The strong coupling constant 
is evaluated using the three-point QCD sum rules. The correlation functions used to calculate these strong coupling constants contain contributions of both B
c
V
and B
c
ps
mesons as off-shell states with contributions of two gluon condensates as a radiative corrections. The results, 
GeV−1 for B
c
Ps
off-shell and 
GeV−1 for B
c
V
off-shell are obtained for the relevant strong coupling constants.
