The BPSC 70th CCE preliminary re-exam was scheduled for January 4, 2025, for candidates assigned to the cancelled Bapu Parisar (Bapu Examination Complex) centre in Patna—not for every candidate. That date has passed: BPSC’s exam calendar, dated August 14, 2026, records the prelims dates as December 13, 2024, and January 4, 2025, and lists the final result as published June 20, 2026.

The original preliminary exam was held on December 13, 2024. The January 4, 2025, sitting was the replacement for the cancelled examination at the affected centre. BPSC decided on the date after a full-bench meeting on December 19, 2024. BPSC exam calendar Scroll.in report
Why was the Bapu Parisar sitting cancelled?
Contemporaneous reports described claims of question-paper seal tampering and allegations of a paper leak as the context for the cancellation. Those reports do not establish that a leak was proven, so it should be described as an allegation rather than a confirmed finding. Scroll.in report Business Standard report
