WBCS Syllabus

The West Bengal Public Service Commission has released the WBCS Syllabus for the students who have applied and will be appearing for the examination. Just like other PSC examinations, the WBCS syllabus is also the same and asks questions on the same pattern and subject. The only changes that exist between a state PCS and Union PCS are the coverage of the syllabus. The state pcs is based on the history and geography of the state itself. I have explained the WBCS Syllabus and the exam pattern in detail in this article.
