The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has issued an official advisory cautioning candidates against misleading claims circulating on social media. The Commission received complaints that some self-styled teachers and coaching institutes are promoting baseless claims suggesting that questions in the BPSC exam align with their model question series.

According to the commission, such claims are entirely false and are intended to mislead candidates for commercial purposes. Similar allegations concerning the previous exam were also investigated and found to be completely untrue. The commission noted that such claims were deemed misleading even in legal proceedings before the Hon’ble High Court.

“Similar fictitious and hollow claims were made regarding questions from previous examinations conducted by the Commission, which were found to be completely false and misleading. Such claims were also found to be entirely unfounded and misleading in cases filed before the Hon’ble High Court,” the press release said.

Random multi-set papers used: BPSC

BPSC emphasised that its exam questions are prepared through a prescribed standard process. Multi-set question papers are generated through the random selection of questions from the official question pool.

As a result, it is not possible for topics, wording, patterns, options, or correct answers of any question to correspond with those in any coaching institute’s model material. Any observed similarity, the Commission clarified, would be purely coincidental.

The commission has urged candidates to remain cautious of such propaganda, avoid speculation about exam content, and focus on preparing for the exams. “Candidates are advised to remain cautious of such propaganda and not be misled by speculations about examination questions. They should prepare for the Commission’s examinations with dedication and honesty,” it said.
