The Bihar government is continuing its initiative to fill vacant posts across various departments. One of the significant upcoming opportunities is from the Department of Panchayati Raj, which will soon open applications for 8093 clerk vacancies. These positions will be filled through the Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC). The recruitment is expected to begin in August 2025, offering a major opportunity for 12th pass candidates.

8093 Clerk Posts in Panchayati Raj Department to Be Filled

According to official sources, BSSC will conduct recruitment for lower division clerks across all 8054 Gram Panchayats in Bihar. There will be one clerk post in each Gram Panchayat. The remaining posts will be allotted to other administrative units under the department.

Candidates applying for these posts must have passed the Intermediate (12th) examination from any recognized board. Recruitment will follow reservation norms as prescribed by the Bihar government. Other conditions, such as age limits and relaxations, will also follow the rules defined by the General Administration Department.

This move is expected to improve the efficiency of grassroots administration and create significant employment opportunities for intermediate-level educated youth in rural Bihar.

Eligibility Criteria and Selection Process for BSSC Clerk Posts

To apply for the BSSC clerk recruitment 2025, candidates must meet the following criteria:

They must be at least 12th pass from a recognized board. The minimum and maximum age limits will be announced officially, but it is expected to be around 18 to 37 years, with relaxations for reserved categories. The selection process will likely include a written examination, followed by document verification. Final details will be published in the official notification expected next month.

This recruitment is part of the Bihar government’s commitment to restructure Panchayati Raj operations by ensuring that every Gram Panchayat has dedicated administrative support.

IBPS Clerk Recruitment 2025 Also Begins from 1 August

In another major development, the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) has also released its notification for Clerk recruitment 2025. This news is a welcome announcement for candidates preparing for banking competitive exams.

The IBPS Clerk application window will remain open from 1 August to 21 August 2025. Candidates can apply through the official website at ibps.in. This year’s notification outlines the tentative exam dates for both the Preliminary and Main examinations.

According to the IBPS schedule, the preliminary exam is expected to take place on 1 October 2025, while the main exam is likely to be held on 1 November 2025.

Eligibility Criteria and Fees for IBPS Clerk 2025

To be eligible for the IBPS Clerk 2025 exam, candidates must hold a graduate degree from a recognized university. The maximum age limit has been set at 28 years, and relaxations for SC, ST, OBC, and other reserved categories will apply as per government norms.

Double Opportunity for Job Seekers in Bihar

For aspirants preparing for government jobs in Bihar, these two announcements present a golden opportunity. On one hand, BSSC’s upcoming recruitment is ideal for those with an intermediate qualification looking for stable administrative jobs within their own localities. On the other, IBPS clerk posts offer a chance to enter the banking sector at the national level, which remains one of the most sought-after career paths in the country.

Both exams require thorough preparation, and interested candidates are advised to stay updated with official notifications, syllabus details, and exam patterns. Timely registration and document readiness are crucial to avoid last-minute hurdles.

With over 8000 clerk posts in Bihar’s Panchayati Raj department and expected 5000+ vacancies in IBPS, August 2025 is set to bring multiple opportunities for job seekers. These government initiatives underline the focus on employment generation and grassroots governance strengthening.

Candidates should begin their preparation now, ensuring they meet all eligibility requirements before official application links go live. These are competitive roles and are likely to attract lakhs of applicants, making it essential to be well-prepared in advance.
