BPSC 70th Final Result 2026: Topper List, Post-Wise Selection & Cut-Off Marks Explained

The Bihar Public Service Commission has finally closed the books on one of its longest-running recruitment cycles. On June 20, 2026, BPSC declared the 70th Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) Final Result, ending months of anxious waiting for thousands of aspirants across Bihar. If you sat for the Mains exam in April 2025 or the interview round that wrapped up in late February 2026, this is the result you’ve been refreshing your browser for.

This article breaks down exactly who topped the list, how many candidates made it, which posts they were selected for, how the cut-off worked category-wise, and — most importantly — what you need to do next if your name is on the merit list.

Quick Snapshot: BPSC 70th Final Result 2026

Who Topped the BPSC 70th Exam? Full Topper List

The headline name from this result is Shraddha Pandey, who secured Rank 1 with 593 marks out of the total 1,020. She is followed closely by Shashank Gaurav at Rank 2 alongside Ayush Bijoy, who scored 592 marks — a margin of just one mark separating the top three candidates, which gives a sense of how tightly contested this year’s competition was.

What makes the BPSC 70th topper story noteworthy isn’t just the marks — it’s the journey. Out of an initial pool of 20,034 candidates who appeared for the Mains examination, only 5,401 qualified for the interview stage. From that group, the commission has now recommended 2,027 candidates for appointment. That’s a final selection ratio of roughly 1 in 10 from the Mains stage, and about 1 in 2.7 from the interview stage — numbers that put into perspective just how competitive Bihar’s premier civil services exam really is.

If you’re tracking the full rank-wise list rather than just the top names, the complete merit list PDF — including roll numbers in serial order — is available directly on the official BPSC portal, and we’ve detailed exactly how to search it below.

BPSC 70th Post-Wise Selection: SDM, DSP, BDO Breakdown

One detail that often gets buried in result coverage is the post-wise distribution of selected candidates. The 70th CCE covered multiple administrative and executive services under the Bihar government, and based on available reports:

• Around 200 candidates have been selected for the post of Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) — one of the most sought-after administrative roles in the state.
• 136 candidates have been selected for Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), a key entry point into Bihar’s police administrative cadre.
• The remaining vacancies are spread across Block Development Officer (BDO), Bihar Administrative Service (BAS), Bihar Finance Service, Bihar Education Service, and other allied departments under the 12+ services covered by this recruitment cycle.

If your interest lies specifically in which post you’ve been allotted (rather than just confirming selection), the official merit list PDF typically lists post preference alongside roll number once the final allocation order is published. It’s worth checking the BPSC portal periodically over the coming days, since post-wise allocation sometimes follows a few days after the initial merit announcement.

How to Check BPSC 70th Final Result by Roll Number

This is the most urgent task for anyone reading this article right now. Here’s the exact process:

1. Visit the official website: bpsc.bihar.gov.in (the mirror site bpsc.bih.nic.in also works if the main portal is slow due to heavy traffic).
2. Look under the “Latest Updates” or “Results” section on the homepage.
3. Click on the link titled “70th Combined Competitive Examination Final Result 2026.”
4. The result will open as a PDF file — this is the master merit list, sorted by roll number.
5. Use Ctrl+F (Find) on your keyboard and type in your roll number or full name exactly as it appears on your admit card.
6. If your details appear in the list, you’ve been recommended for selection. Download and save the PDF for your records — you’ll need it for the next stage.

For an individual scorecard with your exact marks breakdown (rather than just confirmation of selection), log in separately at bpsconline.bihar.gov.in using your Registration Number and Password.

A quick tip: official servers tend to slow down significantly in the first 24–48 hours after a major result like this goes live. If the page won’t load, try again during early morning hours (before 8 AM) when traffic is lower, or use the mirror domain.

BPSC 70th Cut-Off Marks: Category-Wise Expectations

While BPSC has not published a separately itemized cut-off marks document at the time of this result, cut-offs are implicitly determined by the lowest-scoring selected candidate within each reserved category, since final merit is prepared category-wise to honor reservation norms under Bihar government rules.

Historically, BPSC cut-offs for the CCE vary based on:

• Number of vacancies allotted to a particular category in that cycle
• Difficulty level of the Mains paper that year
• Overall competition intensity — and this year, with only 2,027 selections out of 5,401 interviewed candidates, the bar was notably high across the board

Once BPSC releases the formal category-wise cut-off notification (typically published a few days to a couple of weeks after the final result, depending on administrative processing time), it will be available on the official portal under the same results section. We’ll update this article with exact category-wise cut-off figures — General, EWS, BC, EBC, SC, ST, and Women’s category — as soon as the commission publishes them.

How BPSC 70th Final Merit Was Calculated

A common point of confusion for first-time aspirants: Prelims marks do not count toward the final BPSC merit list. The selection formula for the 70th CCE works strictly as follows:

Final Merit = Mains Marks (900) + Interview Marks (120) = Total 1,020 marks

The Prelims stage functions purely as a qualifying round to shortlist candidates for Mains — your Prelims score has zero weight in the final ranking. This is why candidates who may have scored only moderately in Prelims can still top the final list if their Mains and Interview performance is strong, exactly as we saw with this year’s topper.

Interview to Final Result Timeline

For context, many candidates were anxious about the delay between the interview round and the final result. Here’s the full timeline:

• April 25–30, 2025: Mains examination conducted across 32 centres in Patna
• December 16, 2025: Mains result declared, 5,401 candidates qualified for interview
• January 21 – February 28, 2026: Interview round conducted
• June 20, 2026: Final result declared

A gap of roughly 3.5 months between the end of interviews and the final result is actually within BPSC’s typical historical pattern, where final result processing usually takes 6 to 10 weeks or more due to marks normalization across 1,020 total points, cadre allocation across 12+ services, and reserved-category document re-verification.

What Happens After the BPSC 70th Final Result?

If your name appears on the merit list, here’s what comes next:

1. Document Verification — You’ll need to produce original certificates (educational qualifications, category certificates, age proof, domicile, etc.) for cross-checking against your application form.
2. Medical Examination — A mandatory fitness test required before formal appointment, particularly for services like DSP that involve field duties.
3. Cadre/Post Allocation — Based on your final rank and preference order submitted earlier, you’ll be allotted a specific service and posting district.
4. Appointment Letter — Once verification and medical clearance are complete, BPSC and the respective department issue the formal joining letter.

Keep your original documents organized and readily accessible — delays in document verification are one of the most common reasons candidates lose time during this final stretch.

Final Word

The BPSC 70th Final Result 2026 closes out a recruitment cycle that began with over 20,000 Mains candidates and ends with just over 2,000 successful appointees — a clear reflection of how demanding Bihar’s civil services exam continues to be. Whether you’re celebrating a selection, double-checking your roll number, or already gearing up for the 71st CCE cycle, bookmark the official BPSC portal for verified updates, and avoid relying on unofficial WhatsApp forwards for your result status.
