BSSC Field Assistant Exam 2025 Mains Form Notice and Details
The Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC) has released the Mains Form Notice for the Field Assistant Exam 2025. This notice concerns the mains application stage of an existing recruitment cycle, rather than a fresh recruitment announcement.
The recruitment has progressed through its original application schedule, a revised examination date and a result announcement. Candidates should therefore distinguish the current mains form window from the earlier registration and fee-payment deadlines when planning their next step.
BSSC Field Assistant Recruitment: Vacancies and Qualification Requirements
The recruitment covers 201 Field Assistant posts. The educational requirement provides two routes: candidates must have passed Intermediate (10+2) or hold a Diploma in Agriculture from a recognized institute or university.
These are alternative qualifications, so the requirement does not state that applicants must possess both. Educational eligibility and the category-specific age limits remain separate criteria that candidates need to examine together.
Mains Form Window and Recruitment Timeline
The mains online form window runs from 22 October to 31 October 2026. This is a separate application period from the original registration schedule, which included a fee-payment deadline after the application closing date.
The examination schedule also changed during the recruitment process: the revised examination date replaced the earlier date. Keeping these stages separate helps candidates avoid treating an older registration, payment or examination deadline as applicable to the current mains form.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Original online application opening | 25 April 2025 |
| Original online application closing | 21 May 2025 |
| Original fee-payment deadline | 23 May 2025 |
| Originally scheduled examination | 11 July 2025 |
| Admit card date | 30 July 2025 |
| Revised examination date | 10 August 2025 |
| Result date | 22 January 2026 |
| Mains online form window | 22–31 October 2026 |
Age Limits and the Applicable Calculation Date
BSSC calculates age eligibility as of 01 August 2024, not the year in which the mains form opens. The minimum age is 18 years, while the upper limit depends on the applicant’s category and, for some categories, gender.
Candidates should use the precise category entry below rather than treating the overall maximum-age range as a single limit. Age relaxation applies as per BSSC regulations.
| Applicant category | Age range |
|---|---|
| Male — General/EWS | 18–37 years |
| Female — General | 18–40 years |
| Male/Female — OBC/EBC | 18–40 years |
| Male/Female — SC/ST | 18–42 years |
Application Fee Categories
The application fee schedule distinguishes applicants by category, state and gender. It lists a common amount for General/BC/EBC candidates and applicants from other states across all categories.
A lower amount applies to the listed SC/ST/PH group and female candidates from Bihar. Candidates should match their circumstances to the relevant entry rather than assume that the same fee applies to every applicant.
| Applicant group | Fee |
|---|---|
| General/BC/EBC candidates | ₹540 |
| Other-state candidates — all categories | ₹540 |
| SC/ST/PH candidates | ₹135 |
| Female candidates from Bihar | ₹135 |
Selection Stages and Preparation Scope
The stated selection sequence comprises the Pre Exam, Mental Ability Test and Final Merit List. This structure separates the examination stages from the final merit outcome, so candidates should not treat an earlier result as the conclusion of recruitment.
The available details do not specify the marks distribution, negative-marking rules or weighting of these stages. Candidates can consult the Mains Syllabus for the published preparation scope without assuming an examination pattern from the stage names alone.
- Pre Exam
- Mental Ability Test
- Final Merit List
How to Approach the Mains Online Application
Candidates must complete the application online within the current mains window. The Mains Form Notice is the relevant notice for this step, while the BSSC official website provides the commission’s online access point.
The application process requires candidates to use the online portal and submit before the closing deadline. Checking the notice before entering the form helps keep the mains application distinct from the earlier recruitment stages.
