BPSC cancels 1,711 Assistant Professor recruitments; new advertisement expected

The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) announced on October 30, 2026, the cancellation of the recruitment process for 1,711 Assistant Professor (Specialty) posts in the medical colleges and hospitals under the Health Department, Bihar. This decision comes after the Health Department withdrew its petitions for these appointments.

The cancelled advertisements, numbered 04/2025 to 28/2025, were initially published on April 4, 2025. The Commission has stated that new advertisements are currently being prepared based on revised requisitions from the department, though a timeline for their release has not yet been provided.

Reason for Cancellation and Affected Posts

The BPSC confirmed the cancellation via its official X handle, attributing it directly to the withdrawal of requisitions by the Health Department, Government of Bihar. The recruitment drive aimed to fill 1,711 vacancies across various speciality departments within medical colleges and hospitals.

These posts covered 25 distinct advertisements for regular appointments in fields such as Anaesthesia, General Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Anatomy, Biochemistry, Pathology, Radiology, and Microbiology. The commission’s statement indicated that the process for publishing new advertisements is underway in light of the revised petitions.

Next Steps for Aspirants

Aspirants who were monitoring or had applied for these positions will need to await the release of new notifications from the BPSC. The Commission has not yet announced the timeline for these new advertisements.

The official notice from BPSC does not clarify whether candidates will need to register again, if earlier applications or documents will be carried forward, or if there will be changes to the number of posts, speciality-wise distribution, eligibility conditions, age limits, or the selection process. Candidates are advised to regularly monitor the official website of BPSC, bpsc.bihar.gov.in, for updates.
