BPSC 72nd Prelims New Date 2026: Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has postponed the 72nd Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) Preliminary Examination 2026 once again. The exam was earlier scheduled for October 25, 2026, as per the revised BPSC examination calendar.
However, the Commission has now deferred the October 25 examination as well. No new date for the BPSC 72nd CCE Prelims has been announced yet. The official BPSC website currently lists the latest postponement notice for the examination.
Candidates should therefore not consider October 25 as the final examination date. The fresh date will be confirmed only after BPSC releases a subsequent official notification.
The BPSC 72nd CCE Preliminary Examination has been postponed for the second time. The exam was initially scheduled for July 26, 2026, but BPSC postponed it in July due to unavoidable reasons.
Later, the Commission's revised examination calendar dated August 14, 2026 listed October 25, 2026 as the tentative date for the 72nd CCE Prelims. The October date has now also been deferred.

The BPSC 72nd CCE Prelims was first scheduled for July 26, 2026. The Commission subsequently postponed the examination and announced October 25 as the revised tentative date through its August 14 examination calendar.
With the latest postponement, October 25, 2026 is no longer the examination date. Candidates now have to wait for BPSC to announce a fresh schedule.
The Commission has advised candidates to follow its official notifications for the latest information.
For the first postponement, BPSC stated that the examination scheduled for July 26 was deferred due to unavoidable reasons. The Commission did not provide further details at that time.
For the latest postponement of the October 25 examination, candidates should rely on the reason and details mentioned in the latest official BPSC notice rather than information circulating on social media or unofficial websites.

The BPSC 72nd Combined Competitive Examination recruitment is being conducted for 1,189 vacancies across various posts under the Bihar Government. The vacancy figure has been updated through subsequent changes to the recruitment notification.
Candidates who have already applied for the examination do not need to submit a fresh application merely because the Preliminary Examination has been postponed. They should, however, keep checking BPSC notices for any further instructions.
The BPSC 72nd CCE Preliminary admit card will be issued before the rescheduled examination. Since the fresh exam date has not been announced, the final admit card release date is also awaited.
Candidates should download the admit card only after BPSC activates the official link on its website. The admit card will contain important details such as the examination centre, date, timing and candidate instructions.
Candidates should use the additional preparation time to continue their BPSC 72nd CCE preparation instead of waiting for the new date.

Continue revision of the BPSC Prelims syllabus.
Focus on Bihar-specific General Studies and current affairs.
Practice previous-year questions.
Attempt mock tests regularly.
Revise important factual topics.
Keep checking the BPSC official website for the revised examination date.
