BPSC Prelims Syllabus 2025-26

The BPSC Prelims syllabus has one objective General Studies paper of 150 marks. Importantly, it is a screening test, so the marks do not count in the final merit. Below are the main areas.

• Current events of national and international importance
• Additionally, the History of India and the Bihar movement
• Geography of India and Bihar — physical, social, economic
• Similarly, Indian Polity, Economy, and the Panchayati Raj system
• General Science and developments in science and technology
• Furthermore, Bihar-specific economy, culture, and current affairs
• Finally, general mental ability and basic numeracy

BPSC Mains Syllabus 2025-26

Next comes the descriptive stage. Specifically, the BPSC Mains syllabus has a qualifying Hindi paper plus three merit papers. Consequently, answer writing and Bihar-focused coverage matter equally here.

How to Cover the BPSC Syllabus Efficiently

First, read the full BPSC syllabus once and mark familiar topics. Next, pick syllabus-mapped notes so you never study off-topic. Then, revise paper by paper and write answers from memory. Finally, solve previous-year papers to test your coverage. Because the BPSC syllabus heavily weights Bihar GS, choose material that covers Bihar specifically — many generic UPSC books skip it.
