According to reports student protestors have been demanding the cancellation of the Integrated Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination (CCE) 2024 conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) BPSC Examination Controller Rajesh Kumar Singh told ANI, “The protests (by BPSC aspirants demanding re-examination) were started by non-serious candidates… Since the examination was cancelled (of one centre), we had to take their re-exam anyway and we were trying to get it done immediately. By 10:30 am today, 8,111 aspirants downloaded the admit card out of 12,012 registrations. 5,840 aspirants have appeared for the exams already. We hope this number reaches 6200-6300.” BPSC Examination Controller further added, “We installed CCTV cameras in 912 centres. Only the Bapu Examination Centre had installed its own cameras and feedback monitoring system. We are trying to release the results of BPSC prelims between 25-30 January and conduct the mains by April.” Jan Suraaj Chief Prashant Kishore told ANI, “We met Bihar Chief Secretary, we thank him for taking out time and meeting us and the students but he didn’t make any decision. Maybe he needs to ponder.” He added, “maybe he needs clearance from the CM. We have put forward our matter.” “We have decided to give the government 48 hours, two days. Today CM is not in Patna. He will be back tonight. If govt wants, within 48 hours, can come up with a solution. If CM invites us, we and all these students will meet him. But if there is no action within 48 hours. Whatever decision the students will make regarding protest, it will be valid.” Thousands of Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) aspirants continued their protest at Gandhi Maidan in Patna demanding a re-examination of the 70th BPSC preliminary exams.
