The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has cautioned candidates against believing a fake notification related to the 72nd Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) 2026 that has been circulating on social media and various online platforms. The commission has categorically stated that the viral examination schedule is false, misleading, and does not originate from the official BPSC.
In its public advisory, the commission urged candidates to disregard the fake notice and avoid sharing unverified information. BPSC emphasized that all official announcements regarding recruitment examinations, application dates, examination schedules, admit cards, results, and other recruitment related updates are published only through its official website and verified social media handles.
The commission noted that the circulation of false examination notices can create unnecessary confusion and anxiety among candidates preparing for competitive examinations. It advised aspirants to verify every recruitment related announcement before acting upon it and to avoid relying on unofficial websites, social media posts, messaging applications, or unverified online sources.
The 72nd Combined Competitive Examination is expected to attract a large number of applicants from across Bihar and other parts of the country. As one of the state's most important recruitment examinations, any misinformation regarding examination dates or application schedules can significantly affect candidates preparing for the selection process.
BPSC conducts the Combined Competitive Examination to recruit candidates for various administrative and civil service positions under the Government of Bihar. The recruitment process generally consists of multiple stages, including a preliminary examination, the main written examination, and a personality test or interview, depending on the applicable recruitment rules.
The commission has reiterated that no examination schedule should be considered authentic unless it is officially published by BPSC. Candidates are encouraged to regularly visit the official BPSC website to receive accurate and updated information regarding notifications, examination calendars, eligibility criteria, application procedures, and recruitment announcements.
Officials also advised candidates to exercise caution while accessing recruitment information online. Fake notices often imitate the format and appearance of genuine government notifications, making them appear authentic. Candidates should carefully verify the source before accepting or forwarding such documents.
Education experts recommend that aspirants preparing for competitive examinations maintain a habit of checking only official government portals for important announcements. Depending on unofficial sources may result in missed deadlines, incorrect preparation schedules, or unnecessary confusion during the recruitment process.
The Bihar Public Service Commission has consistently taken steps to ensure transparency in its recruitment activities and frequently issues clarifications whenever false information begins circulating in the public domain. Such advisories are intended to protect candidates from misinformation and maintain confidence in the examination process.
Candidates awaiting the official notification for the 72nd Combined Competitive Examination 2026 should continue their preparation and monitor only the official communication channels of the commission. Any future announcements regarding the examination schedule, application process, or recruitment timeline will be published through BPSC's authorised platforms.
