State policy context · Bihar
Bihar published a caste survey in October 2023 and legislated to raise reservation to 65%, which the Patna High Court struck down in June 2024 for breaching the 50% ceiling; the matter has moved to the Supreme Court. BPSC's 70th examination in December 2024 saw large protests over alleged irregularities and a partial re-examination.
