BPSC had a controversial question in its civil services main exam question paper
Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has landed itself in a soup after a question asked in the recently conducted Bihar Civil Services Main examination began doing the rounds on Social Media. The question in question likened the Governor of State, especially Bihar, to a puppet.
The second question in the first section of the question paper read, "Critically examine the role of Governor in the state politics in India, particularly in Bihar. Is he a mere puppet?"
BPSC Civil Services main exam had a contentious question in its latest edition
Bihar Public Service Commission officials were quick to clarify that its members had no role in the setting of questions. The officials laid the blame at the feet of the teacher who set the paper but said there was nothing wrong with the question, except, of course, that words like "puppet" were avoidable.
Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) began the Civil Services Main examination on July 12. The examinations were conducted from July 12 to July 14 and the last shift of the exam will conclude on July 16, 2019.
