Bihar Assistant Professor (BSUSC) 2026 — University Recruitment Guide
Bihar Assistant Professor (contractual faculty) for the state's 10 universities and government degree colleges is now conducted by the Bihar State University Service Commission (BSUSC) — DISTINCT from BPSC TRE (already covered separately), which is a school-level PRT/TGT/PGT recruitment run by BPSC.
- Conducted by: BSUSC (Bihar State University Service Commission) — NOT BPSC for the current cycle (BPSC ran an earlier 2023 drive)
- Eligibility: Master's 55% (50% SC/ST/BC/EBC/Women/PwD) + NET/CSIR-NET/SLET-SET, PhD-exempt
- Unusual: NO written exam — pure academic-score (88 marks) + interview-cum-demonstration (12 marks) = 100 total
- Confirmed live cycle: notification 3 Jul 2026, 3,687 contractual posts across just 6 subjects (English, History, Hindi, Economics, Political Science, Sociology)
- Contractual posts — pay pegged to entry-level Academic Level 10 basic + DA, without full regular-cadre benefits
3,687 contractual Assistant Professor posts across 6 subjects only (English 674, History 662, Hindi 625, Economics 597, Political Science 596, Sociology 533), notified 3 July 2026, applications 3-15 July 2026. One conflicting source cites 9,152 posts — treat 3,687 as the reliable, cross-corroborated figure.

Ask the Advisor →Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bihar Assistant Professor the same as BPSC TRE?
No. BSUSC (this post) recruits Assistant Professors for universities/degree colleges — higher education, requiring NET/SET/PhD, no written exam. BPSC TRE recruits PRT/TGT/PGT for schools — a completely different level, body, qualification, and selection method (written CBT exam).
Is there a written exam for Bihar Assistant Professor?
No — selection is based purely on an academic score (88 marks, from your PG/graduation marks and research qualifications) plus a 12-mark interview-cum-teaching-demonstration.
Sources
The BSUSC conducting body, 3,687-post 2026 cycle, and the no-written-exam academic-score selection model are well corroborated including a live BSUSC site confirmation. Exact dates beyond the application window are marked "tentative" even by the sources reporting them — verify before publishing. A conflicting 9,152-post figure from one source should be treated as unverified.
