The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has released the admit card for the 71st Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) 2025. However, lakhs of aspirants are facing difficulties downloading it as the official website continues to crash. With over 4.7 lakh candidates applying for this examination, the server has been overloaded, creating widespread frustration among students who are preparing for one of the state’s most competitive exams.
Admit Card Released but Website Not Responding
BPSC announced the release of the 71st admit card on its official website, bpsc.bihar.gov.in. Soon after, candidates rushed to log in and download their admit cards. However, the sudden surge of traffic caused repeated server crashes. This has left many aspirants unable to access their documents. The issue has persisted since Friday, and despite multiple attempts, thousands of candidates continue to remain unsuccessful in downloading their admit cards.
The admit card is essential for entry into the examination hall, making this technical glitch a major concern for candidates. For many aspirants, this is the culmination of months of preparation, and the delay in accessing admit cards has added to their anxiety.
Massive Number of Applicants
During a press briefing, BPSC confirmed that 4,70,528 aspirants have registered for the 71st CCE. This is one of the largest applicant counts in the history of the exam. The huge traffic to the server has caused it to slow down and eventually crash.
Candidates across Bihar and other states have reported difficulties, and many have expressed their frustration on social media platforms. The large-scale participation reflects the importance of the examination, which opens opportunities for prestigious government services in Bihar.
Technical Issues and Helpline Numbers
Acknowledging the technical glitch, the commission has released helpline numbers to assist candidates. While these helplines offer support, they are operational only during office hours and on working days, limiting immediate access for many aspirants.
The helpline numbers released by BPSC include:
-
0612 2237999 (for queries related to online application)
-
9297739013, 8235422948, 8235422867 (support numbers)
Although these numbers are functional, students claim that continuous attempts to connect often go unanswered due to the overwhelming volume of calls.
Steps to Download BPSC 71st Admit Card
Candidates who are able to access the website without interruption can download the admit card through the following process. First, they must visit the official website, bpsc.bihar.gov.in. Then they need to log in using their registration number and password. After logging in, candidates can click on the “BPSC 71st Admit Card” link to view the document. The admit card can then be downloaded and printed for examination use.
Those who managed to download the admit card reported that the process was straightforward once the site loaded. The challenge lies only in gaining access when traffic is high.
Importance of the Admit Card
The BPSC admit card is a mandatory document for candidates appearing in the exam. It contains crucial information such as the candidate’s name, roll number, exam center, reporting time, and important instructions. Without the admit card, no candidate will be permitted inside the examination hall.
As the examination date approaches, the urgency to download the admit card grows. Candidates are advised to keep multiple copies once they succeed in downloading it, ensuring they do not face last-minute issues.
Anxiety Among Aspirants
For aspirants, the admit card crisis has been more than a technical glitch. Many of them have been preparing for months, dedicating long hours to secure government jobs through the BPSC. With the exam being highly competitive, every detail, including timely access to the admit card, is crucial.
The server crash has created anxiety and stress, particularly for candidates from remote areas with limited internet access. For them, repeated attempts to log in and download the admit card have consumed valuable preparation time.
BPSC’s Responsibility and Candidate Expectations
Candidates expect the Bihar Public Service Commission to ensure smooth conduct of the examination process. With such a large number of applicants, proper arrangements should have been made to handle heavy server traffic. This is not the first time BPSC has faced criticism over technical glitches during exam processes, and aspirants are demanding better infrastructure and reliable systems in future.
BPSC, on its part, has assured candidates that all necessary steps are being taken to resolve the problem. However, with the exam date nearing, time remains a crucial factor.
Exam Day Preparations
Apart from downloading the admit card, candidates are reminded to carry valid photo identification along with the admit card on exam day. Instructions printed on the admit card must be carefully followed to avoid disqualification. Candidates are also advised to reach the examination center on time to prevent delays caused by checking and verification processes.
The release of the BPSC 71st Admit Card has been overshadowed by technical issues that prevented thousands of candidates from accessing their documents. With more than 4.7 lakh applicants, the overwhelming traffic caused the official website to crash repeatedly. Although helpline numbers have been issued, many aspirants continue to struggle.
The admit card remains an essential document for entry to the exam, and candidates are urged to continue attempts during off-peak hours when the website may respond better. As Bihar prepares for the massive 71st Combined Competitive Examination, candidates hope that the technical issues will be resolved quickly so they can focus on their preparation without unnecessary stress.
