Check Your Eligibility (Age)
BPSSC FRO 2026 Apply Online is the official application guide for the 16 Range Officer of Forests posts notified by the Bihar Police Subordinate Services Commission under Advertisement No. 10/2026. The official notice was published on 10.07.2026 and the application window ran 16.07.2026 to 16.08.2026. It is closed, and rechecked on 12.09.2026 the Commission has published nothing further for Advertisement 10/2026, not even the rejection list.
Timeline from the Commission’s last Forest Range Officer cycle
There is no schedule for 10/2026 and guessing one would be worthless. What does exist is the complete, dated trail of the previous Range Officer recruitment, Advertisement 02/2025, still on the same page of the BPSSC site. Read on 12.09.2026, it is the only honest guide to what happens next and when.
| Stage in the 02/2025 cycle | When BPSSC published it |
|---|---|
| Advertisement and apply link | 29.04.2025 and 30.04.2025. |
| Photo and signature notice | 12.06.2025, with a re-upload window. |
| Invalid applications list | 27.06.2025, about six weeks after the window shut. |
| Written exam notice and admit card | 01.08 and 07.08.2025, with the centre list. |
| Written examination | 24.08.2025, roughly four months after the advertisement. |
| Written result | 23.09.2025, thirty days after the paper. |
| Interview call letter | 29.10.2025. |
| PET, DV and PET admit card | 25.11.2025 and 01.12.2025. |
| Medical test | 23.12.2025. |
| Final result | 03.02.2026, about nine months after the advertisement. |
| Marks of all candidates | 04.05.2026, viewable from 06.05.2026. |
| What it means for 10/2026 | Written exam around December 2026, final result around April 2027. |
Note: A rejected photo is fixable at the re-upload stage and not later. The invalid applications list, with reasons, is the next thing due for 10/2026 and is where a candidate learns their own form was rejected. Marks came three months after the final result, so BPSSC does publish individual marks, but well after selection. The 10/2026 estimates follow the previous cycle’s dates and are not an announcement, as BPSSC has fixed nothing for 10/2026.

BPSSC FRO 2026 official notice check
Applicants should match the advertisement number before entering details or paying the fee. The commission page and PDF use the same recruitment reference.
| Check | Official value |
|---|---|
| Recruitment reference | Advertisement No. 10/2026 |
| Application route | BPSSC online portal linked from the Forest Department page |
| Closing date | 16.08.2026 |
The advertisement also makes clear that the application is a commission recruitment for the notified Bihar department, not a general forest-job registration. The candidate should use the post name and advertisement number together when checking the form. The PDF gives the age table and application conditions. The live commission page is the place to confirm whether a corrigendum has changed any instruction. Until a written-exam notice appears, an exam date should not be added to the page. The same rule applies to the admit card. This keeps the status useful without presenting an expected date as an official one.
