Patna: Undeterred by the ongoing protests of the aspirants, the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) will hold the re-examination for about 12,000 candidates of one exam centre on Saturday (January 4).
The district administration is making all arrangements for the peaceful conduct of the examination.
The BPSC had cancelled the exam held at Bapu Pariksha Parisar centre at Kumhrar on December 13, 2024, due to the disruptions created by a group of unruly people.

Patna DM Chandrashekhar Singh and SSP Avkash Kumar issued a joint statement on Thursday that the re-exam will be held in a single shift from 12 noon to 2 pm at 22 different exam centres in the city for the aspirants who had taken the exam at the Bapu Pariksha Parisar centre.

During a meeting held here on Thursday, the DM said entry for candidates at the examination centres will begin at 9.30am and no one will be permitted under any circumstances after 11am. “Invigilators will re-check the examinees in the examination room to ensure they do not possess any prohibited items.

The aspirants are prohibited from bringing electronic items such as cellphones, bluetooth, Wi-Fi gadgets, electronic pens, pagers, wristwatches (normal or smart), and items like whiteners, blades, erasers into the examination room. “If these items are found with the examinees, they will face disciplinary action, including cancellation of their candidature and potential disqualification from participating in this and future examinations by the BPSC,” the DM added.
