Advertisement 27/2026 of the Bihar Technical Service Commission fills 787 regular posts of Touring Veterinary Officer and equivalent in the basic grade of the Bihar Veterinary Service, under the Dairy, Fisheries and Animal Resources Department. The pay is Pay Matrix Level-9, ₹53,100 to ₹1,67,800. The category table lists 215+13 unreserved posts, 55 EWS, 207 SC, 13 ST, 195 EBC, 78 BC and 11 for backward-class women. The 13 extra unreserved posts are disability posts carried over from the previous advertisement. The notice says vacancies may still go up or down if the department sends a revised requisition before the written test.

Who can apply

You need a B.V.Sc. or B.V.Sc. & A.H. degree from a university recognised by the Veterinary Council of India and permanent registration with the Bihar Veterinary Council. Age is counted on 1 August 2026: at least 21, and at most 37 for unreserved men, 40 for unreserved women and backward classes, and 42 for SC and ST. Since the previous recruitment counted age from 1 August 2021, anyone who was within the age limit at any point between 1 August 2021 and 1 August 2026 may also apply. Only one age relaxation can be used.

Reservation rules

Reservation is given only to permanent residents of Bihar, and only if you claim it in the online form. Women who are Bihar residents get 35% horizontal reservation, grandchildren of freedom fighters 2%, and benchmark disabled candidates who are Bihar residents have posts reserved by type of disability. Graduates of veterinary colleges located in Bihar get a separate 50% horizontal reservation in every category. BC and EBC candidates must have a non-creamy-layer certificate, and EWS candidates an income and asset certificate.

Written test and merit

The written test is a computer based test with 100 objective questions in Hindi and English, 100 marks and 2 hours, based on the B.V.Sc. & A.H. syllabus. Each wrong answer costs 0.25 mark. Your percentage in the test is multiplied by 0.75, so 60% becomes 45 marks. Contract work on the same post for the Bihar government or a non-private body in Bihar adds 5 marks per year, up to 25 marks, but only if you pass the written test and give the pay-payment certificate in the format attached to the notice.

Fee and documents

The fee is ₹100 for every candidate and can only be paid online by card, internet banking or UPI. In the form you must upload your Matriculation certificate, all B.V.Sc. mark sheets and degree, Bihar Veterinary Council registration, and any caste, domicile, disability, ex-serviceman or pay-payment certificates you are claiming. Every certificate must be issued on or before 23 October 2026, and at document verification only the documents uploaded with the form are accepted.
