Unfazed by mounting pressure, the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) on Friday made it clear that the 70th Integrated Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination (CCE) 2024 held on December 13 across the state will not be cancelled over allegations of question paper leak.
Speaking to reporters here, BPSC Examination Controller Rajesh Kumar Singh said, "There is no question of cancelling the entire BPSC exam held on December 13.
The BPSC decided to cancel the preliminary examination held at Bapu Pariksha Parisar centre only due to disruption created by a group of unruly aspirants as part of the conspiracy to disrupt the exam.
The re-examination will be held on January 4 at some other centre in the city."
"We have information that a group of private coaching institutes are instigating aspirants... and they are mobilising students to raise the demand for the cancellation of the entire exam.
The commission has cancelled the BPSC 70th prelims 2024 exam held at Patna’s Bapu Pariksha Bhavan.
While the decision comes after the reports of the centre superintendent and the investigation report of the district administration, the commission has not confirmed the new exam date. It should be mentioned that fresh exam dates will be announced in due course.
While candidates have been advised to keep checking the official website of BPSC for latest updates, the commission is committed to ensuring the future of the 5 lakh examinees and will take all necessary steps to maintain the integrity of the examination.
