BPSC Says Viral 72nd CCE Exam Notice Is Fake

The Story in Brief

The Bihar Public Service Commission has rejected a notice circulating on social media about the 72nd Integrated Combined Preliminary Competitive Examination 2026, calling it fake, misleading and untrue. In a post on its official X account, the commission asked candidates to trust updates on its website and verified social media platforms.

The preliminary exam was scheduled for July 26, 2026, but BPSC postponed it on July 18, citing unavoidable circumstances. It has not announced a fresh date. The exam has 150 objective questions, lasts two hours and carries one-third negative marking for wrong answers. The recruitment drive covers 1,230 vacancies.

The Indian Opinion

The lazy reading is that every notice shared online must be genuine, while the opposite extreme treats the postponement as proof of administrative failure. Neither follows from the available facts. BPSC has issued a clear correction, but candidates still lack a replacement date. The practical test is simple: any schedule that does not appear on the commission’s official website should be ignored until BPSC confirms it.
