The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has officially released the admit card for the much-anticipated Assistant Education Development Officer (AEDO) exam, scheduled to take place in April 2026. This recruitment drive is particularly significant, as it has attracted around 9.8 lakh candidates vying for just 935 vacancies.
The admit card became available for download on April 3, 2026, and candidates are urged to access it through the official BPSC website. It is crucial for candidates to print their admit cards and bring them, along with a valid photo ID proof, to the examination centers.
The written exam will be conducted in offline mode over multiple days: April 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, and 21, 2026. Each day will feature two shifts, with the morning session running from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and the afternoon session from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM.
As candidates prepare for the exam, they should note that the exam will include a negative marking system, where 1/3 of a mark will be deducted for each incorrect answer. This adds an extra layer of strategy for those sitting for the test, as they must balance accuracy with the number of questions attempted.
In addition to the exam structure, candidates should be aware of the minimum percentage requirement of 30% in the qualifying paper. The General Studies and General Aptitude papers will each carry 100 marks, with a duration of two hours for each.
The BPSC recruitment for the AEDO position is a vital opportunity for many, given the competitive nature of the job market in Bihar. The salary for the AEDO post is set at ₹29,200, making it an attractive option for those looking to build a career in education development.
Officials have expressed optimism about the smooth conduct of the examination, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the guidelines outlined in the admit card. Candidates are encouraged to check their individual admit cards for specific reporting times and shift details.
As the exam dates approach, the excitement and anxiety among candidates are palpable. Many have invested significant time and effort into their preparations, hoping to secure a position that will allow them to contribute to the educational landscape of Bihar.
With the admit cards now in hand, candidates are one step closer to realizing their aspirations. The BPSC remains committed to ensuring a fair and transparent examination process, and all eyes will be on the upcoming days as the candidates take to their respective centers.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any last-minute changes to the exam schedule or procedures, but candidates are advised to stay updated through official channels.
