In a significant initiative aimed at supporting the youth of bihar, chief minister Nitish Kumar announced on august 15, 2025, that candidates taking preliminary tests for state government job competitions will only need to pay a nominal fee of Rs 100. In a further groundbreaking move, those who qualify for the mains examinations will be exempt from any fees altogether.


This decision, communicated by Kumar through a post on X in Hindi, comes as a welcomed relief for thousands of aspirants gearing up for government positions, especially with upcoming assembly elections on the horizon. The chief minister asserted that this initiative is designed to alleviate the financial strain on young job seekers in the state. “We have decided to standardize the preliminary test fee at Rs 100 across all competitive exams conducted by state commissions. Furthermore, candidates who pass the prelims will not incur any fees for the mains,” Kumar stated.


The new fee structure will apply to examinations organized by various bodies, including the bihar Public service Commission, bihar Staff Selection Commission, bihar Technical service Commission, bihar Police Subordinate service Commission, and the Central Constable Selection Board.


Kumar underscored his government’s ongoing commitment to youth employment, mentioning, “From the outset, providing government jobs to Bihar’s youth has been our priority. This decision marks another milestone in securing their future.” The policy is anticipated to benefit a vast number of candidates, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, by making the examination process more accessible. As bihar readies itself for the electoral cycle, this youth-focused policy is likely to resonate widely among job seekers across the state.
