According to General Administration Department statistics, five of the state’s 12 officers at the rank of Chief Secretary and Additional Chief Secretary hold more than two departments.

There are 78 IAS officers on central deputation out of the total 359 sanctioned vacancies for the Bihar cadre. Six of these positions are for training. There are 48 positions for state deputation, 32 for junior level, and 109 for promotion quota.

Currently, 12 of the 288 officers serving in Bihar are Chief Secretaries, 12 are Principal Secretaries, 33 are Secretaries, and one is a Special Secretary.
