How to Download the BPSC APO OMR Sheet 2026 PDF

There is no public link or roll-number search for the BPSC APO OMR sheet download PDF. Each candidate's sheet sits inside their own login, so any site promising a "direct PDF" is only sending you to the same BPSC login page.

1. Open the candidate login. Go to bpsconline.bihar.gov.in/candidate/login. This is the same portal you used to fill the APO form and download your admit card.
2. Sign in with your registration credentials. On BPSC's portal this is your Registration Number (or Login ID), password and the captcha. If you've forgotten the password, use the reset option on the login page now, not on 3 November.
3. Find Advt. No. 13/2026 on your dashboard. If you have applied for more than one BPSC exam, make sure you open the Assistant Prosecution Officer application and not another one.
4. Open the OMR Sheet (Uttar Patrak) option. Your scanned answer sheet opens on screen. Since Prelims had two papers, General Studies and Law, check that you can see the sheet for each paper you attempted.
5. Save it in two places. Download the Bihar APO OMR sheet PDF to your phone and email a copy to yourself. A screenshot alone isn't enough if you later need to show the full sheet.

What to Check on Your Bihar APO OMR Sheet 2026 PDF

Candidates first open the sheet next to your admit card and your own notes from 15 July. 

Check	What to Look For	Why It Matters
Roll number	Matches your admit card digit for digit, both written and bubbled	A wrong roll number can put your marks against someone else
Question booklet series	The series code you marked matches the booklet you received	Answers are evaluated against the key for that series
Paper	Separate sheets for General Studies and Law	You need both to calculate a full Prelims score
Signature and photo areas	Your handwriting and signature, not a stranger's	Confirms the sheet is genuinely yours
Marked bubbles	Each darkened bubble sits where you remember marking it	The basis of any score you calculate
Scan quality	No blank pages, cut-off columns or missing question rows	A partial scan is a valid reason to write to BPSC

How to Raise an Objection on the BPSC APO OMR Sheet 2026

Candidates can send one email to examcontroller-bpsc@gov.in on or before 3 November 2026. That's the only channel BPSC will accept; letters, phone calls and visits to Bailey Road won't be counted.

An OMR objection is about the sheet itself, not about answers. "Question 42 has two correct options" belongs to the answer key process, which closed before the final key came out on 12 October. "My sheet shows Series C but I marked Series A" is an OMR objection.

Keep the email short and checkable. BPSC staff will be reading hundreds of them.

• Subject line should be - OMR Sheet Error – APO Prelims, Advt. No. 13/2026 – Roll No. [your roll number]
• Mention full name, roll number, registration number and the paper concerned (General Studies or Law).
• The error, stated once: for example, "The OMR sheet shown on my dashboard carries roll number 1234568, while my roll number is 1234567."
• Attachments should be added to the mail: the downloaded OMR sheet PDF and your admit card. Mark the problem area on a copy if that helps.
• Add registered mobile number and email.

Send it from the email ID you registered with BPSC, and keep the sent copy. If the portal or email bounces close to the deadline, a sent copy with a timestamp is your only record.

How to Calculate Your Score Using the OMR Sheet and Final Answer Key

Candidate’s memory of what you marked in July is not reliable three months later. The OMR sheet is. Pair it with the final answer key BPSC released on 12 October 2026 and you get the closest estimate available before the result.

As per the Bihar APO exam pattern, each Prelims paper has 100 questions: General Studies carries 100 marks and Law carries 150 marks. That makes a Law question worth 1.5 marks, which is why a few extra correct answers in Paper 2 move your total more than the same number in Paper 1.

1. Keep the Bihar APO question paper 2026 open beside you, and download the final answer key for both papers from bpsc.bihar.gov.in and pick the key for your booklet series.
2. Go through your OMR sheet question by question and mark each response correct, wrong or unattempted.
3. Strike off questions the final key lists as deleted. Coverage of the final key reported that 5 General Studies questions and 2 Law questions were dropped. Confirm against the official PDF.
4. Multiply correct answers by the marks per question for that paper.
5. Apply negative marking only if it is stated in the Advt. No. 13/2026 notification. Don't borrow a rule from another BPSC exam.

Here's a worked example with made-up numbers. Say you got 68 right in General Studies and 74 right in Law, with no negative marking: 68 × 1 + 74 × 1.5 = 68 + 111 = 179 out of 250.

Candidates should keep in mind that Prelims is a screening stage. According to the same exam pattern guide, Prelims marks are not added to the final merit, so your target is to clear the Bihar APO cut off, not to top the paper.

Common Mistakes Candidates Make With the OMR Sheet

Most problems with the Bihar APO OMR sheet don't come from BPSC. They come from the week candidates spend not looking at it.

• Waiting for the result first. The result and the OMR window are separate. If the result comes after 3 November, you will have lost your copy already.
• Downloading only one paper. You attempted two papers. Save both sheets, or your score estimate covers only part of the exam.
• Sending answer-key disputes as OMR objections. The final key is final. An email arguing about a question's answer will not be treated as an OMR error.
• Writing from a different email ID. Use the address linked to your BPSC registration so your objection can be matched to your application.
• Trusting "OMR sheet PDF download" links on other sites. Third-party pages cannot show your personal sheet. Some ask for your login details; don't enter them anywhere except bpsconline.bihar.gov.in.
• Scoring against the wrong series. Covered above, and it's still the most common reason for a wildly wrong estimate.

What Happens After the BPSC APO OMR Sheet 2026 Window Closes

The next step is the Bihar APO result for Prelims. BPSC has not announced a date. With the final key out on 12 October and the OMR window ending on 3 November, the result is the remaining Prelims milestone, but any date you see online before an official notice is a guess.

The selection then moves in three stages:

1. Prelims result: a PDF list of roll numbers that qualify for Mains.
2. Mains examination: descriptive papers in General Studies, Hindi, English, BNS, BSA, BNSS with CPC, Constitutional Law and Other Laws. Hindi and English are qualifying papers with a 30-mark minimum, according to the exam pattern.
3. Interview: generally 100 marks, for candidates who clear Mains.

If candidates OMR-based score is comfortably above last cycle's cut off, start Mains answer writing now. Descriptive law papers can't be crammed in the weeks between a result and the Mains date. 

Revisit the Bihar APO syllabus for the Other Laws paper first; it covers ten separate Acts, from the NDPS Act to the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, and it's the paper most Prelims-focused candidates have barely opened.
