BPSC 70th Final Result Declared: Shraddha Pandey Tops, 2,027 Selected

The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) announced the final results of the 70th Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) on [date not specified], concluding a recruitment process that faced delays and controversies. The merit list was released in Patna by BPSC Chairman Ravi Manubhai Parmar, bringing relief to thousands of aspirants who had been waiting for months.

Shraddha Pandey from Uttar Pradesh secured the top rank with 593 marks. Shashank Gaurav and Ayush Bijoy tied for second and third places with 592 marks each. According to the final result, 2,027 candidates have been selected against the advertised 2,035 vacancies, leaving eight positions unfilled. The selection ratio reflects the rigorous evaluation process.

The 70th BPSC examination was one of the largest recruitment drives undertaken by the commission. The interview stage included approximately 5,401 candidates, significantly higher than in previous years. The process faced initial disruptions after the preliminary exam on December 13, 2024, at the Bapu Examination Complex in Patna was cancelled due to candidate protests and allegations of irregularities. A re-examination for affected candidates was conducted on January 4, 2025, with over 12,000 admit cards issued, though only about 5,900 candidates appeared.

The controversy led to prolonged protests by aspirants demanding a complete cancellation of the examination. The commission maintained that the process was conducted fairly. After verification and interviews, the final results were released. Selected candidates will now proceed with the appointment process for various state government posts under the Bihar administration.
