Exam Pattern
The BPSC Preliminary Exam will be for a maximum of 150 marks. Each correct answer will award 1 point. The 70th BPSC Preliminary Exam will be objective, with negative marking where one-third (1/3) mark will be deducted for each incorrect answer.
Ongoing Protests by Candidates
Candidate protests in Bihar, demanding the exam be canceled and reorganized, continue. Protesters state that their agitation will persist until the commission announces the re-conduct of the entire exam. However, the BPSC chairperson has refused to cancel the December 13 exam and has issued show-cause notices to 34 candidates.
