Important Dates and Application Details
According to the official notification released by the commission, the online application window will remain open from January 31, 2026 to February 8, 2026. This period also serves as the final deadline for examination fee submission. The commission has clarified that the examination schedule will be announced separately at a later date, with admit cards being distributed to registered candidates prior to the test administration.
Application Fee Structure and Payment Methods
The application fee for the Pump Operator recruitment has been standardized at Rs. 100 for all candidate categories. This uniform fee structure applies equally to General category applicants, Backward Classes, Extremely Backward Classes, Economically Weaker Sections, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and women candidates across all categories. Payment can be conveniently made through multiple digital channels including e-challan, debit card, credit card, or net banking via the official online application portal.
Age Eligibility and Educational Requirements
Candidate age will be calculated as of August 1, 2025, with the minimum age requirement set at 18 years. The upper age limit has been established at 37 years for male candidates and 40 years for female candidates, with additional age relaxation provisions available for reserved category applicants as per existing government regulations. Educational qualifications mandate that applicants must have successfully completed their 10th standard examination and obtained an ITI certificate in either Machinist or Fitter trade.
Vacancy Distribution Across Categories
This recruitment drive aims to fill a total of 191 Pump Operator positions across various categories. The detailed vacancy distribution includes 77 posts reserved for the General category, 19 positions for Economically Weaker Sections, 33 vacancies for Extremely Backward Classes, 23 posts for Backward Classes, 6 positions specifically for Backward Class women, 31 vacancies for Scheduled Castes, and 2 posts allocated for Scheduled Tribes.

Step-by-Step Application Procedure
Prospective applicants should thoroughly review the official notification before initiating the application process and ensure they have all necessary documents prepared, including educational certificates, valid identity proof, recent photograph, and digital signature. Candidates must carefully verify the application preview before final submission, complete the required fee payment, and retain a printed copy of the submitted application form for future reference. The commission has explicitly stated that application forms submitted without successful fee payment will not be accepted under any circumstances.
This reopening initiative represents a valuable second chance for technical graduates in Bihar to secure government employment, with the commission demonstrating flexibility in accommodating eligible candidates who may have missed earlier application opportunities.
