==History of Bihar Public Service Commission==

The Bihar Public Service Commission came into existence from 1 April 1949 after its separation from the Commission for the States of [[Orissa, India|Orissa]] and [[Madhya Pradesh]], in accordance with subsection (1) of section 261 of the [[Government of India Act 1935]], as adapted. Its constitutional status was pronounced with the promulgation of [[Constitution of India]] on 26 January 1950. It is a [[Constitutional body (India)|Constitutional body]] under Article 315 of the [[Constitution of India]].
The Bihar Public Service Commission initially began its functioning for the State of [[Bihar]] with its headquarters at Ranchi. The State Government decided to shift the headquarters of the Commission from [[Ranchi]] to [[Patna]] and it was finally shifted to [[Patna]] on 1 March 1951.
