BTSC Instructor Recruitment 2026 for 726 Posts: Apply Online

BTSC Instructor Recruitment 2026 Overview

BTSC has invited online applications for 726 posts through multiple trade-specific advertisements issued in April 2026. The recruitment covers instructor posts in Surveyor, Machinist, Automobile Engineering or Mechanics, Leather Technology, Welder, Mechanic Tractor, Agriculture and Machinery, Fitter, Electronics Mechanic or Mechanic Radio and TV, and Electrician or Wireman trades.

The recruitment is primarily for the Science, Technology and Technical Education Department, Bihar. Advertisement No. 23/2026 also includes Electrician posts under the Public Health Engineering Department. Because the notifications are split across separate advertisements, candidates should read the trade-specific advertisement carefully before applying.

The online application process is common in structure, but qualification and minimum age may vary slightly by post. For most instructor posts, the minimum age is 18 years as on 01 August 2026, while the Electrician post under Advertisement No. 23/2026 carries a higher minimum age requirement.

Important Dates

Candidates should not wait until the last day because the application is accepted online only. BTSC has also stated that details such as further notices, admit card, and later stages will be published on its website.

Trade-wise Vacancy Details

The combined vacancy count is 726 posts across Advertisement Nos. 14/2026 to 23/2026. The trade-wise breakup is as follows.

Advertisement No. 23/2026 is broader than the others because it includes Instructor (Electrician or Wireman) posts along with a small number of Electrician posts under another department. That is why this advertisement has the highest vacancy count.

Eligibility Criteria and Qualification

The essential qualification is trade-specific and candidates must match the advertised trade exactly. For most instructor posts, the notification requires an ITI qualification of one or two years in the relevant trade from an institution recognized by NCVT or SCVT.

• Surveyor: ITI in Surveyor trade
• Machinist: ITI in Machinist trade
• Automobile Engineering or Mechanics: ITI in the relevant automobile or mechanics trade
• Leather Technology: ITI in Leather Technology trade
• Welder: ITI in Welder trade
• Mechanic Tractor: ITI in Mechanic Tractor trade
• Agriculture and Machinery: ITI in Agriculture and Machinery trade
• Fitter: ITI in Fitter trade
• Electronics Mechanic or Mechanic Radio and TV: ITI in the relevant electronics trade
• Electrician or Wireman: ITI in Electrician or Wireman trade

For the Electrician post included in Advertisement No. 23/2026, the notification shows a separate eligibility route that includes matriculation and ITI in Electrician or Wireman trade. Candidates should therefore rely on the exact advertisement of the post they are applying for and not assume that one qualification rule applies to all 726 posts.

Age Limit and Relaxation

The age is calculated as on 01 August 2026. For most instructor posts under Advertisement Nos. 14/2026 to 22/2026, the minimum age is 18 years. For the Electrician post covered in Advertisement No. 23/2026, the minimum age shown in the notification is 21 years.

The notifications also provide age relaxation in certain cases, including relaxation for persons with disabilities and some categories of serving government employees as per Bihar government rules. Reservation benefits are linked to valid category and domicile claims, so candidates should upload the correct supporting certificates while applying.

Application Fee and Salary

The application fee mentioned in the advertisement is Rs. 100 per candidate. The fee has to be paid online only through the prescribed digital payment modes. Bank or payment gateway charges, if any, are extra and have to be borne by the applicant.

For the instructor posts, the pay level mentioned in the notifications is Level 6 with entry pay of Rs. 35,400. Advertisement No. 23/2026 also includes an Electrician post under the Public Health Engineering Department, and that post carries Level 2 pay as per the notification.

Applicants should keep the fee receipt safely after successful payment. Mere registration or fee payment does not by itself complete the application unless all required details and documents are properly submitted online.

Selection Process and Exam Pattern

BTSC has stated that selection will be based on a written competitive examination conducted in computer based test mode and work experience weightage, followed by document verification of qualified candidates.

The notifications specify the following CBT pattern.

• Total questions: 100
• Question type: Objective multiple choice
• Exam duration: 2 hours
• Total marks: 100
• Languages: Hindi and English
• Negative marking: 0.25 mark for each wrong answer

The commission has also indicated that the merit will be prepared after applying normalization if the examination is conducted in more than one shift. Minimum qualifying marks have been prescribed category-wise, and only candidates meeting the required standard will move ahead to the next stage.

Syllabus, Admit Card and Result Updates

The advertisement confirms the exam pattern, but it also states that the detailed departmental syllabus will be published separately on the commission website. Candidates should therefore keep checking the BTSC syllabus and recruitment sections for the trade-specific syllabus notice.

Admit card, CBT schedule, result, and document verification notices have not been announced yet for this recruitment. These updates are expected to be published on the official BTSC website and the designated application portal after the application process closes.

Because this recruitment is split across multiple advertisement numbers, candidates should follow only the official BTSC pages for updates rather than relying on outdated summaries or mixed trade information from third-party sources.
