Setback for lakhs of aspirants: BPSC 72nd Preliminary Exam postponed; it was scheduled for October 25, and a notice has been issued..
The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has once again postponed the 72nd Combined Preliminary Competitive Examination. The exam was previously scheduled for October 25, 2026, but will no longer take place on that date. No official announcement regarding a new exam date has been made yet. For now, the most important thing for candidates is to continue their preparations until the new date is announced and to keep an eye out for official notifications from the Commission.
A notice issued by the Commission on October 12 states, "The Integrated 72nd Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination was scheduled to be held on July 26, 2026 (Sunday). The said examination is being postponed due to unavoidable reasons. Information regarding the new date for the examination will be provided later."
The exam was originally scheduled for July 26; what happened?
The 72nd Combined Preliminary Examination was initially proposed for July 26, 2026. The Commission had postponed the exam in July, stating at the time that a new date would be announced later.
Subsequently, October 25, 2026, was set as the date for the exam. The Commission's exam calendar also listed October 25 for the 72nd Combined Competitive Preliminary Examination. Now, the October 25 schedule has also been postponed.
When will the 72nd BPSC Preliminary Examination be held now?
There is currently no official answer to this. The Commission has not announced a new exam date. Therefore, candidates should avoid relying on any unauthorized information or claims circulating on social media.
The next exam date will be considered final only after a new notification is issued on the official BPSC website. The Commission publishes exam dates and other important information on its website.
