The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has announced that it will conduct a re-test for the students who were allotted the Patna’s Bapu Pariksha Bhavan as the exam centre for the 70th Integrated Combined Competitive Examination. The decision was made after CCTV footage revealed that some miscreants created chaos at the centre, causing issues for other students. The re-exam is expected to take place in the second or third week of January, and strict action will be taken against those involved in the incident.
The popular owners of Patna's coaching centres, Faizal Khan and Motiur Rahman Khan, known as "Khan Sir" and "Guru Rahman," were detained along with other protesters during a demonstration against the Bihar Public Service Commission's use of "normalisation" in their upcoming preliminary test. Normalisation is a controversial process that aims to address variation in difficulty levels of different question papers, potentially disadvantaging deserving students. While the BPSC has not officially announced normalisation for the December 13 exam, protesters are demanding a written assurance that it will not be implemented. Several candidates have raised objections to normalisation in the past, leading to changes in the results after intervention by the Patna High Court.
