BPSC 71st Mains Result 2026: 3,185 Qualify for Interview

The BPSC 71st Mains Result 2026 is out. The Bihar Public Service Commission declared it on 6 November 2026, and 3,185 candidates have qualified for the interview in the main Combined Competitive Examination. A second list published the same day adds 207 names for Financial Administrative Officer posts, which is why some reports put the total at 3,392. Both lists are PDFs on bpsc.bihar.gov.in, free to open, and neither needs a login.

11,125 candidates appeared for the main examination, held on 25 April and 27 to 29 April 2026. If your roll number is on the list, the interview is next. BPSC has not fixed the dates yet. The result notice says the details will be published separately, so the list is the news for now and the schedule comes later.

Both PDFs sit on the same page, and both open without a login.

Why some reports say 3,392

Search BPSC 71st CCE Mains Result and the first number you meet is 3,392. That number is real, but it counts two lists at once. BPSC published two result PDFs on 6 November, one for the main Combined Competitive Examination and one for Financial Administrative Officer and equivalent posts.

The main list has 3,185 names. The FAO list has 207. Add them and you get 3,392.

The FAO list is the smaller one. It covers Financial Administrative Officer and equivalent posts in the Finance Department, 79 of the 1,298 posts. The FAO Mains had 742 candidates appear and 207 qualified, roughly one in four of those who appeared, close to the main list's rate.

So the headline number depends on which list you mean. If you sat the main examination, your list is the 3,185. If you applied for the FAO posts, yours is the 207. Mixing the two gives a total that belongs to no single list, and candidates have been reading the combined figure as the main result all day.

The main list also carries a category break-up, and it adds up cleanly to 3,185. Unreserved leads with 1,467 names. Extremely Backward Class follows with 474, and Scheduled Caste with 421.

The rest are Backward Class with 405 and EWS with 309. Backward Classes (Women) account for 84 and Scheduled Tribe for 25. That split is useful if you want to know where you stand, but the roll number is what decides it. Either your number is in the PDF or it is not.

The road to this list started with the Prelims on 13 September 2025. Of the 3,16,762 candidates who appeared, 14,261 qualified for the Mains.

That funnel is the point. Only 11,125 sat the main examination, and 3,185 came through it. A little over one in four of those who appeared made the interview list, and about two and a half interview calls will go out for each of the 1,298 posts.

How to check your result

Open bpsc.bihar.gov.in. On the homepage, open Important Announcements and pick the Results filter. The two entries dated 06-11-2026 are the CCE list and the FAO list. Open the one that matches your post, then press Ctrl and F on a computer or use find in the PDF on a phone, and type your roll number.

Download the PDF and keep a copy on your phone and on a computer. You will want it again when the interview schedule comes out, and the BPSC site is slow on result days. The two PDFs are short. The main list runs to six pages and the FAO list is a single page, so checking takes a minute once the file opens.

Check only bpsc.bihar.gov.in. Forwarded PDFs and screenshots in chat groups are easy to fake, and a wrong list costs more than the two minutes the official site takes. If a link asks you to log in or pay to see the result, leave it. BPSC puts the list out in the open.

What happens after the result

The interview is the last stage. BPSC has not announced dates, and the result notice says the details will be published separately on the same site.

Keep your certificates ready in the meantime. Age proof first, then your degree, then a caste or EWS certificate if you claimed one. You will need them when the interview call comes, and sorting paperwork after the schedule lands is a bad way to spend the gap.

The UPSC Mains result came out a day earlier, on 5 November, with 2,526 candidates through to the Personality Test.
