BPSC 71st CCE final answer key released: Direct link here, result expected shortly at bpsc.bihar.gov.in

The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has released the final answer key and OMR sheets for the 71st Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) 2025 on its official website, bpsc.bihar.gov.in. Candidates who appeared for the exam can now download their OMR response sheets and the revised answer key PDF.

The Commission has also deleted five questions from each set of the question paper, following expert review and objection rounds.

Candidates are advised to verify their answers carefully and download their OMR sheets before the deadline, as no requests will be accepted after November 8, 2025.

Final answer key released for 71st BPSC CCE

BPSC has published the final answer key for the 71st CCE after analysing objections raised against the provisional version.

The Commission reviewed all representations and incorporated valid corrections before releasing the final document. Candidates can check the final answer key for all question paper sets including A, B, C, and D on the BPSC website under the “Notices” section. This key will be used for preparing the final merit list.Direct link to download final answer key here

OMR sheets available for download until November 8

Alongside the answer key, BPSC has also uploaded candidates’ scanned OMR response sheets on its online portal.

Aspirants can log in using their roll number and date of birth to download the file. The facility will remain active until 8 November 2025, after which the Commission will close access. BPSC has clarified that no OMR sheet copies will be provided later, so candidates should save or print them immediately for future reference.

Five questions deleted from the exam paper

After expert evaluation, the Commission has decided to delete five questions from each set of the 71st CCE question paper.

These questions will not be considered while calculating the final marks. This step ensures fairness and transparency, particularly where ambiguity or printing errors were identified in the question paper. Candidates’ scores will therefore be computed out of the remaining valid questions only.
