The decision was majorly taken after students conducted protests against the new format of the BPSC exams and turned aggressive outside the Commission office. However, nothing is clear about the percentile system so far as the students are also demanding to dismiss the percentile system in BPSC.

Students alleged that when the notification of the BPSC exam was floated, there was no mention of a percentile system at that time. Once forms were filled, changes were made in the exam patterns which are not acceptable to them. Now the 67th Combined Competitive Preliminary Examination (CCE) is to be held on September 20 and 22.
