The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has officially released the Final Answer Key. This release is for the 71st Preliminary Examination. Candidates can check and download the key. They must visit the official website, bpsc.bihar.gov.in. The final key is crucial for all examinees.
Five Questions Deleted from Evaluation
The BPSC 71st Prelims Final Answer Key features a significant change. Five questions have been formally deleted. These questions have been excluded from the final evaluation process. Experts anticipate this deletion will not heavily affect the cutoff marks. They note that the marks for deleted questions will be given to everyone. Consequently, the cutoff might increase by a small number of marks.
OMR Sheets Now Available for Download
In addition to the final answer key, the OMR Sheets of candidates are also released. Aspirants can download their Answer Sheets (उत्तर पत्रक). They need to log in to their personal Dashboard. This login is done on the commission’s official website. The download window is open from October 31, 2025 (10:00 AM). It will remain accessible until November 8, 2025.
Candidates must immediately check their OMR Sheets for any errors. If any discrepancy is found, they must register their objection. This can be done via email. The official email ID for objections is examcontroller-bpsc@gov.in. The deadline for raising any objection is strictly November 8, 2025.
Final Deadline for Objections and OMR Download
No objections will be considered after the November 8, 2025 deadline. Furthermore, candidates must download their OMR Sheets before this date. The commission will not provide a photocopy of the OMR Sheet later. Candidates are strongly advised to secure their copy immediately.
