Important Dates

• Starting Date for Apply Online – 16 July 2026
• Last Date for Apply Online – 16 August 2026

Why This Job Is Worth Considering

Forest Range Officer isn’t your everyday government job — it comes with field responsibility, a supervisory role in forest divisions, and a decent pay package under Pay Level 3 (₹35,400 – ₹1,12,400). For candidates who studied subjects like Botany, Zoology, Forestry, or Agriculture and have always wondered where those degrees could actually take them in the government sector, this is pretty much a tailor-made opportunity.

Educational Qualification

BPSSC has kept the eligibility fairly specific here, so read this carefully before you plan to apply:

• A Bachelor’s Degree with at least one subject from the following: Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science, Botany, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, or Zoology
• OR a Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture, Forestry, or Engineering from any university recognised in India

Along with the educational qualification, there are physical eligibility norms too:

• Height: 163 cm for male candidates, 152.5 cm for female candidates
• Chest (Male candidates only): 79–84 cm (with expansion)

For the complete list of relaxations and category-wise exceptions, it’s best to go through the official notification PDF once, since a few clauses may apply differently to reserved category candidates.

Age Limit

Age will be calculated as on 1 August 2025.

• Minimum Age: 20 years
• Maximum Age: 37 years for male candidates, 40 years for female candidates

As always, category-wise age relaxation is applicable as per Bihar government norms — check the notification for exact figures for SC/ST/EBC/BC candidates.

• Payment has to be made online through the payment gateway available on the application portal.

A Few Honest Suggestions Before You Apply

• Read the official notification PDF at least once fully before filling the form — short summaries (including this one) are meant to give you a quick picture, not replace the actual notice.
• Make sure your degree subject genuinely matches the eligibility criteria listed, since BPSSC is fairly specific about accepted subjects.
• Keep scanned copies of all documents ready in the correct format and size before you start filling the form, so you don’t have to rush midway.
• Note down your registration ID and password somewhere safe after registering — many candidates lose access simply because they forget login details.
