BPSC Recruitment Process Halted

In a major setback for medical professionals aspiring to join state-run healthcare institutions, the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has officially cancelled the recruitment process for 1,711 Assistant Professor positions. The cancellations span advertisement numbers 04/2025 through 28/2025, affecting numerous specialty departments across government medical colleges and hospitals throughout the state.

According to official statements released by the commission, the sudden halt was necessitated after the Bihar Health Department formally withdrew its original recruitment requisition. Consequently, the ongoing selection process under the aforementioned advertisement numbers stands void.

Impacted Specialties and Qualifications

The halted recruitment drive was aimed at bolstering faculty strength across a wide spectrum of medical disciplines. The affected vacancies covered critical healthcare specialties, including:

* Anesthesia * General Medicine * Obstetrics and Gynecology * Microbiology * Pediatrics * Biochemistry * Pathology * Radiology * Anatomy

Applicants for these positions were previously required to hold postgraduate medical degrees, such as a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Master of Surgery (MS), in their respective fields alongside requisite professional experience.

Next Steps for Candidates

While the current recruitment cycle has been scrapped, the BPSC has indicated that a fresh notification will be issued once a revised requisition is formally submitted by the Health Department. At present, the commission has not provided any confirmed timelines or dates for the release of the updated advertisements. Aspirants have been advised to monitor official channels for future updates regarding vacancy distributions, revised eligibility criteria, and application schedules.
