Before you fill the form, let me walk you through exactly what this job is, what you need to qualify, and how to avoid common mistakes.

---

First, understand what this job is

Most people think of police jobs as only beat constables or inspectors. But modern policing needs technical experts too.

ASI Technical is a specialized role. You will not be standing on traffic duty. Instead, you will handle:

• Technical investigation support

• Communication systems

• Cyber and electronic evidence

• Equipment maintenance and operations

This is a diploma-level entry government job. You start at Pay Level 5. And you work in a police department – which means job security, pension, and government benefits.

But here is the reality check: Only 22 vacancies are available. Thousands of diploma holders will apply. Competition is fierce.

Vacancy details – Category-wise breakdown

Important: Apply only under your correct category. If you claim a reserved category without a valid certificate, your application will be rejected.

---

Educational qualification – Do you have the right diploma?

You must have a three-year diploma from a recognized polytechnic institute in one of these disciplines:

What is NOT allowed:

• Computer Science Engineering (unless specifically mentioned as IT)

• Mechanical Engineering

• Civil Engineering

• Any diploma less than 3 years

• Any degree (B.Tech) – this recruitment is for diploma holders only

One more thing: Your diploma must be from an institute recognized by the State Board of Technical Education or AICTE. Distance learning diplomas? Check the official notification carefully – most are not accepted.

---

Physical eligibility – Do you meet the body standards?

This is where many candidates get rejected. Do not ignore this section.

Height Requirement

Chest Measurement (Male candidates only)

Weight Requirement

Practical advice: Get your height and chest measured at a local clinic BEFORE you apply. If you are even 1 cm short, do not waste your time and money.

---

Age limit – Category-wise (as on application date)

Age calculation date: This will be mentioned in the official notification (usually the last date of application). Check the official PDF.

Relaxation: As per Bihar government rules. No relaxation beyond what is shown above.

---

Application fee – Only ₹100 for everyone

Pay online – debit card, credit card, net banking, UPI.

Good news: The fee is very low compared to other government exams. No category gets free application here – everyone pays ₹100.

Bad news: The fee is non-refundable. Even if your application is rejected.

---

Selection process – 3 stages, 3 filters

Only the ones who clear all 3 stages make it to the final merit list.

Let me explain each stage.

---

Stage 1: Preliminary Exam – What you need to know

Subject breakdown:

Passing marks:

Preparation focus:

• Technical subject carries 60 marks – this is your strength. Master your diploma syllabus.

• GK carries 40 marks – do not ignore it. Focus on Bihar-specific GK, current affairs, and basic science.

---

Stage 2: Main Exam – Two papers

Negative marking: 0.2 marks deducted for every incorrect answer (in Paper 2 – Technical Subject).

What this means: If you guess 5 questions and get 3 right, 2 wrong:

• Right: 3 × 1 = +3

• Wrong: 2 × (-0.2) = -0.4

• Net = +2.6 marks

It is not as harsh as AFCAT, but still – avoid random guessing.

Language paper (Paper 1):

• Hindi grammar and comprehension

• English grammar and comprehension

• Basic language skills

Do not ignore this paper thinking “I know Hindi”. The questions can be tricky.

---

Stage 3: Physical Efficiency Test (PET)

This is not optional. You have to pass it.

Exact PET standards will be in the official notification. Typically for Bihar police ASI posts:

Start preparing for PET today. Do not wait until you clear the written exams. Running cannot be learned in a week.

---

Salary – How much will you earn?

Selected candidates are placed in Pay Level 5 under Bihar government rules.

Estimated salary structure:

Plus:

• Government accommodation (or HRA)

• Medical benefits

• Pension after retirement

• Job security

How to prepare – Subject-wise strategy

Technical Subject (60 marks in Prelim, 100 marks in Main)

• Networking basics (OSI model, IP addressing, protocols)

• Electrical circuits (Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s laws, AC/DC)

Focus on:

• Bihar specific GK (history, geography, politics, culture)

• Current affairs (last 6 months – national and international)

• Indian Polity (Constitution, Parliament, President, Governor)

Best resources:

5 mistakes that will reject your application

1. Wrong diploma discipline

Your diploma must be in Electronics, Telecommunication, IT, or Electrical & Electronics. Computer Science diploma? Not eligible. Mechanical? Not eligible.

Fix: Check your diploma certificate. Apply only if your discipline is in the allowed list.

2. Failing physical standards

You claim height 165 cm. At document verification, you measure 163 cm. Rejected on the spot.

Fix: Get measured at a clinic BEFORE you apply. Do not lie.

3. Category mismatch

You apply under BC category but your BC certificate is from another state (not Bihar). Rejected.

Fix: Your category certificate must be issued by Bihar government authorities.

4. Incorrect percentage calculation

You write 65% in the form. Your marksheet shows 64.8%. Rejected.

Fix: Calculate exact percentage from your marksheet. No rounding off.

5. Applying on the last day

21 June. Server crashes. Your year is wasted.

Fix: Apply by 15 June. Do not wait.

This is a niche opportunity for diploma holders. Very few government jobs are reserved specifically for technical diplomas. If you qualify, do not let it slip away.

Good luck.
