Latest syllabus and paper pattern
Written-paper practice is separate from typing/computer proficiency. For the current recruitment, the 21 August 2026 BPSC notice cancelled the named earlier skill/document events; follow a later fresh programme for those stages. Use the papers below for written revision, not as proof of an active skill-test appointment.

Use the right paper
Keep written-paper practice separate from typing/computer-test preparation. For advertisement 43/2025, read the cancellation-status guide before relying on an old skill-test schedule. The cancellation of named test events does not by itself cancel the entire recruitment.
How to practise and score
Read the booklet instructions before starting. Attempt relevant questions without looking at solutions, record uncertain answers, and revise the underlying topics. For an objective paper, calculate penalties using the rules applicable to that sitting. For a descriptive paper, assess structure, coverage and completion time; a self-assigned mark is not an examiner’s score.
Official papers and corrections
Check the authority’s official website for original papers, final answer keys, syllabus amendments and current candidate instructions. A provisional key may be revised. Match the question number and booklet series before using any answer. Where a scan lacks pages or a reliable identity, use it only as supplementary practice, not as a complete timed test.
A practical weekly paper routine
| Item | Details |
|---|---|

| Same-day review | Separate knowledge gaps, misreading, calculation mistakes and unanswered questions |
| Targeted revision | Return to the official syllabus topic and practise similar questions |
| Repeat check | Reattempt the missed questions after a gap and compare accuracy, not just total attempts |
