Notably on Wednesday, upset candidates caused a commotion over the BPSC exam being given in two sessions throughout the day. The establishment of the percentile system and the dual-shift exam were both opposed by the candidates. Thousands of candidates were protested in front of the BPSC office in Patna.
Candidates for the BPSC and the police got into a fight during this. The candidates had been struck with police batons. On this subject, CM Nitish called a significant meeting.
Earlier, BPSC had issued a notice informing that the 67th Prelims exam will be held on two days on 20 September and 22 September 2022. According to the BPSC’s notice, the district was not completely considered for holding the exam in one sitting because of the high number of applicants.
