The application fee for the general category is 600 and 150 for those in Bihar’s Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe categories.

The commission has also announced some major changes to the exam pattern. As per the updated scheme, all questions in the Prelims exam will now have negative markings. “Negative marking should be uniformly on all the 150 questions. ln this case, there will be 1 mark for a correct answer and -1/4th for a wrong answer,” BPSC said. This means, for each correct answer, candidates will get 1 mark and for each incorrect answer, 0.25 marks will be deducted. Additionally, in the Mains examination, the optional paper will carry only 100 marks, instead of 300.

Premji said that Wipro would partner with the Government "to find a lasting solution for Bengaluru's mobility challenges".
