BSSC Office Attendant Advt 02/2022: Prelims Result Clarification Notice of 2 January 2026

The Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC) issued a notice dated 2 January 2026 about the preliminary-exam result for the Office Attendant post under Advertisement No. 02/2022. The Department of Science, Technology and Technical Education, Bihar, advertised the post. The notice does not publish a new result. It clarifies how the merit list for the earlier result was prepared. It responds to candidates who said their marks were above the cut-off but who were not in the list of those qualified for the main exam.

Key facts about this result notice

What the notice says

The reason for the clarification

The notice says that some candidates had written to the commission through various channels. They claimed their marks were higher than the cut-off, yet the published result did not include them. The commission replied that the merit list had been prepared according to the selection rules already laid down for this recruitment.

How marks were treated

The notice refers to a corrigendum of the Science and Technology Department dated 15 May 2023. According to the notice, the commission holds a written exam and recommends candidates on merit. The marks candidates obtain are multiplied by 0.95. A preference applies only to applicants who earlier worked as Class IV staff under the World Bank-funded Polytechnic Education Strengthening Project. They get 1 percent for each year of satisfactory service, up to a maximum of 5 percent. A period beyond six months counts as a full year. The merit list was prepared on this basis.

In short, the cut-off is not a simple comparison of raw marks. A candidate's raw score is first adjusted by the 0.95 multiplier, and the project-service preference is added where it applies. The notice does not state the cut-off figure.

Background the notice gives

• The notice states that 3,46,777 online applications were received for the advertisement.
• It explains that the department changed the selection method to a written exam. The reason was that preparing a list from matriculation marks would have required physical matching of certificates and verification with the issuing boards.
• It says the written exam is objective and at matriculation or equivalent level. The commission decides the syllabus.

How to check the result

The result is published as a PDF notice on the BSSC website, so no login is described in the evidence. The earlier preliminary-result notice was listed on the BSSC notice board under 04-12-2025. The official links below point to that earlier result notice and to the clarification notice. Check the PDF for your own status. This article does not reproduce any candidate list.

Next steps for candidates

• Read the clarification notice in full if you believe your marks exceed the cut-off. Compare your raw marks with the adjusted-marks method described above.
• Follow the notice's own instruction. Candidates should keep checking the BSSC website and the Science and Technology Department website for updated information.
• Note the caveat in the notice. The recruitment process is affected by the outcome of a pending review matter in the Patna High Court. The notice does not describe the outcome.

Limits of the available evidence

• The copy of the notice available here is a poor-quality scan. Some numbers are unreadable, including the number of candidates found qualified and the exact date of the earlier notice as cited inside the PDF. This article therefore does not state them.
• The notice does not give a cut-off score, a grievance procedure, a deadline or a new schedule, so none is stated here.
• The BSSC notice board lists later, separate notices for Advertisement 02/2022. They are outside this article's scope, which covers only the preliminary-result notice dated 2 January 2026.
• This is a historical notice. The evidence does not confirm whether the linked PDFs remain open for download.

FAQ

Is this a new preliminary result?

No. The notice clarifies the merit-list basis for the preliminary result already published. It does not replace that result.

Why might a candidate with marks above the cut-off be missing?

According to the notice, the merit list is built on marks multiplied by 0.95, plus the stated preference where it applies. It is not built on raw marks alone.
