The One Thing Every Candidate Must Understand First

The point that most guidebooks omit or fail to mention is that your score in the written examination has no bearing on the final merit list. The written test in the recruitment for Bihar Police Constables is entirely qualifying in nature—all you had to do was secure at least 30% to get to this stage, and that's all. It is what happens from this point onward that determines your rank.

The final merit is calculated by adding together the marks obtained in the 100% Physical Efficiency Test (PET), specifically 50 marks for running, 25 marks for shot put, and 25 marks for high jump, making a total of 100 marks; the candidate who runs fastest, throws farthest, and jumps highest wins the place—no matter what their score was on the OMR sheet.

That is why viewing 12 September as "no more than a formality" represents the one major error candidates commit. Regardless of your written score, all the people taking the PST/PET round will have to start from zero again.

Can you find your Admit Card or is it not downloading?

Candidates who encounter technical difficulties can obtain a duplicate hard copy directly from the board's office. In previous cycles, this service has usually been available at the CSBC office on Back Harding Road, near Secretariat, Patna – 800001, on a set date before the physical round; in this cycle it will be on 10 September 2026, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. When you go, be sure to take your registration slip, a valid photo ID, and two passport photographs.

12 September Physical Rally: Venue and Reporting Details

The CSBC notice of 29 August 2026 states that the PST together with Document Verification for this cycle of Special Branch Constables (Advt. 01/2026) will take place at the ground of the Bihar Veterinary College in Patna. This should be distinguished from the CSBC administrative office on Harding Road, since it is at the ground that the actual physical measurements and the running track are arranged.

When you are looking into this subject on the internet, you might come across the term "Gardanibagh rally" as Gardanibagh is a well-known area and a police-lines zone in Patna that has in the past been the site of police physical rounds during previous recruitment rounds. For the 2026 Special Branch cycle, though, the official notice confirms that the venue will be the ground of the Bihar Veterinary College. Since the CSBC at times divides the candidates over several grounds according to their roll numbers, you should not depend on any third-party article — such as this one — to determine your final venue. You must always verify the exact address, gate number, and reporting time that are printed on your own e-admit card before you go.

General Instructions for the Physical Rally Day

  • Make a report at least two hours before your scheduled reporting time since the traffic near the college and hospital areas in Patna can be unpredictable on rally days.
  • Go in wearing sports clothes and running shoes since you could be asked to carry out the run on the same day as the document checking.
  • To protect your admit card from rain or sweat, carry it in a plastic folder.
  • Electronic gadgets, smartwatches, and fitness bands are not permitted inside the measurement/running enclosure.
  • Female candidates must take their required medical fitness or category certificates with them so that they can be checked quickly.

Bihar Police Constable PST: Physical Standards (Height, Chest, Weight)

The PST is of a qualifying type — if you meet the standard you do so and if not you don't, with no marks awarded for exceeding it. The criteria as notified by CSBC for Advt. 01/2026 are as follows:

Category Height (Male) Height (Female) Chest (Male, Unexpanded–Expanded) Weight (Female)
General / BC 165 cm 155 cm 81–86 cm 48 kg (minimum)
EBC / SC / ST 160 cm 155 cm 79–84 cm 48 kg (minimum)

Note that female candidates are not required to provide a separate chest measurement; instead, weight is the criterion used for qualification. When you go to the testing centre, take your original caste/category certificate with you, since your PST standard will be determined according to the category verified there and not merely on the one you stated in the form.

Bihar Police Constable PET: 100-Mark Scoring Criteria Breakdown

The section in question determines your rank; make sure to study it carefully since a difference of two seconds in your run or one foot in your shot put could move your position by hundreds of ranks.

1. Running (Maximum 50 Marks) — This event carries the most weight.

Male Candidates (1.6 km Race) Marks Female Candidates (1 km Race) Marks
Up to 5 minutes 50 Up to 4 minutes 50
5:00 – 5:20 minutes 40 4:00 – 4:20 minutes 40
5:20 – 5:40 minutes 30 4:20 – 4:40 minutes 30
5:40 – 6:00 minutes 20 4:40 – 5:00 minutes 20
More than 6 minutes Disqualified More than 5 minutes Disqualified

2. Shot Put / Gola Fek (Maximum 25 Marks)

Male (16-pound shot) Marks Female (12-pound shot) Marks
16 – 17 feet 9 12 – 13 feet 9
17 – 18 feet 13 13 – 14 feet 13
18 – 19 feet 17 14 – 15 feet 17
19 – 20 feet 21 15 – 16 feet 21
More than 20 feet 25 More than 16 feet 25
Less than 16 feet Disqualified Less than 12 feet Disqualified

3. High Jump (Maximum 25 Marks)

Male (Minimum 4 feet) Marks Female (Minimum 3 feet) Marks
4 feet 13 3 feet 13
4 feet 4 inches 17 3 feet 4 inches 17
4 feet 8 inches 21 3 feet 8 inches 21
5 feet or more 25 4 feet or more 25
Less than 4 feet Disqualified Less than 3 feet Disqualified

Here's a strategy: because running on its own earns you half of the total marks, combining a average performance in the shot put and high jump with a fast run under five minutes will leave you ahead of a candidate who is only good in one of the field events.
