Students protesting the 70th BPSC examination in Patna demand its cancellation, alleging irregularities in the recruitment process. According to reports, they also call for changes to the Teacher Recruitment Examination and other state recruitment tests. The agitation leads protesters to march toward Raj Bhavan, where they try to push through police barricades despite official warnings.
Another account describes the confrontation as escalating into clashes between protesters and police. Police use water cannons as candidates and students press their demands. While the protesters argue for broader corrective action such as a re-examination or cancellation, coverage also highlights the wider political and public pressure surrounding Bihar’s recruitment examinations. Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav calls for constructive dialogue and transparency across competitive exams, even as the protests continue.
