Vacancy 2026: How Many LDC and Assistant Manager Posts? Category-wise Breakup
The reservation split is completely different for each post, so read the row for the post you actually want rather than the total. In the table below, (+N W) means N seats reserved for women of that same category in addition to the number before it — so SC 17 (+4 W) for Assistant Manager is 21 Scheduled Caste seats in all.
| Post (Post Code) | Category-wise Vacancies | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Assistant Manager (01) | SC 17 (+4 W) / ST 0 / EBC 9 (+4 W) / BC 14 (+2 W) / BC Women 1 / UR 16 (+8 W) / EWS 4 (+2 W) | 81 |
| Assistant Accounts Officer (02) | SC 3 / ST 1 / EBC 0 / BC 0 / UR 2 / EWS 0 | 6 |
| Accountant / Lekhapal (03) | SC 1 / ST 1 / EBC 2 / BC 2 / UR 3 (+1 W) / EWS 1 | 11 |
| Quality Controller (04) | SC 10 (+1 W) / ST 0 / EBC 5 (+2 W) / BC 2 (+1 W) / BC Women 3 / UR 7 (+4 W) / EWS 2 (+1 W) | 38 |
| Lower Division Clerk (05) | SC 13 (+6 W) / ST 2 / EBC 18 (+7 W) / BC 9 (+5 W) / BC Women 5 / UR 30 (+16 W) / EWS 8 (+4 W) | 123 |
Assistant Accounts Officer carries no Backward Class, no Extremely Backward Class and no EWS seat at all, and no seat reserved for women. Only SC, ST and Unreserved candidates have a seat there. Assistant Manager and Quality Controller have no Scheduled Tribe seat either. This is the sort of line people discover after paying the fee, so check your own category against your own post before you go further.
Disability and freedom-fighter reservation is horizontal — those seats sit inside the numbers above, they are not extra.
| Post | PwBD seats | Freedom fighter dependants |
|---|---|---|
| Assistant Manager | OH 1, MM 1 | 1 |
| Assistant Accounts Officer | None | None |
| Accountant | None | None |
| Quality Controller | VI 1 | 1 |
| Lower Division Clerk | VI 1, DD 1, OH 2, MM 1 | 3 |
What is the Eligibility Criteria for BSFC Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Assistant Manager | MBA or PGDBM from a recognised university or an AICTE-approved institute. A PGDM earned after AICTE renamed PGDBM in 2007 also counts |
| Assistant Accounts Officer | B.Com with Chartered Accountancy, or B.Com plus 5 years as Assistant Accounts Officer or an equivalent post in Central or Bihar Government, or in their undertaking or corporation |
| Accountant (Lekhapal) | B.Com from a recognised university along with a pass in CA Inter |
| Quality Controller | B.Sc. (Agriculture), or B.Tech. or B.E. in Food Science, Food Science and Technology, Agriculture Engineering or Biotechnology |
| Lower Division Clerk | Graduation from a recognised university, with proficiency in computer operation and computer typing |
For Assistant Manager the notification warns in plain words: no equivalent degree, and no degree under a changed name, will be recognised apart from those listed above. Do not assume a similar-looking management diploma will pass. Assistant Accounts Officer is the one post with a second route — with a B.Com and five years in the right post you do not need CA at all, so read that row twice before ruling yourself out. Any graduate from a recognised university can try Lower Division Clerk, and B.Com holders should compare the two commerce and finance roles carefully.
Age Limit
| Category | Maximum Age |
|---|---|
| Unreserved (Male) | 37 years |
| Unreserved (Female) | 40 years |
| Backward Class and Extremely Backward Class (Male and Female) | 40 years |
| Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Male and Female) | 42 years |
| Divyang (PwBD), any category | 10 years extra |

Minimum age is 21 years as on 01.01.2026, and the maximum age is counted from the same date — not from the day you apply. Work your age out on 1 January 2026 before you pay anything. One more thing to note honestly: the notice also says the maximum age will be whatever the State Government fixes from time to time, so treat the table above as the position today rather than a promise.
What is the Salary for BSFC Recruitment 2026 LDC and Assistant Manager Posts?
| Post | Pay Level | Pay Band and Grade Pay (revised) |
|---|---|---|
| Assistant Manager | Level-7 | ₹9,300 – ₹34,800, Grade Pay ₹4,600 |
| Assistant Accounts Officer | Level-7 | ₹9,300 – ₹34,800, Grade Pay ₹4,600 |
| Accountant (Lekhapal) | Level-4 | PB-1, Grade Pay ₹2,400 |
| Quality Controller | Level-4 | PB-1, Grade Pay ₹2,400 |
| Lower Division Clerk | Level-2 | PB-1, Grade Pay ₹1,900 |
The notification prints the pay band, grade pay and level only — no monthly in-hand figure — so we will not invent one for you. The gap it does show is real: Level-7 and Level-2 are worlds apart in career terms. If you hold an MBA as well as a graduation, apply for the post matching your best degree instead of the easiest-looking one.
What is the Selection Process for BSFC Recruitment 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Written examination | A panel is formed on the basis of this written examination |
| Document verification | Original records of the successful candidates are checked against what they filled online |
The single most important thing to know is that the panel prepared from this written examination is valid for one year only. Appointments come out of that panel within that window.
This four-page notice does not carry the exam pattern, the subjects, the syllabus, or the detailed reservation and age rules. Those are in the detailed brochure, the vivaran-pustika, on the Board’s website. Download that brochure before you build a study plan, and keep an eye on our syllabus and exam pattern updates as well — do not prepare from a coaching guess about a pattern nobody has published yet.

Conditions That Can Cost You the Job
Every one of these is written in the notification, and each one can end your candidature.

| Failed payment | If money is debited but the payment fails, pay again within the prescribed time, otherwise your form stays incomplete and you will not remain eligible for this examination |

| Only the prescribed degree | For Assistant Manager no equivalent or renamed degree is recognised |
| Posts can change | The number of posts may increase or decrease, and the Department may cancel the whole recruitment, the advertisement or any stage without prior notice or reason |
