BSSC LDC Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Eligibility
152 topics across 5 subjects. Every question carries a written explanation.
Lower Division Clerk (Nimnvargiya Lipik) is a Level 2 clerical post. BSSC fills it in two ways. Most LDC vacancies go into the Inter Level exam, whose current round 02/23(A) includes LDC posts in many departments and collectorates.
BSSC's most recent standalone LDC recruitment was Advertisement 02/25: 31 LDC and 25 Welfare Organiser posts in the district Sainik Kalyan offices, open only to ex-servicemen registered there. That round is over. The final result of 2 April 2026 selected just 7 LDCs, so 24 posts were left unfilled.
