{{/usCountry}}Patna was recently inundated in rain water after three days of continuous rains that lashed entire Bihar. Several examinees were stuck in their homes during the deluge and hence demanded postponement of the exams but the BPSC remained unmoved by their pleas. However, for the convenience of some examinees, at least six examination centres that fell in flood affected areas were changed.
