The BPSC Exam: The BPSC 70th Combined Examination held at the Bapu Examination Center in Patna has been canceled. It is important to clarify that only the BPSC 70th Examination at the Bapu Examination Center in Patna has been annulled. This is the same center where the Patna District Magistrate had slapped an individual.
It is noteworthy that on Sunday, during the BPSC examination, the Patna police issued an official statement regarding the commotion that occurred at the Bapu Dham Exam Center, indicating that shortly after the examination commenced, approximately 50 to 60 unidentified individuals began to create a disturbance outside the center. This led to disruptions in the examination process.
The police have registered separate cases against the rioters at the Agamkuan police station in Patna under various sections of the law. In fact, the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) conducted the BPSC 70th Combined Competitive Preliminary Examination on December 13, 2024, with around 473,000 candidates participating.
What transpired at the Bapu Dham Exam Center? Outside the exam center, a group of approximately one hundred to one hundred fifty individuals raised serious allegations regarding the integrity of the BPSC examination. Candidates claimed that the seal on the exam paper had been tampered with prior to distribution, that there was a delay of half an hour in distributing the papers, and that the exam paper had been leaked. Following the examination, some candidates emerged in protest, carrying the question paper along with their OMR sheets. In response to the commotion, Patna District Magistrate Dr. Chandrashekhar Singh arrived at the scene to gather information about the situation.
Additionally, it was reported that during this examination, the District Magistrate had slapped a candidate, an incident that quickly went viral. The DM explained that the confusion among candidates arose due to a shortage of question papers in one set, necessitating the retrieval of papers from different exam rooms.
