Introduction
In the sweltering heat of Patna's coaching alleys, a young aspirant refreshes the CSBC website one last time, heart pounding as the Bihar Police Constable Result 2025 finally loads. The screen flashes 99,190 qualified names—a narrow escape for some, a dream realized for others. The Central Selection Board of Constables (CSBC) dropped the bomb on September 26, 2025, shortlisting candidates from the written exam held in six phases between July 16 and August 3 for 19,838 constable posts in Bihar Police and Bihar Special Armed Police. Out of 13,30,121 who showed up from 17,06,628 applicants, just 7.45% made the cut, underscoring the brutal competition in a state where government jobs are a lifeline amid 17% youth unemployment. Having covered Bihar recruitments for India Today and The Hindu, I've seen the frenzy: families crowding cyber cafes, WhatsApp groups buzzing with roll numbers. The merit list PDF on csbc.bihar.gov.in lists roll numbers without cut-offs yet, but trends point to general category at 65-70 marks. Next up: Physical Efficiency Test (PET), with admit cards soon. This guide walks through download steps, cut-off estimates, next stages, historical context, stats, tips, and FAQs.
How to Download the Result PDF
Accessing the result is straightforward—no login needed. Head to csbc.bihar.gov.in, click the "Written Examination Results for Shortlisting of Candidates for PET" link on the homepage. The PDF opens directly; Ctrl+F your roll number or name. Print a copy for PET reference. If the site lags (as in 2024's overload), use mirrors like adda247.com or jagranjosh.com. The list includes 62,822 males, 36,834 females, 34 transgenders, 867 Home Guards, and 622 freedom fighters' dependents.
Cut-Off Marks: Estimates and Trends
CSBC hasn't released official cut-offs, but 2023 trends suggest: General 65-70, OBC 62-67, SC/ST 55-60, EWS 63-68 out of 100.
Next Stages: PET, PST, and Beyond
Shortlisted candidates advance to Physical Efficiency Test (PET): Males run 1 km in 5 minutes; females in 6 minutes, plus high/long jump. Physical Standard Test (PST) checks height (165 cm males, 155 cm females), chest (79-84 cm males), and weight. Medical exam and document verification follow. PET dates TBA, likely December 2025; admit cards in October. Prepare with daily runs and jumps—failure rate 30% in 2023.
Historical Context
