Students in Patna staged a heated protest over BPSC TRE‑4 issues, demanding removal of negative marking and full domicile eligibility, while police intervened at Dakbangla Chowk.
On Tuesday, a group of aspirants gathered at Dakbangla Chowk in Patna to press for changes in the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) TRE‑4 examination framework. The protesters called for the elimination of negative marking between the Preliminary Test (PT) and the Mains, as well as the implementation of a 100% domicile reservation for candidates from the state.
The demonstration grew increasingly intense, prompting the local police to intervene and lift several students from the crowd. Among those addressing the media, a participant named Prashant Kishor asserted that the demands were legitimate and reflected the broader concerns of the examinee community.
Authorities have not released details on any further action or dialogue with the protestors, but the incident underscores growing frustration among BPSC candidates over perceived inequities in the selection process.
