BPSC 72nd Prelims Postponed Again; Revised Examination Date Yet to Be Announced

BPSC Postpones 72nd Preliminary Examination

The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has postponed the 72nd Combined Preliminary Competitive Examination, which was scheduled to take place on October 25, 2026.

According to The Indian Express, the commission announced the postponement on Monday, October 12. A revised examination date has not yet been announced.

The decision means candidates preparing for the competitive examination will have to wait for further instructions from the commission regarding the new schedule.

Examination Was Previously Postponed

The 72nd BPSC Preliminary Examination had already undergone a scheduling change. It was initially scheduled for July 25, 2026, but was postponed by the commission, citing unavoidable reasons.

A subsequent schedule indicated that the examination would be held on July 26, 2026. The examination was later scheduled for October 25 before being postponed again.

Candidates should refer to official BPSC notifications to confirm the latest examination schedule and any further changes.

What Should Candidates Do Next?

Candidates preparing for the 72nd BPSC examination should:

• Check the official BPSC website regularly for the revised examination date.

• Monitor official announcements regarding admit cards and examination centres.

• Keep registration details and application information readily available.

• Continue their preparation while waiting for the updated schedule.

• Rely on official commission notifications rather than unverified social media posts.

Background: BPSC 70th Combined Competitive Examination

The report also highlights the results of the 70th BPSC Combined Competitive Examination. The commission selected 2,027 candidates following the interview stage, according to the figures cited in the report.

The examination process involved recruitment to posts across various Bihar government departments. The preliminary examination was conducted in December 2024, with a re-examination held at designated centres in Patna in January 2025 following reports of irregularities at the Bapu Examination Complex.

The 70th examination provides background on the commission's recruitment process, while the immediate concern for candidates is the revised schedule for the 72nd preliminary examination.

Revised BPSC 72nd Prelims Date

As of the report updated on October 13, 2026, the BPSC had not announced a new date for the 72nd Preliminary Examination.

Candidates should consult the commission's official website for confirmed updates before making travel or examination-related arrangements.
