The wait for the Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC) CGL 4 Recruitment may soon be over. Sources indicate that the notification for the BSSC CGL 4 Notification 2025 is expected before the upcoming Bihar Assembly Elections. With the first half of 2025 now over and July already underway, the pressure on the commission and government is increasing. Here’s a complete update on what we know so far.
CGL 4 Notification 2025 Likely Before Elections
According to credible inputs, the BSSC CGL 4 recruitment notification will be released before the elections. While an official date has not been announced, internal sources suggest that the notification could drop by late July 2025.
A high-level meeting chaired by the Chief Secretary of Bihar is scheduled on 7th July, where vacant posts across multiple departments will be reviewed — and CGL 4 recruitment is on the agenda.
Expected Vacancy: 2,500 to 3,000 Posts
While the final vacancy count is yet to be finalized, early estimates suggest around 2,500 to 3,000 vacancies across various departments. These numbers may increase once departments confirm their updated vacancy positions in the July 7 meeting.
Big Update on ASO (Assistant Section Officer) Vacancies
One of the most important updates relates to the Assistant Section Officer (ASO) post, a key position under BSSC CGL.
- In December 2023, the government sent a requisition for 1,064 ASO posts to BSSC.
- However, earlier this year, 303 posts were deducted for sports quota candidates, reducing the general recruitment to 761.
- Now, the government has reversed that decision. The full 1,064 ASO posts will be included in BSSC CGL 4. The sports quota will be handled separately.
This move ensures that general category candidates won’t lose out on any seats due to quota adjustments.
What About BSSC Inter Level Exam?
While BSSC CGL 4 shows promising progress, the Second Inter Level Exam appears to be in limbo.
- As of now, there’s no concrete update or official movement indicating that the Inter Level Exam will be held in 2025.
- Despite earlier assumptions and repeated assurances, no pre-exam processes (like hall ticket updates, test center info, or application corrections) have emerged even as of July 4.
- This suggests that the exam may not happen before the Model Code of Conduct kicks in mid-September 2025, which will remain in effect until November.
BSSC CGL 4 Exam Timeline: When Will It Be Held?
While the notification may be released before the elections, the exam date itself may be scheduled after or later in the year. Once the notification is released and applications are submitted, the actual exam date will depend on BSSC’s internal calendar.
Given that this is a massive recruitment involving multiple departments and thousands of candidates, the exam could be conducted in multiple shifts or phases over several weeks.
