BPSC PROTEST: Amid a heavy protest in Patna, the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) made it clear that the preliminary exam held on December 13 will not be cancelled over the allegations of question paper leak. However, the aspirants claimed that the Commission did not listen to their complaints, and they will continue the protest until their demands are fulfilled.
BPSC Examination Controller Rajesh Kumar Singh on Friday clarified that only selected aspirants will be given the opportunity to appear in the exam because their exam was disturbed by a group of "unruly aspirants". "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," Singh stated.
