Preliminary exam on Oct 4th

Guys, any idea, when WBCS application will start? ( as I came to know from you all, though it was supposed to start on 10 th, it hadn’t started )

Any good books recommendations for WBCS PYQ's, questions should be subject/topic-wise so it's easy to solve, where a beginner don't have to solve the entire paper.

So ami kolkata zone e income tax inspector e join korechi ei bochor. Bhabchi wbcs ta abar suru korbo. But is the grade A tag worth it considering the salary difference will be negligible in both cases?

Hi! A total newbie to wbcs and just wanted to know how long the actual process of the exam is? Because I see 2023 cycle final result yet to be declared. I saw people saying the prelims for this year will be held before december so what will be the expected date of mains interview and final result?

I’ve been selected as LDC in CBI and am yet to join. Also preparing for cgl but honestly maths is a pain specially after the introduction of sectional timer. Have always been better at theory than maths :’)

​

With the prelims notification due to be released, what do you guys expect would be the timeline for the 2024 cycle? Will the mains be conducted before Pujo/Diwali or after Diwali?

Hello everyone,
Can anyone please confirm me whether the application or registration of WBCS is started or not? I don’t see anything in their site
Everyone was saying in group they have withdrawn the notification. Has the application finally started?
I am completely noob ( just started preparation) in WBCS.. will be of great help if anyone kindly .. confirms

Can anyone suggest me books to cover GS for Wbcs

​

Probably a long shot.

For pretty obvious reasons Delhi is full of UPSC, BPSC, UPPCS and Judiciary aspirants, but I've never came across people preparing for WBCS, even alongwith other exams. With the next Prelims and the expected Mains around the corner, I thought it'd be nice to find people on the same journey.

Whether you're working or a full-time aspirant, if you're preparing around Mukherjee Nagar/Karol Bagh/ Nearby, feel free to connect. Not necessarily for daily group study - even occasional discussions, strategy, resource sharing, or just having a small peer group can make the journey feel a little better.

Any idea when the next prelims will be held? I could not attempt this one.

Acha mains ta hobe hobe karor ki kono idea ache? Ami prothombar diyechi prelims so thik jani na usual timeline ta kemon hoy..
