The protest march began at Patna College and moved towards Dak Bungalow Chowk, bringing traffic movement across the city to a standstill. The protest was led by student leader Dilip Kumar.

Aspirants alleged that the government is unnecessarily delaying the TRE 3 recruitment process while lakhs of candidates continue to wait for the TRE 4 notification. The protesters also demanded that the government publicly disclose the exact number of vacancies and announce a clear deadline for the recruitment notification.

Another demand raised during the protest was the strict implementation of a domicile policy giving priority to local youth from Bihar in teacher recruitment.

Aspirants are also questioning why they must clear the same emanding sequence of prelims, mains, and interview as PCS officers for a job that offers only Rs 40,000 a month, reported News 18.

Newly appointed Education Minister, Mithilesh Tiwari, has assured them that a resolution will be found.

This is the first protest by BPSC candidates since the formation of the Samrat Chaudhary led BJP government in Bihar.
