Controversy and Re-Exam

The result declaration comes amidst demands for the cancellation of the BPSC 70th PT exam. Candidates alleged irregularities at the Bapu Exam Center in Patna, claiming that the question papers were distributed late and the seals were already broken. Some candidates demanded the exam be canceled due to the alleged paper leak. The commission, instead of a full cancellation, only annulled the exam conducted at the Bapu Exam Center and re-conducted it on January 4th.

A petition was filed in the Patna High Court seeking the cancellation of the entire examination, with the next hearing scheduled for January 31, 2025.

Final Answer Key

The Bihar Public Service Commission released the final answer key for the 70th Combined Preliminary Competitive Examination late last Friday night. The final answer key was released for both the exam conducted on December 13th at 911 examination centers and the re-exam conducted on January 4th at Bapu Exam Center.

The final answer key was prepared after considering the objections raised by the candidates on the provisional answer key. A subject expert committee reviewed the objections, and several questions were deleted from both question papers. The results will be released after removing these questions.
