Bihar Vidhan Sabha Secretariat has released a fresh direct-recruitment drive on 4 November 2026 for 20 permanent vacancies across two entry-level posts: 15 Junior Secretariat Assistant positions under Advertisement No. 01/2026 and 5 Office Attendant positions under Advertisement No. 02/2026. The online application window is scheduled to open on 7 November 2026 at 11:00 AM and remain available through 6 December 2026, giving candidates more than four weeks to complete registration and fee payment. This recruitment is particularly useful for candidates with basic school-level qualifications: Junior Secretariat Assistant requires Intermediate or an equivalent 10+2 qualification, while Office Attendant requires Matriculation or an equivalent Class 10 qualification. Both posts are regular Bihar Vidhan Sabha Secretariat appointments, but their pay levels and selection methods differ. Junior Secretariat Assistant carries Pay Level 2 and uses an OMR preliminary examination followed by Hindi and English typing tests, while Office Attendant carries Pay Level 1 and is normally selected through interview, with an OMR preliminary examination possible if applications exceed the notified threshold. The general male age range is 18 to 37 years, with higher upper-age limits for women and reserved categories under Bihar rules. Reservation benefits are tied to Bihar domicile, so candidates should check category certificates and residence proof carefully before applying.
