The commission has commenced the online application process for the appointment of 2,809 Junior Engineers (JE) across various state government departments. This presents a significant opportunity for diploma holders in engineering seeking stable government employment in Bihar.

According to the detailed official notification, the 2,809 vacancies are distributed among three core engineering disciplines. The bulk of the opportunities are in the civil engineering sector.
The post-wise vacancy distribution is as follows:

To be eligible, candidates must possess a diploma in the relevant engineering field from a recognised institute or university. Furthermore, applicants must be between 18 and 37 years of age as of August 1, 2025. The commission will provide standard age relaxation to candidates from reserved categories as per the prevailing government rules of Bihar.
Application Process, Fee, and Selection Stages
Interested and eligible candidates can submit their applications exclusively through the BTSC's official web portal: btsc.bihar.gov.in. The application window opened on December 12, 2025, and will remain active until January 12, 2026.
