The BPSC AEDO recruitment drive is significant due to the high number of applicants competing for a limited number of posts. As of April 3, 2026, the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has officially released the admit card for the Assistant Education Development Officer (AEDO) exam. This announcement comes as a relief to the approximately 9.8 lakh candidates who have applied for just 935 vacancies.
Candidates can download their admit cards from the official BPSC website. It is important to note that the admit card is available only in online mode and will not be sent via post or email. To gain entry to the exam center, candidates must carry a printed copy of their admit card along with a valid photo ID proof.
The written examination is scheduled to take place on April 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, and 21, 2026, and will be conducted in offline mode using OMR sheets. The exam will be held in two shifts each day: the morning shift from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and the afternoon shift from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM.
Each candidate is advised to check their individual admit cards for specific reporting times and shift details. Furthermore, candidates should be aware that there will be negative marking in the exam, with 1/3rd of a mark deducted for each incorrect answer.
With a competitive salary of ₹29,200 for the AEDO post, the stakes are high for those participating in this recruitment process. The exam will assess candidates on General Studies and General Aptitude, each carrying 100 marks, with a minimum percentage of 30 required in the qualifying paper.
As the exam dates approach, candidates are encouraged to prepare thoroughly and ensure they have all necessary documents ready for the exam day. Observers note that the high number of applicants reflects the growing interest in public service roles in Bihar, making this a pivotal moment for many aspiring educators.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any last-minute changes to the exam schedule or procedures, so candidates should stay updated through the official BPSC channels.
