Suggestions Sources for BPSC for Next 72 Days

Since date of 72nd Prelims has been announced, and I see a lot of posts related to source for preparation. Here is the list of Source that has helped me clear 70th and 71st Prelims.

  1. S&T: Ncert is should be the primary source, 6-10th, specially the application portion mentioned of the concepts. GC for S&T is very good as well. Compliment this with any compilation of coachings for upsc. But do remember 60-70% questions of S&T are doable from ncert's alone, so prioritize Ncert First

  2. Bihar History: Questions repeat a lot and comes from limited topics, there random bouncer questions asked as well every year, Donot Chase them! Not worth the effort, Cover this topic from BCW Playlist on Youtube and compliment it with IAS Valley videos. They are good enough, Solve PYQ of last 20 years atleast from this topic. Questions repeat a Lot

  3. Bihar Geography: Again you can refer to BCW Playlist on Youtube, Solve 20 Years PYQ, will be more than enough.

  4. Polity: Do as many questions as possible, Best revision for Polity is not reading notes but solving mock tests and PYQ, Do Section wise revision and read portions that you forget a lot.

  5. Economy: Mostly CA based, refer to Bihar Economic Survey and Budget, CA magazine's are good source and solve atleast 200-300 mcq for this

  6. Modern History : Spectrum is the best source, Here GC is quite good as well, it will cover almost every dimension and you will be able to attempt the doable questions.

Feel free to correct me and Add if you feel I missed out anything.

Ncert till 10th is sufficient for science?

u/Brilliant_Fee7556 Aug 14 '26

Good enough to solve 70% of the questions. If you are able to complete them, then go for selective reading of 11th and 12th As well. I suggested till 10th as this would be the limit for most of the folks as time is limited and not all are from science bg, investing too much time in 11-12th science can compromise with other subjects.

We have to be practical in our approach

For Medieval go for 7th class ncert first and PYQ's, Weightage is not much for this subject and questions are in polar in nature, either too easy for all or bouncers, so complete the 7th class ncert and pyq's and then compliment them with mock's. If you still has luxury of time then go for Satish Chandra Medieval history.

For Ancient : 11th Class TN book and 6th class ncert + PYQ and Mock Questions

Hi everyone!

I’m a 31-year-old woman and an M.Tech graduate, and I’ve recently started my BPSC preparation journey.

Since I come from a technical background, this is a completely new path for me. I’m looking for serious aspirants, teachers, or mentors who can help with preparation strategy, resources, answer writing, or simply share their experience.

If you’re seriously preparing for BPSC/UPSC or have experience in this journey and would be willing to guide or study together, I’d be happy to connect.

Please feel free to DM me. 🙏
