The CCE was under intense scrutiny due to allegations of a paper leak. The Bihar government had dismissed the claims, but ordered a re-examination for over 12,000 candidates who took the exam at a centre in Patna. The exam was held across 912 centres across the state.

Protests and controversy over the exam
The 70th BPSC Combined Competitive Examination was intertwined in controversy since December 2024 and intensified in February 2025. Famed Patna educator Khan Sir had joined the protestors demanding the cancellation of the competitive exam.
The protestors, including Khan Sir and other teachers, had demanded the cancellation over the ‘normalisation of marks’.

Normalisation is a process through which marks obtained in exams in two or more shifts are equalised using a statistical formula. Finally, a candidate is given a percentage score based on marks obtained.
A bunch of petitions demanding to cancel and conduct a fresh exam of BPSC’s CCE was also filed before the Patna high court. However, the court in March 2025 dismissed the petitions.
