The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has issued a stern warning to aspirants following the circulation of a fraudulent recruitment notice on social media platforms. The commission officially clarified that the viral document, which purportedly contains details regarding upcoming examinations, is entirely fabricated and did not originate from their office. This clarification serves as a critical intervention to prevent candidates from being misled by misinformation that has been gaining traction online.
In an official statement released via its verified X (formerly Twitter) account, the BPSC urged candidates to exercise extreme caution and refrain from sharing or believing unverified notices. The commission emphasized that all legitimate communications concerning recruitment, examination schedules, and procedural changes are released exclusively through their official website and authenticated social media channels. By directing candidates to these reliable sources, the BPSC aims to maintain the integrity of its recruitment process and protect aspirants from deceptive content.
The fraudulent notice in question allegedly included incorrect details regarding the 72nd Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) and other examinations tentatively proposed for the 2026 calendar year. The commission explicitly stated that it has not released any such notification, labeling the contents of the viral post as categorically false. The BPSC’s prompt intervention is intended to address the growing confusion among the student community, who have been actively seeking clarity on the status of the ongoing examination cycle.
Regarding the actual status of the 72nd CCE, the commission confirmed that the preliminary examination, which was originally slated for July 26, 2026, was officially postponed on July 18 due to unavoidable circumstances. While the postponement was duly communicated through an official notice issued by the Examination Controller, a revised date for the exam has yet to be finalized or announced. As of now, the BPSC has not provided any further updates, leaving many candidates in a state of uncertainty as they await official word.
The recruitment drive for the 72nd CCE, which began with the official notification on May 6, 2026, seeks to fill 1,230 vacancies. Following the closure of the online application period on May 31, 2026, the commission established a rigorous three-stage selection process comprising a preliminary examination, a main descriptive examination, and a final personality test. Given the scale of the recruitment, the BPSC remains committed to ensuring that the process proceeds according to established protocols, despite the current delays and the challenges posed by external misinformation.
As the situation develops, the BPSC continues to advise registered candidates to remain vigilant and avoid relying on third-party sources for information. The commission reiterated that any updates concerning the rescheduled preliminary examination or other recruitment matters will be published solely on the official BPSC portal. Aspirants are encouraged to monitor these official channels consistently to ensure they receive accurate information and to disregard any messages, links, or notifications that do not originate from the commission’s verified platforms.
