With prelims (December 2024), mains (April 2025) and interviews (January–February 2026) all completed, aspirants expected the final merit list in April or May 2026 as listed on the BPSC exam calendar published on 2 February 2026.
- The interview process concluded by end of February 2026, yet no official result notification has been uploaded on bpsc.bihar.gov.in.
- Candidates note the full cycle has stretched over 18 months since the preliminary examination.
- Aspirants on social media (hashtags #Declare70thBPSCResult and #BPSCCalendarFailure) are seeking clarity from the commission.
- BPSC has not released a public statement explaining the delay or announcing a new result date.
- Monitor bpsc.bihar.gov.in and the Exam Calendar page for the official PDF merit list — do not rely on unverified WhatsApp forwards.
