Patna, May 8:The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) conducted the 67th Combined Preliminary Examination on Sunday. However, it is alleged that the 67th Combined Preliminary Examination paper’s question paper was leaked before the exam. Reports suggest that the question papers went viral on Telegram groups minutes before the exam.
Notably, the viral question papers match one of the actual question paper sets, which was distributed on Sunday. Earlier, hundreds of candidates created a ruckus at the Veer Kunwar Singh College examination centre in Arrah over a paper leak allegation. The candidates alleged that few candidates carried mobiles with them in the BPSC 67th prelims exam.
It is being said that the President of Rashtriya Chhatra Ekta Manch, Dilip Kumar, in an e-mail sent to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar about 10 minutes before the commencement of the examination. The President demanded the cancellation of the examination by sharing a copy of the viral question paper.
In this matter, BPSC officials have refused to say anything at the moment. Commission officials have said that a decision in this regard will be taken after the meeting in the evening. Bhojpur DM Roshan Kushwaha reached the centre soon after getting information about the incident.
He further added that all the question papers have been sealed. No exit from the question paper centre has been confirmed. DM said that a written complaint has been sought from the examinees. As mentioned above, Bihar Public Service Commission is yet to announce a final decision.
As per sources, a total of 1083 examination centres were set up in 38 districts of Bihar for the examination. In the capital Patna alone, 55710 students were taking the exam at 83 centres.
