Bihar academic and civil service recruitment disputes

Overview

Union Minister Chirag Paswan has engaged with Bihar state leadership regarding academic and civil service recruitment concerns. Initially, Paswan formally requested Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary to review the ‘Assistant Professor Recruitment Rules-2026’, advocating for transparency, the implementation of UGC Regulation 2018, and the regularization of long-serving guest faculty.

Following these concerns, tensions escalated as aspirants protested alleged irregularities in the 70th Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) examination. Paswan visited the protest sites in Patna to meet with students and criticized the use of water cannons and lathi charges by police to disperse demonstrators. After Paswan met with Chief Minister Choudhary to present the demands of BPSC, BELTRON, and TRE-4 aspirants, the Chief Minister reportedly assured that the demands would be given ‘serious consideration’ to reach a resolution.
