Bihar APO Vacancy 2026 is the first data point that shapes the entire recruitment cycle—cut-off expectations, category-wise competition, and the overall selection window. The vacancy figure is published only in the official BPSC notification PDF, so every “expected” number seen on coaching portals should be treated as provisional until the commission uploads the final notice on its website.
The exact Bihar APO Vacancy 2026 count will be announced in the official BPSC advertisement/notification. Track the BPSC website’s Advertisements and Important Announcements area for the PDF.
Best practice: Use expected numbers only for planning intensity (mock targets + revision cycles). The moment the official PDF is released, update this page with (1) total posts and (2) category-wise breakup table to improve user experience and rankings.
| Update Type | Status | Where It Appears |
|---|---|---|
| Official Total Vacancy | Awaited | BPSC Advertisement/Notification PDF |
| Category-wise Breakup | Awaited | Vacancy/Reservation table inside PDF |
| Expected Vacancy (Unofficial) | Varies across sources | ~300 or ~434–435 (tentative) |
Until the official BPSC advertisement is published, discussions about vacancies remain speculative. A commonly reported estimate suggests ~300 posts, while another source discusses a higher range of ~434–435. Both should be treated as tentative until BPSC confirms the final figure in the PDF.
It is normal to see conflicting “expected vacancy” numbers before the official notification. The gap usually happens because:
That is why the Bihar APO Vacancy 2026 page should clearly label pre-notification numbers as “expected/rumoured” and update instantly once the BPSC PDF is live.
For a realistic benchmark, the earlier BPSC APO recruitment (Advertisement No. 01/2020) notified a total of 553 vacancies. This is useful for comparing the scale of recruitment once the 2026 vacancy is announced.
How to use the benchmark: If the 2026 vacancy is closer to the 553 scale, the selection window is typically broader. If it is much lower, the cut-off pressure generally rises—plan higher mock targets and stricter accuracy goals.

Vacancy impacts cut-off indirectly. The main drivers are: (1) number of applicants, (2) difficulty level, and (3) vacancy count. Still, vacancy is the easiest number to track and use for practical planning:
Waiting for a vacancy should not slow preparation. The most reliable approach is to prepare as though the competition will be high and keep the plan revision-heavy:
