Bihar Police ASI Operator 2026 Highlights
Before going through each stage in detail, here are the core facts about Bihar Police ASI Operator 2026 question paper in one place.
| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| Conducting Body | Bihar Police Subordinate Services Commission (BPSSC) |
| Advertisement Number | 04/2026 |
| Post | Assistant Sub-Inspector (Operation), Bihar Police Radio |
| Total Vacancies | 462 |
| Exam Mode | Objective, multiple-choice (CBT/OMR as notified by BPSSC) |
| Prelims Exam Date | 22 July 2026, single shift, 11 AM to 1 PM |
| Written Stages | Prelims and Mains (two Mains papers) |
| Prelims Duration | 2 hours |
| Prelims Questions And Marks | 100 questions, 100 marks |
| Negative Marking | 0.2 mark per wrong answer, both stages |
| Prelims Qualifying Marks | 30% of the paper, category-wise |
| Merit-Deciding Paper | Mains Paper 2 (Physics) marks only |
Bihar Police ASI Operator 2026 Prelims: Section-Wise Structure
| Subject | Questions | Marks | Weightage |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Knowledge and Contemporary Issues | 40 | 40 | 40% |
| Physics (graduate level) | 60 | 60 | 60% |
| Total | 100 | 100 | 100% |
Candidates scoring below 30% of this combined paper are not carried forward, and BPSSC selects roughly 20 times the vacancy count, category-wise, for Mains. Where Prelims runs across multiple shifts, scores are normalised using the Equi-Percentile Method rather than compared directly.
Bihar Police ASI Operator 2026 Mains: Section-Wise Structure
Mains for this post keeps two separate papers apart rather than combining them, and only one of the two actually decides where a candidate lands in the merit list.
| Paper | Subject | Marks | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 | General Language Knowledge (50 Hindi and 50 English) | 100 | 1.5 hours |
| Paper 2 | Physics (graduate level) | 100 | 3 hours |
Paper 1 needs a minimum of 30 marks to pass, but those marks are not added into the merit calculation at any stage. Paper 2 needs a minimum of 33% and is the only score BPSSC carries forward, both for shortlisting five times the vacancies for PET and for building the final merit list.
Bihar Police ASI Operator 2026 Marking Scheme
Marking stays identical across Prelims and both Mains papers for Advt. 04/2026, so the same accuracy-over-guesswork logic applies throughout the written stage.
| Response Type | Marks Awarded |
|---|---|
| Correct Answer | 1 mark per question |
| Wrong Answer | 0.2 mark deducted |
| Unattempted Question | No marks awarded, no penalty |
A duplicate OMR or response copy is retained with Bihar Police Subordinate Services Commission for verification, so candidates should expect their attempt record to be checked against the same copy later in the process.
Bihar Police ASI Operator 2026 Question Paper: How It Compares Across BPSSC Cycles
A directly preceding cycle for this exact post is not publicly available to compare against, so the more useful reference point is BPSSC's own recent recruitment under the same Bihar Police Radio wing.
| Recruitment | Subject Tested In Mains Paper 2 | Merit-Deciding Paper |
|---|---|---|
| ASI (Operation), Advt. 04/2026, 462 posts | Physics, graduate level | Mains Paper 2 only |
| ASI (Technical), Advt. 07/2026, 22 posts | Candidate's chosen diploma group (Electronics and Communication, Electronics and Tele-Communication, Information Technology, or Electrical and Electronics), polytechnic level | Mains Paper 2 only |
Both recruitments share the same skeleton: a 100-mark, 40-plus-60 Prelims, a qualifying-only language paper in Mains, 0.2 negative marking throughout, and identical PET standards. Bihar Police Subordinate Services Commission notified ASI (Technical) barely three months after ASI (Operation), which suggests this two-stage, single-subject-decides-merit format is now the standard BPSSC uses for its technical Assistant Sub-Inspector cadres rather than a one-off choice for this cycle.
Bihar Police ASI Operator 2026 Question Paper Weightage
Physics carries the most weight across the entire written stage: 60 of 100 Prelims marks and the full 100 marks that decide Mains merit, against 40 Prelims marks for General Knowledge and a qualifying-only 100 marks for the language paper.
- General Knowledge and Contemporary Issues (Prelims only): current affairs, history, Indian polity and governance, geography of India and Bihar, economy, sports, science and technology
- Physics (Prelims and Mains Paper 2): mechanics, electricity and magnetism, optics, waves, electronics and modern physics at graduate level
- General Hindi and General English (Mains Paper 1, qualifying only): grammar, comprehension and vocabulary at intermediate level
Bihar Police ASI Operator 2026 Question Paper FAQs
Ques: Is the 30% Prelims cutoff for Bihar Police ASI Operator 2026 applied section-wise or on the full paper?
Ans: It applies to the paper as a whole. Bihar Police Subordinate Services Commission does not set a separate minimum for General Knowledge or Physics in Prelims; a candidate's combined score out of 100 decides whether they cross the 30% mark, category-wise.
Ques: What happens if a candidate scores well in Physics but fails to clear the 30-mark minimum in the Mains language paper?
Ans: That candidate is declared unsuccessful regardless of their Physics score. Paper 1 (General Language Knowledge) has an independent 30-mark qualifying requirement, and missing it ends the candidature even though those marks never enter the merit calculation.
Ques: Are candidates from states other than Bihar eligible for Bihar Police ASI Operator 2026?
Ans: Yes, but reservation benefits apply only to Bihar's domiciled residents. Candidates from other states are treated as unreserved candidates regardless of their category back home, and the unreserved age limit and eligibility norms apply to them.
Ques: How many attempts does a candidate get for high jump, long jump and shot put in the PET?
Ans: Bihar Police Subordinate Services Commission allows a maximum of three attempts for each of these three events. The race event does not carry multiple attempts; candidates must complete it within the prescribed time on the day.
Ques: Is normalisation applied if Bihar Police ASI Operator 2026 Prelims is held in multiple shifts?
Ans: Yes. When Prelims runs across more than one shift, Bihar Police Subordinate Services Commission calculates normalised scores using the Equi-Percentile Method so that shift-wise difficulty differences do not affect a candidate's relative standing.
