BPSC 72nd CCE 2026 Admit Card – Status & Date

BPSC 72nd CCE 2026 admit card has not been released because the Preliminary examination has now been postponed twice, first from 26.07.2026 and then, by a notice of 12.10.2026, from 25.10.2026. This page records the verified official status, explains what candidates should check next and will show the download steps when BPSC announces the revised schedule.

BPSC 72nd CCE 2026 admit card status

Checked on 13.10.2026. BPSC’s notice of 12.10.2026, signed by the Controller of Examinations, says the prelims fixed for Sunday 25.10.2026 is postponed for unavoidable reasons and a new date will be given later. That is the second postponement of the same paper.

Note: Both notices use the same wording, unavoidable reasons and a new date later, and neither gives the actual reason. The second one came 13 days before the exam and 84 days after the first. The paper was originally due on 26.07.2026, so it is now running about three months late with no date at all. The 1,187 post count from the 03.09.2026 corrigendum is unchanged. The admit card can only come after a fresh date is published.

Note: The corrigendum cuts DSP posts from 22 to 20 and carries the revised category table and the 1,187 total. The 12.10.2026 notice is the latest word on the exam date, and the next revised date will appear on the examination notices page.

After the revised BPSC exam date

The admit card is expected only after the Commission publishes a revised schedule or a related hall-ticket notice. The following points describe the decision path without assuming an unannounced date.

Note: Until the revised date comes, watch the BPSC notice board and candidate portal for a dated notice. Once it is announced, look for the 72nd CCE Preliminary e-admit card notice. When the hall ticket is live, download it from the official login and check your name, roll number, centre and reporting instructions.

Downloading the admit card once released

1. Open the official BPSC candidate portal.
2. Sign in with the credentials used for the 72nd CCE application.
3. Open the admit-card notice shown for the Preliminary examination.
4. Download the PDF and check the personal details, examination centre and reporting time.
5. Save a backup copy and print the instructions shown on the issued hall ticket.

Documents and exam-centre checks

The exact document list will be controlled by the instructions printed on the released admit card. Until then, candidates should prepare the following basic items and verify the final notice before travelling.

Note: On exam day carry a clear printed admit card and the original photo identity document the instructions allow, and match the centre address and reporting time printed on it. Report any mismatch in personal details through the official BPSC route before the exam.

Prelims, General Studies (qualifying only)

The Option E change: BPSC has added a fifth OMR option specifically for “Not Attempted.” Mark it deliberately when skipping a question and there’s no penalty. But leave the row completely blank, with no option marked at all, and it now costs the same 1/3 negative mark as an outright wrong answer. Previous BPSC cycles didn’t penalise blank rows this way. Practically, this means you need to fill in a bubble for every single question on your OMR sheet, either your answer or Option E, with zero rows left untouched.

Prelims covers general studies: current affairs (national and Bihar-specific), Indian history and Bihar’s history, Indian and Bihar geography, Indian polity and economy, general science, and general mental ability.

Mains, Five Papers

General Hindi and the Optional Subject are pass/fail gates. Clear their qualifying cutoff and stop worrying about them. The 900 marks across GS Paper 1, GS Paper 2 and Essay are what actually build your merit rank, together with the Interview.

Interview, 120 Marks

Candidates who clear the Mains cutoff sit a Personality Test worth 120 marks. Combined with GS Paper 1 (300), GS Paper 2 (300) and Essay (300), the interview brings the final merit total to 1,020 marks.

Paper timing and admit card link

The Prelims was set as a two-hour paper from 12:00 noon to 02:00 PM on 26.07.2026 before the first postponement. The 12.10.2026 notice gives no timing, since it only cancels the 25.10.2026 sitting. The admit card will appear on the BPSC Online candidate dashboard once a new date is fixed.

There is no separate admit-card direct link yet. If a download link appears, it should come from the official BPSC Online portal, not from a third-party file server. The BPSC 72nd CCE 2026 admit card page will be updated with the direct hall-ticket link once BPSC releases it.

BPSC 72nd CCE 2026 Latest Update

The vacancy count has changed twice since the advertisement of 05.05.2026. A corrigendum of 06.05.2026 deleted 44 Sugarcane Officer posts, and a second of 03.09.2026 cut the Deputy Superintendent of Police posts from 22 to 20. BPSC now states the total as 1,187 posts. Applications closed on 31.05.2026. The Prelims set for 26.07.2026 were postponed by a notice of 20.07.2026. They were then fixed for 25.10.2026 and postponed again by a notice of 12.10.2026, with no new date as on 13.10.2026. The admit card will appear in the candidate login once a new date is fixed, and that login is in the Important Links section below.

BPSC 72nd CCE 2026 Key Details

Posts left after the corrigenda

A second corrigendum, dated 03.09.2026, revises the Deputy Superintendent of Police vacancies from 22 to 20 at the request of the Bihar Police Service, and states the total for the 72nd CCE as 1,187. The revised 20 split as 10 unreserved, 2 EWS, 1 SC, 1 ST, 5 extremely backward class and 1 backward class, with 6 of them reserved for women (4 unreserved and 2 extremely backward class). The post sits at Level-9 with a minimum age of 20.

The two corrigenda do not add up, and BPSC has not explained the gap. The 06.05.2026 notice prints its own sum, 1,230 minus 44 equals 1,186. Taking the 2 DSP posts off that gives 1,184, yet the 03.09.2026 notice states 1,187. That leaves 3 posts which no notice on the BPSC board accounts for, checked on 26.09.2026. Some sites put them down to added Excise posts, but no BPSC notice says so. Use 1,187, because it is the Commission’s most recent stated total.

The first cut came on 06.05.2026. That corrigendum removed the 44 Sugarcane Officer (ईख पदाधिकारी) vacancies of the Sugarcane Industry Department from Table-1 of the advertisement, because under the Bihar Sugarcane Development Rules those posts carry a different eligibility and a different examination pattern.

Eligibility, qualification and age

Educational qualification: a Bachelor’s degree from a university recognised by the Government of India. Some specific posts require a particular stream or professional qualification, detailed post-wise in the notification.

Age limit (as on 01.08.2025): minimum age is post-specific, generally 21 to 22 years. The maximum age is 37 years for male candidates and 40 years for female candidates, with standard age relaxation for reserved categories under Bihar government rules.

BPSC 72nd CCE Application Fee 2026

Rs. 100 for all categories, General, BC, SC/ST and female Bihar-domicile candidates alike. Applications closed 31.05.2026, so this is reference information at this stage of the cycle.
