However, the BSPHCL must only select qualified candidates for these posts. Therefore, it conducts exams to assess the candidates. 

Therefore, the BSPHCL selection criteria are based on exams. Furthermore, the selection procedure is conducted in 2 phases.

Prelims Exam

Firstly, BSPHCL conducts the prelims exam. So, the prelims exam is a Computer-Based Test (CBT). However, the marks earned in the prelims are not for final selection. Thus, the Prelims test is merely a screening test to shortlist candidates for the mains exam. Therefore, the prelims are to qualify the applicants for the main exams.

So, the prelim is a Computer-Based Test (CBT). It is also held for 120 minutes. However, the marks earned during the prelims are not for final selection.

Accordingly, the BSPHCL has also published a syllabus for the various posts on its website. Therefore, each syllabus would vary according to the role. Similarly, the syllabus for the Prelims exam is different from the syllabus of the Mains exam.

Thus, the Prelims test is merely a screening test to shortlist candidates for the mains exam. So, the prelims test is to choose the applicants for the mains exam.

Mains Exam

Secondly, the BSPHCL conducts the mains exam. Also, the Mains exam is a computer-based test. So, the Mains exam is held for 2 hours.

Also, the format for the mains exam is objective and has multiple-choice questions.

Accordingly, the BSPHCL has also published a syllabus for the various posts on its website. Therefore, each syllabus would vary according to the role. Similarly, the syllabus for the mains exam is different from the syllabus of the prelims exam.

However, if the number of candidates is higher, the prelims are conducted in the ratio of 1:20. Thus, candidates who clear the prelims are qualified for the mains exam.

Furthermore, the BSPHCL publishes the merit list on its website. Although, the Merit list is based on the marks obtained in the prelims and mains exam.

However, the final merit list is based on the marks obtained in the mains exams. So, candidates whose names are on the final merit list are qualified for the post. 

Document Verification

Finally, the last stage for the BSPHCL selection is document verification.

Accordingly, the BSPHCL also publishes the Result PDF for the various posts on its web portal. However, the BSPHCL Result PDF only contains the names of selected candidates. Furthermore, the results contain the name of the selected candidates and the marks obtained in the prelims and mains exam.

So, applicants of the various posts can download the BSPHCL Result from the official website.

So, after selected candidates clear the test and are eligible for the posts, they have to submit their documents for verification. 

Thus, document verification is the last stage in the selection of BSPHCL recruitment. It is the essential phase to assess the eligibility of candidates for the BSPHCL. 

Furthermore, BSPHCL appoints a panel to examine the documents provided by the candidates. In case documents are found to be fake, the candidate is not qualified.  

It is, therefore, necessary for the applicants to bring all the documents for verification. 

Thus, the final stage for the selection procedure for the BSPHCL posts is document verification. And, after successful document verification, the candidates are appointed for the posts.

Following are the details for the pattern for prelims and mains exam.
