According to information reported by Careers360, this crucial interview round is scheduled to take place over an extended period from March 9 to April 10, 2026.
Eligibility and Interview Timeline
This second interview phase is specifically designated for candidates who successfully cleared the rigorous Main examination but were not included in the initial interview round. The first phase of interviews was conducted earlier between January 21 and February 28, 2026, covering a different cohort of qualified applicants.
The commission has proactively communicated essential information to all eligible candidates regarding the issuance of interview call letters and the mandatory instructions that must be strictly adhered to during the interview process. Officials strongly advise all candidates to regularly monitor the official BPSC website to access their personalized interview call letters as soon as they become available.
Key Dates and Call Letter Procedure
The second phase interviews will commence on March 9, 2026, and will continue through April 10, 2026. Only those candidates who were shortlisted based on their performance in the 70th CCE Main examination are eligible to participate in this final interview stage.
In a significant update, BPSC has confirmed that the interview call letters will be officially released on February 26, 2026. Candidates must download their official admit cards exclusively from the commission's designated portal: bpsconline.bihar.gov.in.
