Bihar is soon going to receive a batch of 25 new IAS officers in its kitty, which include 11 directly recruited and 14 promoted to the IAS from the Bihar Administrative Service (BAS). With this induction, the number of IAS officers holding positions in the state will increase from 280 to 305, besides 30 IAS officers currently on the central deputation. The sanctioned posts for IAS officers in the state are 359. It means Bihar still has a shortage of 24 IAS officers.
The IAS officers joining directly in April 2026 and those promoted between May and June 2026 will be posted in the state. This will provide some relief to the overburdened bureaucrats in Bihar and accelerate development work.
According to reliable information, four of these directly recruited IAS officers are natives of Bihar, two of Rajasthan, and one each of Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh. Having passed the UPSC exam in 2025, these officers are currently undergoing training at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LASANA). They will be deployed after completion of their training.
These officers include Rajkrishna Jha, Kumud Mishra, Prince Raj, and Deepak Kumar from Bihar, Saurabh Sinha from Dumka, Jharkhand, Farkhunda Qureshi from Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh, Ketan Shukla from Uttarakhand, Nilesh Goyal from Rajasthan, Amit Meena from Rajasthan, and Ankur Tripathi from Amethi, Uttar Pradesh. Their tenures will be from 2056 to 2061.
These officers are supposed to begin their service in Bihar until April 17th. Afterward, they will be deployed by the state government to various positions in the districts, where they will work under the guidance and direction of senior officers.
