Two critical things to watch for this exam: First, negative marking is 0.2 marks per wrong answer in BOTH Prelims and Mains — so do not attempt questions you are unsure about. In the Prelims, you must cross 30% (30 marks) to qualify; scoring below this means automatic disqualification for Mains. Second, in the Mains Paper 2 (Technical), the minimum qualifying marks is 33% — the final merit list is based ONLY on Paper 2 marks, not the language paper. Also: reservation benefits (including 35% women's horizontal reservation) are available ONLY to Bihar state domicile candidates — applicants from other states must apply as Unreserved.
