SCIENCE FOR BPSC PRE AND MAINS EXAM | SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR BPSC MAINS

1. INTRODUCTION

Hello friends i am Dy SP Shahid Eqwal BPSC 60-62 Batch and BPSC 63rd Batch qualified candidate. I secured Rank 39 in BPSC 63rd Batch. I strongly feel that education must be free and fair for everybody and reach beyond social barriers. The most basic idea about creating this website is to disseminate my assumptions for free education. In this article i am going to discuss preparation strategy of science for bpsc exam. I will guide you step by step for bpsc pre and for bpsc mains.

2. SCIENCE IN BPSC EXAM

Here you must understand that syllabus of science in bpsc pre and in bpsc mains exam is quite different and don't resemble each other. General science is to be studied in bpsc pre exam. Opposite to this Science and Technology (Applied science) is a part of bpsc mains exam syllabus. Now let's understand definition of general science and applied science for better clarity.

GENERAL SCIENCE - "General science refers to the core subjects of science and not a specialized or applied study of a specific area of discipline of science". The sub disciplines for general sciences are Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Let me elaborate this definition with appropriate examples; Motion, heat, light wave, sound, metal, non metal, fuel, electricity, gravitation etc are part of general science.

APPLIED SCIENCE - "Applied science is a discipline that applies existing scientific knowledge to develop more practical applications, such as technology or inventions". Let me elaborate this definition with appropriate examples; Solar power, renewable energy, bio technology, drone technology, robotics, space technology etc are part of applied science. The development of these applications are based on the knowledge of general science only.

3. WEIGHTAGE OF SCIENCE IN BPSC EXAM

In this paragraph i am going to brief you weightage of science in bpsc pre exam and in bpsc mains exam.

3.1 SCIENCE IN PRE EXAM

30 questions are being asked in bpsc pre exam from general science section. Give due respect to general science for bpsc syllabus and don't leave this topic unattended. Easy to moderate questions are being asked from science section. You must target to score at least 22 out of 30 marks question. Your little effort in science will help you to qualify pre exam safely.

3.2 SCIENCE IN MAINS EXAM

Science and technology (applied science) is a part of General Studies paper 2 (section-III) in bpsc mains exam. A total number of 3 question being asked in this section and out of these 3 questions a candidate is supposed to answer only 2. Question No. 01 of the part-3 i.e Science and Technology is compulsory short answer question and the same is divided into 5 sub questions of 7/6 Marks each totalling 36 Marks.

Question No. 02 of Part-3 i.e Science & Tech have two questions and a candidates is required to choose one question from Question No. 02. Question No. 02 carry 36 marks each thus making  total marks 72 marks for Science & Tech.

4. PREPARATION STRATEGY

In this paragraph i will brief you preparation strategy of science for bpsc pre and science for bpsc mains exam. I am also going to suggest books as well as important topics for mains exam.

4.1 STRATEGY FOR PRE EXAM

BPSC pre exam is objective in nature and questions are based on facts. You must try to mug up important facts as much as possible. Here i will advise you to read  Lucent General Science. This book is based on CBSE syllabus and covers almost all sections of physics, chemistry and biology. Apart from Lucent general science, following books of NCERT science is also to be studied.

• Science NCERT Class-6
• Science NCERT Class-7
• Science NCERT Class-8
• Science NCERT Class-9
• Science NCERT Class-10 

4.2 STRATEGY FOR MAINS EXAM

BPSC mains exam is subjective in nature and questions are based on analysis. Here i will advise you to select some important topics and prepare them exhaustively. I am not going to recommend any book for preparing science and technology for bpsc mains. Just go through past year questions and prepare notes with the help of Internet/Wikipedia/YouTube. Keep one thing in mind while preparing notes. Don't emphasize much on theoretical/technical part of any topic in notes preparation. Focus on day to day application/use of that topic for developmental activities. Please include these topics for preparation of notes.

Preparation of notes in respect of science for bpsc pre exam is not needed. Just buy and read Lucent general science book underlining important facts. Focus on underlined facts for revision. Revise as much as you can for quick mugging up.

Preparation of notes in respect of science for bpsc mains exam is must. Take help of internet/Wikipedia/YouTube for notes preparation. Focus on application of topic while preparing notes. Don't go deeply in historical background as well as technically of topic. Use as simple language as you can for notes preparation.
