The Bihar Public Service Commission re‑opened recruitment for 218 department‑head vacancies in state and women’s polytechnic colleges, but received no applications.
The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) announced a fresh round of recruitment for 218 department‑head positions across state‑run polytechnic and women’s polytechnic institutes after the initial call did not yield sufficient candidates. The commission issued a renewed advertisement, inviting eligible candidates to submit their applications within the stipulated deadline.
These 218 vacancies cover senior administrative roles that oversee academic and operational functions in the polytechnic institutions. The posts are classified as government jobs, traditionally attracting large numbers of aspirants in Bihar's competitive job market.
Despite the renewed invitation, BPSC reported that no applications were received for any of the 218 positions. The complete lack of response is unusual given the high demand for stable government employment in the state.
The commission has not released a detailed explanation for the zero turnout, but the outcome highlights a potential mismatch between the qualifications required for these senior roles and the pool of interested candidates. BPSC may need to reassess the eligibility criteria or outreach strategy before reopening the recruitment process.
