BSSC Inter-Level Recruitment 2026: Registration Extended for 24,492 Posts

New Delhi, january 24, 2026: In a major relief for government job aspirants in Bihar, the Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC) has officially extended the registration deadline for the Second Inter-Level Combined Competitive Examination 2026. Candidates who have yet to apply for one of the 24,492 vacancies now have additional time to complete their applications and secure their chance at a state government career.

New Deadlines at a Glance

The commission decided to push the dates forward following the addition of several new vacancies and technical requests from applicants. Here are the revised dates you need to remember:

Event	Revised Date
Last Date for Registration & Fee Payment	January 29, 2026 (11:59 PM)
Last Date for Final Form Submission	January 31, 2026 (11:59 PM)
Total Number of Vacancies	24,492

Why the Extension?

Originally, the application window was set to close mid-January. However, the BSSC issued a corrigendum (Advertisement No. 02/23 A) increasing the total seat count to 24,492. To accommodate the high volume of candidates and ensure those in rural areas or those facing technical glitches on the portal could apply, the commission opted for this final extension.
