The exam dates for Preliminary and Main will be announced separately by BPSC. Usually, Prelim happens 2-3 months after the application window closes.

Tip: Complete your OTR registration now itself. Don’t wait until 1 September — the portal will be flooded and you might face technical issues. Get your documents scanned and ready beforehand.
