BPSC delays 72nd prelims again, new date not set

UPDATE - follow-up to BPSC 72nd Prelims postponed again: The Bihar Public Service Commission on Monday postponed the 72nd Integrated Combined Preliminary Competitive Examination that was to be held on October 25, 2026, and gave no new date. The exam was originally slated for July 25, 2026, but the commission delayed it then, citing "unavoidable reasons," and announced a revised October slot. That October slot was listed as tentative in the BPSC examination calendar, but it too has now been cancelled. The commission’s official Twitter post on October 12 confirmed the October 25 date was being deferred and said a fresh schedule would be released later. No further details have been provided, leaving thousands of candidates waiting for the next official notification. Aspirants have been advised to check the BPSC website regularly for updates and to follow any additional instructions that may be issued. The repeated changes disrupt study plans and raise uncertainty for those seeking entry into Bihar’s civil services.

Context

Such postponements are rare but highlight the commission’s difficulty in fixing a stable exam timetable, a concern that affects many exam‑preparing students in the state.
