Succeeding in the BPSC (Bihar Public Service Commission) exam in your first attempt is possible, but it needs smart preparation + discipline + consistency.
Here’s a step-by-step blueprint you can follow:
Prelims → 1 paper (GS), objective type (qualifying for Mains).
Mains → 4 papers (GS 1, GS 2, Optional Subject, Hindi).
Interview → Personality test & knowledge application.
???? Download the latest BPSC syllabus from the official site and mark important topics.
Start with NCERT books (6th–12th) for History, Geography, Polity, Economy, and Science.
Read standard reference books:
Polity – Laxmikanth
History – Spectrum Modern India
Geography – GC Leong + Atlas
Economy – Ramesh Singh or Class 11–12 NCERTs
Current Affairs – The Hindu, Indian Express, or BPSC-specific monthly compilations.
Read daily current affairs (national + Bihar-specific).
Use Bihar government websites, budget documents, and economic surveys for state-specific facts.
Practice answer writing daily from Day 1, not after prelims.
Focus on structure: Intro → Body (facts + analysis) → Conclusion.
Use Bihar examples wherever possible for better marks.
Solve at least 10–20 MCQs daily.
Analyze previous 10 years’ BPSC papers – many questions repeat in concept.
Follow 3-tier revision:
Weekly → Revise what you studied that week.
Monthly → Revise the entire month’s topics.
Before exam → Focus on high-yield areas and weak topics.
Make a realistic timetable and stick to it.
Avoid studying 14–16 hours in a burst – 6–8 focused hours daily is better.
Take short breaks to avoid burnout.
✅ Pro-Tips from Toppers
Integrate mock tests early, don’t wait till the last month.
Use Bihar-specific data in both Prelims & Mains.
