BPSC Exam: Why won't the 72nd PT be held on October 25? Bihar Public Service Commission changes the date for the second time..

The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has once again postponed the date for the 72nd Combined Preliminary Examination. This means the exam scheduled for October 25 will not take place as planned. Sources within the BPSC confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that the 72nd Preliminary Exam would not be held on October 25. This change has sparked outrage among many candidates, who point out that the Commission has postponed the date for the second time in three months.

 They question why they are being penalized for this, noting that the exam was previously scheduled for July 26 but was postponed then as well; now, the October 25 date has also been scrapped. They view this as unfair and believe the Commission should not act in this manner. However, some candidates have breathed a sigh of relief at the postponement, as it grants them more time to prepare.

**Why will the exam not be held on October 25?**
According to sources, BPSC Chairman Parmar Ravi Manubhai is on leave from September 15 to October 9. Senior IAS officer Harjot Kaur Bamhrah has been given charge in his absence. The Commission is not fully prepared for the upcoming exam; a review of the preparations will take place after Parmar Ravi Manubhai returns, and a decision regarding the exam will be made only then. Notably, the BPSC has not yet issued a clear statement on the matter, nor has it disclosed the reason for the postponement. However, the Commission has stated that preparations are underway to conduct the 72nd Preliminary Exam as soon as possible, and a new date will be announced shortly.

**How ​​many vacancies will be filled through the BPSC 72nd Exam?**
The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) officially released the notification for the BPSC 72nd CCE on May 5, 2026. A total of 1,230 vacancies were announced with the notification; this figure has now been revised to 1,186. The total number of vacancies has been reduced by 44 from the original count.
