The Bihar Public Service Commission announced the results of the 67th BPSC prelims on November 17. The aspirants have been protesting since then over the alleged irregularities in the cut-offs. The BPSC on November 26 published another round of results with 15 more students qualifying for the test.
The students earlier protested outside CM Nitish Kumar's residence but when they did not get any response, the protesters reached the BPSC office.
The exam, which was to be held in May this year, was cancelled due to a ‘question paper leak’. The Bihar Lok Seva Aayog announced that it has cancelled the 67th Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination of the Bihar Public Service Commission and the matter is now under investigation. The exam was set to begin at 12 noon on May 8, when the question paper was released online from an exam centre and it went viral online within moments.
Bihar DGP SK Singhal had said that the Economic Offences Unit (EOU) will probe the BPSC question paper leak case. He added that a team of cyber cells operating under ADG, Economic Offence Unit has been formed and has started investigating.
