BPSC Exam Cancellation Demand: Bihar Students Protest, Nitish Kumar Under Pressure

The month of September 2025 witnessed massive protests across Bihar, as thousands of BPSC aspirants came out demanding the cancellation of the recently held exam. Students alleged widespread irregularities, unfair practices, and even claims of a potential paper leak, sparking outrage among the youth preparing for years to crack one of the toughest competitive examinations in the state.

The issue quickly became political, with opposition parties amplifying the demands of the aspirants and targeting the Nitish Kumar government for mismanagement and lack of transparency in the examination process. Many aspirants argued that the exam did not maintain the standards expected of the Bihar Public Service Commission and that the future of lakhs of students had been put at risk due to alleged negligence.

Social media amplified the controversy, with hashtags like #BPSCExamCancellation, #BiharStudentsProtest, and #NitishKumar trending nationally. Videos of students marching, staging sit-ins, and voicing their anger outside commission offices and district headquarters went viral, drawing widespread attention to the matter.

While the government has yet to take a clear stand, the growing movement has placed the BPSC exam cancellation demand at the center of Bihar’s political discourse. For aspirants, this is not just about one exam but about their careers, dignity, and faith in the system.
