Applying through the Samarth portal involves multiple steps, and candidates are advised to keep all documents ready beforehand. Here’s a simplified walkthrough:

1. Visit the official HED Samarth Recruitment Portal at hedbiharrec.samarth.edu.in.
2. Register using an active mobile number and a valid email ID.
3. Log in and start filling out your personal, academic, and category/reservation details.
4. Enter your academic records starting from Class 10 through your Master’s degree — if your marksheet shows CGPA or grades, convert them to percentage using only your board or university’s official formula.
5. Answer the NET/SET/PhD qualification section accurately and upload the NET exemption certificate if you are claiming an exemption.
6. Upload a recent passport-size photograph, signature, and all other mandatory documents in the specified format and size.
7. Select exactly 10 university preferences in order of priority — remember, duplicate entries are not allowed, and once submitted, preferences cannot be edited.
8. Preview your entire application carefully to check for errors.
9. Submit the form before the deadline of 15 July 2026.
10. Download and keep a printout of your submitted application for future reference.

Remember: applications sent via email, post, or in person will not be accepted under any circumstances. Only the online mode through the Samarth portal is valid.

Selection Process

According to the official notification, selection will be based on a total of 100 marks. Specifically, the weightage is split between academic qualifications and an interview-cum-demonstration round. Furthermore, candidates who clear the eligibility and documentation checks will be called for the interview stage. Finally, the detailed schedule will be updated on the official portal in due course.
