This increase isn’t just a numbers game; it means actual extra seats at the coveted state service posts table. The new 14 DSP spots reflect growing recruitment needs in Bihar’s police services and signal the government’s intent to strengthen law enforcement staff in the state. For anyone chasing a dynamic administrative or law enforcement career, this is a golden window.
