Patna, Feb 18 (NationPress) Amid renewed protests regarding the 70th BPSC Preliminary Examination in Patna on Monday, the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has responded by accusing certain coaching institutions of misleading students via social media.
The BPSC has urged candidates to resist falling for propaganda and instead concentrate on preparing for the upcoming main examination.
The commission has claimed that some coaching centers are instigating the unrest to serve their own interests.
In spite of the protests, the BPSC has already announced the results of the prelims, and preparations for the mains exam are currently in progress.
A faction of protesting candidates, supported by prominent coaching educators like Khan Sir and Guru Rahman, is advocating for a re-examination of the preliminary test.
Khan Sir asserts that he possesses credible evidence of exam irregularities, which he intends to present before the Patna High Court during the ongoing hearings.
As protests persist regarding the 70th BPSC Preliminary Examination, the BPSC has categorically refuted claims of question paper alterations and theft at examination centers.
According to the BPSC, certain coaching operators are reportedly disseminating falsehoods through interviews on social media, alleging that question papers were modified during the exam at various centers, particularly in Khagaria and Bhagalpur.
There are also accusations that question papers were stolen or went missing from the treasuries in Nawada and Gaya districts. The commission has fully rejected these claims, branding them as groundless and deceptive.
It has accused certain parties of attempting to mislead candidates with false assertions since the onset of the exam process. The BPSC has urged aspirants to disregard social media gossip and depend solely on official communications from the commission’s website.
Despite the BPSC’s denials, protesters led by Khan Sir and other coaching instructors persist in their calls for a re-examination, citing exam rigging and irregularities.
The issue is presently under scrutiny in the Patna High Court.
