The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has officially released the final results for the 70th combined competitive examination. Shraddha Pandey secured the top position with 593 marks, followed by Shashank Gaurav in second place and Ayush Bijoy in third.
Record Number of Vacancies in 70th Exam
BPSC chairman Parmar Ravi Manubhai stated that this edition featured the highest number of vacancies ever notified by the commission. Out of 2,035 advertised posts, 2,027 candidates were successfully selected. However, eight positions reserved for the disabled quota remained unfilled due to a lack of eligible candidates.
Selected Candidates to Fill Key Government Roles
The successful candidates will be appointed to various prestigious state government positions, including sub-divisional magistrate (SDM), deputy superintendent of police (DSP), tax officer, and state tax officer, among other administrative roles.
Addressing Concerns Over Process Delays
Responding to concerns about the duration of the recruitment process, Parmar explained that the scale of the 70th exam was significantly larger than previous cycles. The 68th exam had only 324 vacancies with 817 interviewees, and the 69th exam featured 475 vacancies with 1,252 candidates interviewed. In contrast, the 70th exam involved 2,035 vacancies and approximately 5,450 interviewees, which naturally extended the timeline.
Timeline of the Recruitment Process
The recruitment process commenced with the preliminary examination on December 13, 2024. The main examination was conducted in April 2025, followed by interviews held from January to April 2026. The final results were declared on Saturday, marking the culmination of a lengthy selection procedure.
