The Central Selection Board of Constable (CSBC), Bihar has released the schedule for the Motor Vehicle Driving Efficiency Test (DET) and Document Verification for Driver Constable recruitment under Advertisement No. 02/2025, through an official notice dated 31 July 2026 (Reference No. 33/CSBC(Notice)). Of the 15,516 candidates called for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), 11,847 candidates qualified and are now called for the DET. The DET starts 24 August 2026, with admit cards available for download from csbc.bihar.gov.in from 10 August 2026 (00:00 hrs / midnight). The DET covers Car, Jeep and Bus/Truck driving tests. Critically, Document Verification is conducted on the same day as the DET – candidates must bring all original documents along with self-attested photocopies on that day itself.
Important Note: Four points from the official CSBC notice require immediate attention. First, Document Verification is on the SAME DAY as the DET – this is not a separate stage. Candidates must carry all required original documents on 24 August 2026 itself. No separate opportunity for DV will be given. Second, attendance on the allotted DET date is mandatory – candidates absent for any reason (family, personal, medical, fracture, pregnancy, etc.) will be treated as ineligible and no second chance will be given. No request for time extension will be entertained under any circumstances. Third, candidates who cannot download their admit card online can collect a duplicate admit card from the CSBC office at Hardinge Road, Patna-800001 on 21 and 22 August 2026 (10:00 AM to 5:00 PM) at their own expense. Fourth, no entry is permitted at the DET venue without the admit card under any circumstances.
