What Happens After the Prelims Result?
Candidates included in the preliminary result will now have to appear in the Main Written Examination.
The Main Examination is the next important stage of the selection process, and candidates should begin preparation without waiting for the admit card. BPSSC is expected to issue a separate notice containing the examination date, reporting instructions and e-admit card schedule.
As of August 12, 2026, candidates should treat only a separately issued BPSSC notice as confirmation of the Main Examination schedule.
Candidates who clear subsequent written and physical stages will proceed further according to the selection procedure prescribed under Advertisement No. 03/2026.
Result PDF Is Not Final Selection
Qualifying the preliminary examination does not mean that a candidate has been selected for appointment.
The preliminary examination is a screening stage. The 1,560 shortlisted candidates must clear the subsequent stages of recruitment before final selection can be considered.
Candidates should therefore retain their application details and other recruitment documents and regularly check BPSSC notices for the Main Examination schedule.
What Qualified Candidates Should Do Now
Candidates whose roll numbers appear in the result should begin Main Examination preparation immediately. They should also keep their registration details, photograph, identity proof and other recruitment documents readily available.
The most important upcoming development will be the BPSSC SI Prohibition Main Exam date and admit card notice. Until that schedule is officially announced, candidates should avoid relying on unofficial examination dates circulating online.
