This role is ideal for Indian citizens, including males, females, and third-gender applicants, who possess a Bachelor's degree in relevant science, agriculture, forestry, or engineering disciplines.

Aspiring individuals seeking a permanent Group B state government position within Bihar's Environment, Forest and Climate Change Department, with a competitive pay scale and comprehensive selection process, will find this opportunity suitable.

Individuals who do not meet the specified educational qualifications (Bachelor's degree in the prescribed fields) or fail to clear the physical measurement and endurance tests (especially the 25 km/14 km walking test within 4 hours for males/females respectively) should not apply. Those outside the age limits of 21-37 (General Male), 21-40 (Female/BC/EBC), or 21-42 (SC/ST) as of August 01, 2025, are also ineligible.
