Supreme Court Clears Path for BPSC Mains Exam on April 25

The court dismissed petitions citing alleged paper leaks, stating insufficient evidence for a full retest after December’s preliminary exam.

Petitioners argued that digital evidence, including WhatsApp messages and video clips, demonstrated that question papers were leaked before the exam.

Overview

  • The Supreme Court rejected pleas to stay the 70th Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) Mains exam scheduled for April 25, 2025.
  • A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Manmohan found no conclusive evidence to justify a complete retest of the December 13, 2024, preliminary exam.
  • Petitioners alleged question paper leaks supported by digital evidence, including WhatsApp messages and videos, but the court deemed it insufficient to prove widespread malpractice.
  • The Patna High Court previously upheld the mains exam schedule, dismissing similar claims of irregularities across multiple centers.
  • BPSC conducted a limited re-exam on January 4, 2025, at 22 centers for select candidates, with nearly half of eligible candidates appearing.
