It’s January 3rd. Today marks the 15th day since the students who appeared for the 70th Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination, held in December of last year started protesting. The protests originated from the Bapu Pariksha Parisar in Patna, where students alleged that gross irregularities were not present during the conduct of the exam.

BPSC did announce a retest for all the students who appeared at the centre above, however protesting students are demanding that the test be conducted once again and the earlier results be cancelled. Conducting the exam is no small feat – mind you, 3.28 lakh students appeared for the test in December, and some of these do not want to appear for the test again. They are in fact writing to the BPSC Chairman and asking that the exam not be reconducted for all. However, the protests are continuing and becoming more serious. Today, Independent MP from Purnea Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav, announced a bandh, staging “rail roko” protest in Araria. Jan Suraaj chief Prashant Kishor, analyst turned politician, has announced fast into death over demand for BPSC cancellation.

The anger of the students is understandable. While their protests initially started on December 19, the protests took a serious turn when the police exerted far too much aggression on the students, the students have complained. Visuals emerging from the site do seem to grant credibility to the students claims. Also, no one can applaud the strength of the police if the people they have disciplined (note to self: find a better word for discipline) are students who are surviving on close to nothing? Moreover, this is not the first time a student protest has taken place in Bihar. Data shows that between 2018 – 2022, 400 students protests took place in the state, second only to Kerala, which saw 510 students protests take place. One wonders what has motivated these protests? In 2023, there was a paper leak in the 2023 constable recruitment examination. A total of three question paper leak incidents occurred in Bihar including BPSC Teachers Recruitment Examination (TRE) Phase 3. More notably, NEET UG Paper Leak happened in May, which further intensified the anger amongst students. The results of the 2024 NEET-UG exam, which was held on May 5 and attended by nearly 24 lakh aspiring medical professionals, were plagued by allegations of leaked question papers and incorrectly awarded ‘grace marks’. Questions started emerging when a high number of students scored a perfect score of 720 – six of which studied in the same coaching center. A month after the protests gathered steam, the mastermind Amit Anand, based in Bihar, confessed to leaking the paper along with three accomplices.

Bihar has a serious problem with paper leaks. A gang which allegedly comprises of some coaching mafias, some corrupt officials and some other miscreants is responsible for the malpractices. In June 2024, the Bihar Legislative Assembly passed a bill to punish the criminals. All crimes under this law have become non bailable and there are stringent provisions such as, imprisonment terms of three to five years and a fine of Rs. 10 lakh. However, it is clear that the offence still continues.
