The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has officially released the admit cards for the 71st Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination (CCE) 2025, giving candidates a crucial document needed to appear for the exam. Aspirants can download their hall tickets from the official platforms—bpsc.bihar.gov.in and bpsconline.bihar.gov.in.

The Prelims exam is scheduled for September 13, 2025, confirmed by BPSC to dispel any postponement rumours. The exam will be conducted in a single shift from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, featuring 150 multiple-choice questions to be completed within two hours, and will include a one-third negative marking for each incorrect response .

Candidates are advised to verify critical details like roll number, exam centre, barcode, and exam timings on their admit cards. It’s also recommended to print multiple copies, carry a valid photo ID, and reach the examination centre at least two hours before the exam begins to avoid any last-minute issues (e.g., entry cutoff at 11:00 AM)
