BPSC 70th CCE Exam 2024: The aspirants are continuing their indefinite hunger strike, and demanding a cancellation of the BPSC 70th Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) for all. Initially, the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) cancelled the original exam held on December 13, due to alleged irregularities at the Bapu Pariksha Bhawan in Patna. According to the official schedule, the exam will be conducted on January 4, 2025, for the candidates who took the test at Patna’s Bapu Pariksha Bhavan due to alleged irregularities at the centre.
The video of the hunger strike has come out, wherein a large number of aspirants are participating in this ‘fast-unto-death’ agitation, launched on December 22. The protesters are demanding that the exam be cancelled and reconducted for all candidates and not just one centre, alleging that the malpractices were widespread.
Earlier this month, students studying for BPSC protested against the change in exam patterns and the normalisation process and demanded that exams be held in 'one shift and one paper' to avoid the normalisation process.
