PATNA, October 6 — The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) on Tuesday issued a comprehensive examination notification confirming Sunday, December 13, 2026, as the confirmed schedule for the 70th Integrated Combined Competitive Preliminary Examination (70th CCE Prelims), expediting recruitment across 1,957 premier administrative cadres.
The examination controller stated that the single-shift statewide screening assessment will be administered from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM across approximately 1,100 heavily monitored examination centres established across all 38 districts of Bihar. The milestone recruitment drive will allocate selections into the Bihar Administrative Service (Sub-Divisional Magistrate), Bihar Police Service (Deputy Superintendent of Police), Commercial Tax Officer, and Revenue Service postings, registering over 580,000 enrolled applicants on `bpsc.bih.nic.in`.
To preserve absolute academic integrity, the Commission has mandated digital GPS-locked question consignment boxes, candidate facial biometric authentication at registration gates, and high-frequency RF signal jammers within testing halls. The preliminary paper comprises 150 objective items covering General Studies, Indian Polity, Indian Economy, and Bihar-specific socio-economic geography, evaluated under a strict negative marking penalty of 0.33 marks (one-third) for incorrect selections.
The constitutional status of State Public Service Commissions under Part XIV (Articles 315–323), provincial administrative cadres, and Bihar's historical and economic parameters represent primary assessment pillars in BPSC CCE examinations. Candidates should remember that the Bihar Public Service Commission commenced statutory functioning on April 1, 1949, following separation from the joint Commission of Bihar, Central Provinces, and Berar under the Government of India Act 1935.
