The controversy surrounding the BPSC exam emerged on December 13, when candidates at the Bapu Examination Centre boycotted the BPSC Preliminary Test due to delays in the distribution of question papers. Videos showcasing mobile phone usage and inadequate security during the exam further fueled the protests.
The BPSC subsequently canceled the examination at the Bapu Centre, rescheduling it for January 4, which was conducted successfully. Nevertheless, candidates demanded a complete cancellation of the exam and continue their protest at Gardanibagh.
