Bihar Vidhan Sabha vacancy 2026: who can apply?
The applicant must be an Indian citizen. The educational requirement is Intermediate in any subject, or an equivalent examination, from a board or Intermediate council recognised by a state government or the central government. The qualification must be held by the last date for applying. Being enrolled in a course is different from having passed it by that deadline.
The 15 vacancies comprise seven unreserved posts, two for the economically weaker section, four for Scheduled Castes and two for the extremely backward class. The table identifies four posts for women through horizontal reservation, one within each listed category. Those four are included in the total of 15; they are not additional vacancies. The advertisement says the number of posts may increase or decrease.
Reservation benefits are available to Bihar domiciles under the conditions in the notice. Applicants from outside Bihar do not receive those reservation benefits. Applicants claiming a category must enter it in the application and hold the required supporting documents. A caste certificate alone does not replace every document: the notice separately specifies domicile and, for the relevant backward categories, a non creamy layer certificate.
Age limit and application fee
Age is calculated as on 1 August 2026, with a minimum age of 18. The stated upper limits are 37 for unreserved men, 40 for unreserved women and backward class or extremely backward class applicants of either sex, and 42 for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe applicants of either sex. Separate relaxation provisions cover specified government servants, persons with disabilities and former service personnel. Read the applicable clause before relying on a relaxation.
The application fee is Rs 600 for Bihar male applicants in the unreserved, EWS, backward class and extremely backward class categories, and for applicants from outside Bihar irrespective of category or sex. The notice specifies Rs 150 for the listed Bihar domicile concessions, including SC and ST applicants, women of all categories and applicants with disability of 40 percent or more. Bank charges are additional. Retain the payment receipt and check that the chosen concession matches the supporting certificate.
How to find the official application link
- Open the Bihar Vidhan Sabha website and its Recruitment menu.
- Use Recruitment Advertisement to read Advertisement No. 01/2026 for Junior Secretariat Assistant.
- On the Recruitment Notice page, locate the application link carrying that same post name and advertisement number.
- Follow the Assembly's link to the recruitment portal, where the Junior Secretariat Assistant section lists 7 November as the opening date and 6 December as both closing dates.
- Read the notice before selecting Apply Now. Keep the submitted application and fee receipt after completing the process.
The advertisement instructs candidates to use their own active contact details, upload clear educational and reservation documents, and provide a recent photograph and signature. It also tells applicants to retain at least five additional copies of the photograph used. These are practical preparation steps to complete before entering the form.
After final submission, the notice says to return to the dashboard's Download Filled Application Section and print two copies. Each page of the downloaded application must show both a barcode and the application number. An application printout missing either is not treated as complete under the instructions. Check those identifiers before putting the paperwork aside.
What happens after applications close?
The selection process comprises a preliminary examination followed by Hindi and English typing tests for successful candidates. The notice specifies 30 words per minute in each language and a ten minute test in each. Its examination schedule will be published on the Assembly website. The application deadline should therefore not be mistaken for an announced examination date.
For other application and examination explainers, see our guides to SSC registration and application checks, the CTET examination pattern and National Scholarship Portal deadlines. Each has separate eligibility and registration rules.
