Bihar APO 2026 Category-wise Vacancy Details  

BPSC has clearly specified how the 300 posts are distributed across categories, along with the number of seats earmarked for women within each category. Here is the complete category-wise vacancy table:  

Category	Total Posts	Reserved for Women
Unreserved (UR)	129	41
Economically Weaker Section (EWS)	29	10
Scheduled Caste (SC)	42	15
Scheduled Tribe (ST)	7	2
Extremely Backward Class (EBC)	64	22
Backward Class (BC)	25	9
Backward Class Women	4	-

Here are a few important observations from this category-wise vacancy distribution:  

• The unreserved category carries the single largest share with 129 posts, followed by EBC with 64 posts together. These two categories account for nearly two-thirds of the total vacancies. 
• ST category has the smallest allocation at just 7 posts, so competition within this category is expected to be sharp despite the lower seat count working in candidates' favor proportionally. 
• The Backward Class Women row (4 posts) reflects a category-specific women's sub-quota separate from the general 35% horizontal reservation applied across other categories.
