Science & Technology

General science in the BPSC prelims is NCERT-level physics, chemistry and biology with everyday applications, plus science and technology in the news: space missions, defence, health, IT and energy. It is a sizeable block of the paper, and many of the questions are on the human body.

Practice sets so far: Physics: light and sound (75 questions), and two biology tests from the 72nd BPSC practice series, blood, circulation, excretion and muscles and locomotion, the nervous system and endocrine glands. For science in the news, sit the science and technology current affairs quiz (68 questions) and the two science and current affairs mock tests.

Chemistry is not covered here yet; the Class 9 and 10 NCERT science books, mapped in the NCERT books for BPSC plan, cover the ground the paper is set from.
