Verification basis — read this first
The official BSSC Notice Board (bssc.bihar.gov.in/NoticeBoard.htm) lists as its top entry, dated 09-11-2026, the notice "Important Notice regarding Exam date for Adv. No.- 07/25, Post- Stenographer/Steno Typist Grade - III" (Memo No. 4900) — so the notice itself is confirmed to exist on the official site. The notice PDF itself could not be opened from here (the BSSC site returns empty replies), so the exam date, the two shifts, the online CBT mode and the memo number rest on unanimous secondary transcription — FreeJobAlert, JagranJosh, SarkariJobers and ResultDekho all agree on every figure. The details below are presented on that basis; check the official notice once the PDF is accessible.
