The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has issued a critical warning to all candidates. Fake and edited OMR sheets for the Integrated 71st Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination (BPSC CCE) are circulating on Telegram. An unofficial group, ‘BPSC Patna’, is distributing these fraudulent documents.
The Commission detected the spread of these deceptive materials. In an official post on X, BPSC identified “anti-social elements” as the creators of the Telegram group. These individuals aim to spread misleading information and confusion among examinees by attaching altered OMR sheets.
BPSC Urges Caution Against Scams
BPSC strongly advises candidates to remain vigilant. They must avoid engagement with fraudulent profiles and false claims encountered online. The Commission explicitly states that all official information regarding BPSC examinations originates from its verified website and official social media handles only. Relying on unverified sources risks exposure to scams and incorrect guidance.
Candidates should bookmark and regularly check the official BPSC website: bpsc.bihar.gov.in . The Commission’s verified X account, @BPSCOffice , also provides authentic updates. These are the sole reliable sources for examination news and directives.
Official Exam Documents Released
The warning follows recent official releases by the BPSC. On October 31 , the Commission published the answer sheets for the Main objective exam. This exam was conducted for the appointment of Lower Division Clerk (LDC) posts. Candidates had a specific window to download their OMR sheets, with access closing on November 8 .
Concurrently, BPSC released the final answer key for the LDC Main exam. This official key confirmed the deletion of five questions from the paper. Candidates also received an opportunity to report any errors found in their downloaded OMR sheets. This complaint window was available before the download deadline expired.
Clarification on Biometric Attendance
In a related development, the Commission previously addressed issues concerning biometric attendance. Some examination centers experienced complications with the biometric process. BPSC clarified that these issues did not negatively impact candidates’ official attendance records.
The physical attendance recorded on a candidate’s admit card remains the primary attendance proof. Biometric attendance served as an additional, supplementary measure for administrative convenience. Therefore, any difficulties with the biometric system did not affect a candidate’s attendance status or their overall exam process.
The BPSC reiterates the importance of consulting official channels for all recruitment exam updates. Misinformation from unofficial sources can cause significant confusion and potential harm to candidates.
