BPSC 72nd CCE Admit Card 2026: Prelims Postponed, Date Awaited

No admit card has been issued for the Integrated 72nd CCE Prelims. On 12 October 2026 BPSC postponed the exam that was to be held on 25 October 2026 and said the new date will be notified later. This is the second postponement: the Prelims was first fixed for 26 July 2026 (12:00 noon to 2:00 PM) and called off on 18 July 2026. When it is rescheduled, the e-Admit Card will come only through bpsconline.bihar.gov.in; BPSC does not send admit cards by post.

How do you download the BPSC CCE e-Admit Card?

The process in the 71st CCE Prelims admit-card notice (exam on 13 September 2025, e-Admit Card from 6 September 2025) was:

1. Log in at bpsconline.bihar.gov.in/candidate/login with your account, go to My Account and click the advertisement.
2. Choose View/download against Admit Card. The e-Admit Card shows only your allotted district.
3. The centre code and centre name appeared on the Dashboard later, from 11 September 2025.
4. Check that your roll number and bar-code are printed clearly.

Carry an extra copy of the e-Admit Card; you sign it in front of the invigilator and hand it over. If your photograph or signature prints badly, BPSC puts out a separate notice with a declaration form. It did so for the 71st Prelims on 10 September 2025 and for the 71st Mains on 23 April 2026.

Exam-day rules for the CCE Prelims

From the 71st CCE instructions (912 centres in 37 districts, 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM):

• Reach 2½ hours before the start; entry begins at 9:30 AM and closes at 11:00 AM, one hour before the paper.
• Mobile phones, calculators, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi gadgets, electronic pens, pagers and smart watches are banned on the premises. Any electronic item found in the hall counts as malpractice.
• Malpractice means debarment from this and the next five years of BPSC exams; spreading misleading rumours, three years. Cases also go under the Bihar Public Examination (Unfair Means Prevention) Act, 2024.

For the 72nd cycle, the advertisement adds an identity point: candidates who did not enter an Aadhaar number in the online form pay an extra ₹200 biometric fee per exam on top of the ₹100 exam fee.

Mains e-Admit Card

The Mains has its own e-Admit Card. For the 71st CCE Mains, the notice of 14 April 2026 opened downloads from 17 April 2026 through the Dashboard's "Download Admit Card" button after login with Username and Password. Centre code details followed on 22 April 2026. Papers ran on 25, 27, 28, 29 and 30 April 2026 at Patna headquarters centres. The Mains rules differ from the Prelims: reach two hours early, entry closes one hour before the paper, and answers must be written in one ink, blue or black.

Interview letters

Interview call letters are posted by phase. For the 70th CCE, letters were available from 15 January 2026 for the first phase and from 26 February 2026 for the second.
