Overview
- The Bihar Public Service Commission announced on Thursday that it has put the Assistant Engineer (Civil, Mechanical and Electrical) result declaration for Advertisement Nos. 29/2025–31/2025 on hold.
- The hold follows a Patna High Court order dated March 23, 2026 that stayed the notification in Memo No. 2079(S) and bars the commission from publishing results until the court lifts the stay.
- Petitioners challenge the March 9, 2026 memo on the ground that it sought to alter the Bihar Engineering Services Class‑II Appointment (Amendment) Rules, 2022 through a departmental notification rather than through formal rulemaking.
- BPSC has told candidates to ignore rumours, to rely only on official updates, and said results will be published once the statutory and judicial processes conclude.
- The pause delays recruitment for Class‑II Assistant Engineer posts across Bihar’s civil, mechanical and electrical streams and could push back department hiring and project staffing until the legal dispute is resolved.
