BPSC 53rd -55th Examination Update, Paper Checking, Number of Vacancy, Result, Scaling Information



Patna, Aug, 23: The 53rd to 55th BPSC Combined Civil services Examination to recruit at 741 premier posts under various offices of state government were successfully conducted between May 26 to June 14 at various centers at Patna.

About 15000 candidates were participated in the Mains examination amongst them 2000 candidates will be invited for the interview because according to circular of BPSC 2.5 times candidates against the number of are declared successful for the final stage.

The numbers can go higher in case if few candidates have same marks on cut off line and further vacancy get added into the recruitment list as it happened in 48th 52nd BPSC examination when 19 education services vacancy was added even after declaration of mains result.

Paper Checking Process: BPSC forging ahead with its plans to check the papers as soon as possible given the size of the examination about 105000 papers to be checked before result will be declared .It is a mammoth task before BPSC to effectively execute their plans in timely manner.

As per latest information available General Studies and Hindi Compulsory Papers has been checked and Optional are getting evaluated at brisk pace.

The result will be declared one month after completion of paper evaluation because decoding and preparation of merit lists preparation is a time consuming process.

Given the trend of the previous year when 48th 52nd Mains Examination was held in May -June and result was declared in February taken total seven month.

It was learned that Candidates positively expect the result in November -December 2012 because this time BPSC looking to finished the process at faster speed because government has indicated that that before general election of 2014 56th to 57th BPSC will be finalized.

Patna High Court also asked the clarification from the commission that why BPSC is conducting multiple batches together, however BPSC filed their reply by saying that it was the Government decision which was approved by Bihar Cabinet.

Cut Off For The 53rd 55th Mains examination: The past trend of BPSC suggest the cutoff to land between 725 to 750 but given the current condition backed by record number of vacancy (741), Clash of BPSC and JPSC mains examination schedule, busy season of UPSC -CSAT, UPPSC PT, RAS PT and Decision of BPSC to tame the abnormal marking pattern in some selected subject under the lights of Patna High Court Query will have their strong say in cutoff.

Considering the previous trend and current situation cut off could land below 700 marks.

Scaling Matter: The buzz is rumoring that the BPSC will adapt scaling system to tame the abnormally higher marks in the certain optional paper however it is not possible because BPSC conducts examination through a well laid circular any change in the process of examination needs change in the current circular so it is obvious that scaling is not in the reality.

But given the interest of Patna High Court eye in abnormal marking matter BPSC certainly mulling to get rid of this issue by directing the examiners to take while evaluating certain optional.
