Bihar police syllabus for constable and sub inspector

Constable selection in four steps

For constables in Bihar Police and Bihar Special Armed Police, the CSBC runs this sequence:

1. Written test: objective, qualifying only.
2. Physical standard test (PST): height is checked for all, chest only for male candidates.
3. Physical efficiency test (PET): running, shot put and high jump for 100 marks, which sets the merit list.
4. Document verification and medical examination.

This makes the Bihar police exam pattern unusual. Scoring 80 in the written test does not put you ahead of someone who scored 31; what matters after qualifying is how you perform on the ground. Past qualifying and PET cut offs are on our Bihar police cut off page.

Bihar police exam pattern for constable

Subjects are Hindi, English, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, civics, economics, and general knowledge with current affairs. Questions sit roughly at the 10th to 12th standard. The board does not publish a fixed number of questions per subject.

Subject topics for the constable paper

• Hindi: sandhi and samas, paryayvachi and vilom shabd, muhavare and lokoktiyan, ek shabd for a long phrase, correction of sentences, comprehension.
• English: tenses, articles, prepositions, voice and narration, spotting errors, vocabulary, short passages.
• Mathematics: number system and simplification, percentages and averages, ratio, discount and gain or loss sums, interest calculations, tank filling and work sharing, speed problems, area and volume.
• Science: motion, force, light, electricity, acids and bases, metals, human organ systems, food and deficiency diseases, plant life.
• Social science: Indian history with stress on Bihar and the freedom movement, physical geography of India and Bihar, the Constitution, basic economics.
• General knowledge: current affairs of Bihar and India, sports, awards, important days, government schemes.

Bihar specific questions turn up in almost every paper: districts, rivers, the history of Magadh and Nalanda, and the role of Bihar in 1857 and the Champaran satyagraha.

Physical efficiency test and physical standards

Faster times, longer throws and higher jumps earn more marks up to the event maximum. Height for men is 165 cm for general and BC candidates and 160 cm for EBC, SC and ST candidates; women need 155 cm. Men also need a chest of 81 cm (86 cm expanded), or 79 cm (84 cm expanded) for SC and ST.

Sub inspector exam pattern

The BPSSC sub inspector exam has more written work and needs a graduate degree.

Recent SI advertisements set a 30 percent minimum in prelims and a deduction of 0.2 mark per wrong answer. Prelims marks serve to shortlist candidates and nothing more. A physical test follows the mains. See our Bihar SI cut off page for past scores.

Bihar police syllabus in Hindi

बिहार पुलिस सिपाही भर्ती की लिखित परीक्षा में सौ अंकों के लिए सौ बहुविकल्पीय सवाल होते हैं और इन्हें हल करने के लिए दो घंटे का समय दिया जाता है। इसमें हिंदी, अंग्रेज़ी, गणित, भौतिकी, रसायन, जीव विज्ञान, इतिहास, भूगोल, नागरिक शास्त्र, अर्थशास्त्र तथा सामान्य ज्ञान और समसामयिक घटनाओं से सवाल पूछे जाते हैं। गलत उत्तर पर अंक नहीं कटते। यह परीक्षा केवल क्वालिफाइंग है, तीस प्रतिशत अंक लाना ज़रूरी है। अंतिम मेरिट शारीरिक दक्षता परीक्षा से बनती है, जिसमें दौड़, गोला फेंक और ऊँची कूद शामिल हैं। इसलिए बिहार पुलिस का सिलेबस पढ़ने के साथ रोज़ दौड़ का अभ्यास भी करें।

In short, bihar police ka syllabus kya hai: a qualifying written test of school level subjects, then a physical test that decides your rank.

A plan that splits time between desk and ground

Since the written test is qualifying, the target is a safe margin above 30, not a top score. Steady revision of class 10 science, maths and social science, plus Bihar GK, normally gets you over the line with room to spare. Most of your gains after that come from running.

Use the board's own past papers and NCERT books for classes 9 and 10. Applying in a neighbouring state too? the UP police constable syllabus overlaps in GK and maths, though there the written score counts for merit.
