The Bihar Public Service Commission announces the 72nd Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) Prelims 2026 and introduces important changes in the examination pattern. Under the revised rules, candidates must now use the mandatory “E” option for unanswered questions. Failure to follow the instruction attracts negative marking.
According to the commission, candidates who do not attempt a question must mark the “E” option on the OMR sheet. If a question is left blank without selecting this option, the commission imposes a penalty. The new rule aims to improve evaluation accuracy and reduce ambiguity during assessment.
The prelims examination includes objective-type questions covering general studies and current affairs topics. Candidates preparing for the examination are advised to carefully read the updated guidelines before appearing for the test.
