Bihar PSC Exam Chaos: Retest Amid Leak Allegations

The re-exam for the Bihar PSC candidates took place calmly, amid allegations of question paper leaks. Held at 22 centers, it witnessed participation from around 8,200 of the 12,000 candidates. Calls for a complete cancellation of the previous exam continue, garnering political support.

The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) conducted a retest for select candidates after allegations of a question paper leak in the recent examination. The re-exam was held peacefully on Saturday at 22 centers in Patna, amidst continuing demands for a complete cancellation of the earlier examination.

A total of 12,000 candidates had registered for the retest, although approximately 8,200 downloaded their admit cards, according to District Magistrate Chandrashekhar Singh. Security measures were strictly enforced at the test centers, prohibiting unauthorized gatherings.

The controversy surrounding the alleged exam leak continues to escalate, with political entities like Independent MP Pappu Yadav and Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor joining the protests. Kishor is engaging in a fast-unto-death to press for a retest for all initially affected examinees, spotlighting corruption in the recruitment process.
