The Combined Civil Services Preliminary Examination 2025, organized by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC), was conducted seamlessly across all 96 examination centres in Ranchi district. The event took place under comprehensive security protocols to ensure a fair and orderly testing environment.
Elaborate Security Measures Implemented
Ranchi Deputy Commissioner Manjunath Bhajantri confirmed that the examination proceeded without any untoward incidents or instances of unfair practices. In a coordinated effort, the Deputy Commissioner and Senior Superintendent of Police Rakesh Ranjan issued a joint order deploying magistrates and police personnel at each centre. Their primary responsibilities included maintaining law and order and safeguarding the integrity of the examination process.
