  • 12 Aug 2026 — BPSC releases provisional answer key (General Studies & Law) for Assistant Prosecution Officer Prelims, Advt 13/2026

    BPSC published the provisional answer key for the Assistant Prosecution Officer (Advt No. 13/2026) Preliminary Examination, held 15 July 2026, as two paper-wise PDFs (General Studies and Law). A companion notice inviting candidate objections to the provisional answers was posted the same day. Verified live on the bpsc.bihar.gov.in homepage 'What's New' carousel on 2026-08-23, which explicitly links both papers under the Advt 13/2026 Prosecution Officer heading; the PDF body itself could not be rendered by the fetcher (server forces a file download and the API-request fallback also failed), so verification rests on the official homepage's rendered link text/filenames rather than the PDF content.
