Bihar GK
Bihar GK is where the BPSC prelims separates candidates who prepared for Bihar from those who prepared for UPSC. BPSC asks about the state in every section: Magadha and the Mahajanapadas, the dynasties of ancient Bihar, Buddhism and Jainism, Kunwar Singh and 1857, Champaran, the Azad Dasta of 1942, the Ganga and its floods, agro-climatic zones, the 2023 caste survey, Saat Nishchay, Jeevika and Jal-Jeevan-Hariyali.
The notes here are written for the prelims: one page per topic, the facts BPSC has asked or is likely to ask, and the numbers that matter. Start with the 16 Mahajanapadas and the dynasties of ancient Bihar, then Veer Kunwar Singh and the Revolt of 1857, the Bihar caste survey 2023 and Bihar geography: rivers, floods and agro-climatic zones.
Test yourself with the Bihar special mock test (100 questions) and the three Bihar PYQ sets. The monthly Bihar current affairs round-ups are under Current Affairs.
