BPSC 70th Prelims Result: Over 1400 Candidates Scored Negative Marks In Exam

BPSC 70th : The BPSC declared results for the 70th BPSC Prelims exam on Thursday amid massive protests across the state over alleged irregularities. Over 1,400 candidates received negative marks in the recently held 70th Integrated Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) 2024, conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC), as reported by PTI.

BSPC Examination Controller Rajesh Kumar Singh told reporters on Friday that, “Out of 3,28, 990 candidates who had appeared in the examination, 21,581 aspirants have cleared the CCE’s preliminary test. While 1,409 candidates scored negative marks, only one candidate could score a maximum of 120 marks out of 150. There are a total of 1,181 candidates who scored more than 100 marks, and 6,344 scored between 90 to 100 marks,” PTI reported.

Singh slammed those who alleged that questions were easy in the 70th CCE exam and said, “For example…1,70,485 candidates gave wrong answer that MLA, Shreyasi Singh, the first sitting legislator to represent India at the Olympics in 2024, represents which constituency. She represents the Jamui assembly seat.”

Around 50,503 candidates gave the wrong answer to the question that ‘Takhat Sri Harimandir Ji Patna Sahib’ is located in which city in the state, he said.

Similarly, 1,49,973 candidates incorrectly answered the question about which city or place would be developed under the Vishnupad Temple corridor scheme, with the correct answer being Gaya. Despite the simplicity of the question, a significant number of students got it wrong. Under the current rules, candidates lose one mark for every three incorrect answers.

He also mentioned that despite a petition filed by some candidates before the Patna High Court seeking the cancellation of the December 13 exam, three of the petitioners have successfully cleared the exam.

The CCE conducted by the BPSC on December 13 has faced controversy over allegations of a question paper leak. As a result, a retest was ordered for more than 12,000 candidates who had appeared at a centre in Patna.
