BPSC Issues Warning Over Fake 72nd CCE Exam Notice

The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has warned candidates about a fake notice linked to the 72nd Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) preliminary exam and the 2026 recruitment calendar.

The notice is being shared on social media and claims to give details about the new exam date. It also says that BPSC will publish its examination calendar on August 7. The commission has denied issuing the notice and called it “fake, misleading and false”.

BPSC says no new exam date has been announced

In a post on its official X account, BPSC said it had not released any such notice. The commission asked candidates and the public not to believe or share unauthorised updates.

The fake notice claims that a meeting of the BPSC chairman, secretary, controller of examinations and other members will decide the schedule for the 72nd CCE preliminary exam. It also says that most major exams may take place after the Chhath festival, while some smaller recruitment exams could be held in October.

However, BPSC has not confirmed these details. Candidates should treat messages that mention a fixed date or an upcoming calendar release with care, especially when the information does not appear on the commission’s official platforms.

Why the notice caused confusion among candidates

The 72nd CCE preliminary exam was set to take place on July 26, 2026. BPSC postponed the exam through a notice issued on July 18, citing unavoidable reasons. The commission has not yet announced a revised date.

Many candidates are waiting for this update to plan their revision, travel and other arrangements. This delay has made social media posts about a possible exam schedule look believable. A notice with official-looking language can spread fast, even when it is not real. The internet, as we know, does not ask for an identity card before sharing a message.

Key details of the BPSC 72nd CCE

• BPSC released the 72nd CCE notification on May 6, 2026.
• The recruitment drive is for 1,230 vacancies in different Bihar government services.
• The application process ran from May 7 to May 31.
• The selection process has three stages: preliminary exam, main exam and personality test or interview.
• The preliminary exam was postponed from July 26, and a fresh date is still awaited.

The preliminary exam is the first stage of the selection process. Candidates who qualify will move to the main exam. Those who clear the main stage will be called for the personality test or interview.

How candidates can check genuine BPSC updates

Candidates should follow a few simple checks before trusting an exam update:

1. Visit the official BPSC website and look for the notice in the latest updates section.
2. Check the verified BPSC account on X for announcements shared by the commission.
3. Read the notice number, date and issue details. Genuine notices usually include these details.
4. Compare the message with information on the official website. Do not rely on screenshots alone.
5. Do not forward messages that claim to reveal an exam date before BPSC confirms it.

A real BPSC update will appear through the commission’s official communication channels. Coaching groups, Telegram channels and WhatsApp messages may help candidates discuss preparation, but they should not be treated as the final source for exam dates.

What candidates should do while waiting

Until BPSC announces the revised 72nd CCE preliminary exam date, candidates can continue with their study plan. They can revise the syllabus, solve previous question papers and take mock tests under time limits.

It is also useful to keep application details, identity documents and recent photographs ready. Candidates should check official updates at set times during the day instead of refreshing social media every few minutes. That approach saves time and keeps exam preparation on track.

For now, the revised date of the BPSC 72nd CCE preliminary exam remains pending. Candidates should wait for a formal notice from BPSC before changing their travel plans or exam schedule.
