BPSC Investigates Alleged Malpractice in 70th Combined Preliminary Examination
In another matter, BPSC is taking strict action against candidates involved in alleged malpractice during the BPSC 70th Combined Preliminary Examination. Complaints from candidates at the Bapu Campus Examination Centre suggest the exam was compromised, with allegations of tampering with the exam paper seal, delays in the distribution of question papers, and possible leaks. Some candidates even reported receiving an open question paper.
Investigation and FIR Filed
A few candidates at the centre boycotted the exam, and BPSC has launched an investigation into the incident. An FIR has been filed against 50 to 60 unidentified individuals accused of disrupting the exam.
