Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I'm from Bihar but my 10th school was in another state. Am I eligible? Yes — domicile is about your permanent residence in Bihar, not where you studied. Bihar domicile certificate (issued by SDO/DM) is what you need.
Q: Can women apply for Jail Warder posts? Female candidates can apply for female jail warder positions where vacancies exist. Check the official notification for gender-specific vacancy distribution.
Q: What's the difference between Prohibition Constable and regular Police Constable? Prohibition Constables work under Bihar's Prohibition Department enforcing the liquor ban (Bihar has a complete prohibition on alcohol since 2016). Jail Warders work inside correctional facilities. Mobile Squad Constables are deployed for mobile enforcement. These are not Civil Police — different department, different duty profile.
