BPSC aspirants meet Bihar BJP President over alleged irregularities in 70th Exam

A delegation of Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) aspirants met Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal on Sunday to express their concerns regarding alleged irregularities in the 70th Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination, which was held on December 13, 2024. The group raised serious allegations about the examination's conduct, including significant delays in the distribution of question papers and what they described as a lack of professionalism on the part of the BPSC.

The aspirants are demanding a re-examination, claiming that these issues affected the fairness and integrity of the process. They have warned that they will stage protests if their grievances are not addressed within the next two days, urging for an immediate and transparent investigation into the matter. The group insists that the irregularities have compromised their chances of success in the examination.

In response to the aspirants’ concerns, BJP President Dilip Jaiswal assured the group that he had taken note of their issues and would ensure their concerns were raised appropriately. However, he advised the aspirants against politicizing the matter, emphasizing that the issue should be resolved through dialogue and proper investigation. Jaiswal suggested that the BPSC carefully evaluate the situation and make a fair and informed decision, considering the importance of maintaining the credibility of the examination process.

This meeting follows a protest by aspirants on December 18, where they alleged a paper leak had occurred. The BPSC quickly dismissed the paper leak claims, labeling them as “fake news” and asserting that no such issue had occurred. However, the controversy surrounding the exam continues to simmer, with many aspirants dissatisfied with the BPSC’s handling of the situation.

The 70th BPSC exam is a key examination for selecting officers for Group A and B positions in the state government, making it a highly anticipated event for thousands of candidates. With such high stakes, the irregularities raised by the aspirants have put the credibility of the examination process under scrutiny. The BPSC has yet to make an official statement regarding the demands for a re-examination or whether any corrective actions will be taken.

As the deadline for a resolution draws near, the aspirants continue to hope for a fair resolution, while the BPSC is under increasing pressure to address the concerns raised by the candidates.
