Restrictions on the number of attempts for the BPSC exam

There are certain restrictions on the number of attempts for the BPSC (Bihar Public Service Commission) exam. These restrictions vary depending on the category of the candidates. Let's discuss the details:

General Category
- Candidates belonging to the general category can attempt the BPSC exam a maximum of 6 times.
- The number of attempts is counted from the year 2011 onwards.
- If a candidate has already exhausted their 6 attempts, they are not eligible to appear for the BPSC exam again.

OBC Category
- Candidates belonging to the OBC (Other Backward Classes) category can attempt the BPSC exam a maximum of 9 times.
- Similar to the general category, the number of attempts is counted from 2011 onwards.
- Once a candidate has completed their 9 attempts, they are no longer eligible to appear for the BPSC exam.

SC/ST Category
- Candidates belonging to the SC/ST (Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe) category have no restrictions on the number of attempts for the BPSC exam.
- They can appear for the exam as many times as they wish until they reach the maximum age limit specified by the commission.

Female Candidates
- Female candidates belonging to any category are provided with an additional attempt in the BPSC exam.
- This means that if a female candidate has exhausted their regular number of attempts according to their category, they are still eligible for one extra attempt.

It is important to note that these restrictions on the number of attempts may be subject to change by the Bihar Public Service Commission. Candidates are advised to refer to the official notifications and guidelines provided by the commission for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the number of attempts allowed for the BPSC exam.
