The BPSC exam, for over 2000 posts, landed in controversy the very first day after disruption at one big centre in Patna, the Bapu Exam Centre, due to alleged irregularities, including late distribution of question papers and inadequate numbers supplied. The students sat on hunger strike and later the opposition parties also stepped in, with Jan Suraj leader Prashant Kishor sitting on 14-day hunger strike.

However, the BPSC did not budge and stuck to its stand that it would take re-exam for only one centre, which was eventually held at 22 different centres on January 4. The government also put the ball in the BPSC court to take a call.

On January 19, the commission also uploaded the OMR sheet of the candidates and invited objections/claims of candidates by January 21. And finally the results were published.
