BPSC 72nd CCE Result 2026: 71st Mains Awaited, Stage Rules

No 72nd CCE result is due yet: the Prelims, postponed on 12 October 2026, has no new date. The 71st CCE Mains result came out on 6 November 2026. The CCE written result lists 3,185 candidates, out of 11,125 who sat, to be called for interview. A separate Financial Administrative Officer and equivalent result lists 207 out of 742. BPSC says the interview notice will be published separately.

How is the BPSC CCE result decided, stage by stage?

Prelims

Under the 72nd CCE advertisement the Prelims only screens: ten times the vacancies (1,187 after the 3 September 2026 corrigendum) are called to the Mains. The result is a PDF of roll numbers in order with category-wise cut-offs printed at the end. The 71st Prelims result of 18 November 2025 listed 13,368 qualifiers out of 3,16,905 who appeared and promised marksheets under "View Marksheet" on bpsc.bihar.gov.in.

Mains

General Hindi (100 marks) must be cleared at 30% but does not count. Merit rests on GS Paper I, GS Paper II and Essay, 300 marks each. The optional paper (100 MCQs, 100 marks) is qualifying only. About two and a half times the vacancies are called for interview, category-wise.

Interview and final merit

The interview carries 120 marks and is compulsory. The final merit list ranks candidates on 1,020 marks (900 Mains plus 120 interview). Ties go to the higher Mains score, then the older candidate, then Devanagari alphabetical order of name. The 70th final result also used Essay marks as a second tie-breaker. Posts are allotted from the service/post preferences filled in the Mains application, and a medical board examines candidates after the interview for a ₹16 cash fee.

Marksheets and scorecards

Prelims marksheets have been downloadable with roll number and date of birth, or registration number and date of birth (70th cycle). Final marks come later: 70th CCE marksheets opened on 22 July 2026 through the dashboard, using the 69th/70th OTR User Name and Password and the "Integrated 70th Marks" button.
