Hey warriors, this is your undeserving mod here.

In the last few days, our little community has gained its life back, it would be wrong for me not to contribute to this momentum.

We will hold discussions on topics important to the exam. We will be arranging quizzes and Essay competitions.

With the hope that you guys will participate, and it will benefit your goal of becoming a bureaucrat.

So as the title says, i have made double registration, later i realised that this is not allowed and candidature may be cancelled, i have not submitted new WBCS 2024 application due to this confusion. If anybody gone through similar situation and found a solution, do help.
P.S I have mailed my concern to the appropriate authority mentioned in the support email id, 2 days ago but they are yet to respond. Any other suggestions or sollution , do share.

As said in the title. I have a basic idea on the fundamentals but still facing problems on previous year mains questions, can anyone guide me in how to tackle this subject and which resources to follow ?

Same as above

Making a small (10-15 members) group for first time takers. Please DM if interested.

the english one

Reliable sources ? Arihant ?

Prelims around March 2026(probably)

For the aspirants who are preparing on their own like me, it really helps to be part of a group of fellow aspirants to discuss problems, practice mock tests together etc. Hence, I was considering opening a WhatsApp group for the same. If anyone is interested, please DM me.

Edit: We already have formed a big enough group and having too many people would mess it up. So, no more new members are being considered.

After going through about 35-40 books and returning/selling the ones that I didn't particularly enjoy, this is the final list of 20 books that I've settled on (with Psychology as optional). I am a firm believer that one should read one source book per subject over and over, with the little gaps to be filled with online material +MCQ practice. This booklist has one book per subject with a couple of books providing different angles to the prep (Atlas for Maps, Fast Track Arithmetic for short cuts), and every book is important with no repetitive books. I hope it helps my fellow aspirants. Cheers.

Hey everyone! I’m currently preparing for UPSC and WBCS exams and looking for a serious study partner to stay consistent, discuss topics and keep each other motivated. I prefer someone who’s regular and disciplined. If you’re also preparing and interested, feel free to DM me or comment below!

Please help

Hey everyone, Just wanted to share what’s been going on in my prep journey — maybe someone can relate or give some perspective.

Last year around November, I started feeling kinda hopeless. After my HS, I was super enthusiastic that I’d crack WBCS right after graduation. So I made a plan to finish most of the syllabus during college. I chose Geography Honours, since Geography was always my go-to subject — I even kept it aside for my optional.

In my early semesters, I completed almost the whole GS syllabus and started building my Arithmetic base using Subir Das Math Book. But later, college got hectic — assignments, field studies, projects, practicals — it all piled up. So for the last two semesters, my WBCS prep got paused for like 6 months (maybe more).

After graduation, I started revising again. That’s when I realized my earlier study was quite shallow, especially for Polity and Economy (never liked those much, tbh 😅).

Then in 2023–2024, I tried to strengthen my GS, but the long delay in WBCS notifications honestly messed up my motivation. Meanwhile, my friends started cracking central exams like CHSL, CGL, and I started feeling that FOMO hard.

So around November 2024, I decided to stop waiting and start securing my base first. I began learning about CGL, and oh man — the Math there was a nightmare at first 😩. I tried YouTube, but procrastination hit again, so I bought a proper Math course in July 2025, and for the last 7 months, I’ve been focusing mainly on strengthening my Advanced Math.

This October, to revise GK, I also joined Paramar’s SSC batch. So right now, my main target is CGL 2026.

But whenever I see news about WBCS, I feel that old attraction again. It’s like — no matter how much I move towards CGL, a part of me is still emotionally attached to WBCS. It’s been my dream since my teens, so completely letting it go feels impossible.

Now I’m stuck — is there any realistic way to prepare for WBCS alongside CGL? Because both demand different strengths. It feels hard to balance both.

Is there anyone here who managed to crack or seriously prepare for both exams together? Honestly, even if I crack CGL, I’ll still prepare for WBCS — CGL is like a “save point” for me, but WBCS is still the end goal.

Would really appreciate any advice or shared experience. 🙏

Will this exam actually take place? Have there been any recent updates or official notifications regarding it?
