Note: This is a qualifying paper. Candidates must secure the minimum qualifying marks (typically 30%–40%) as prescribed by BPSC. Marks obtained are not counted towards the final merit list. Duration: 120 minutes. No negative marking.
Since this is a qualifying paper, your primary goal is consistent accuracy rather than maximising score. Begin by mastering वर्णमाला, संधि-समास, और कारक चिह्न — these form the foundation of most grammar questions. Dedicate 20 minutes daily to वर्तनी शुद्धि (spell-check) and वाक्य त्रुटि सुधार exercises; BPSC frequently tests these areas. Practise at least two अपठित गद्यांश (unseen passages) per week under timed conditions to build speed and comprehension. Lastly, revise common मुहावरे और लोकोक्तियाँ from standard Bihar Board textbooks, as BPSC often draws questions from these sources. A steady 4-week preparation cycle is sufficient to clear this qualifying hurdle confidently.
