BPSC Previous Year Question Papers (PYQ)
Attempt real BPSC previous-year questions online — free, bilingual (हिंदी + English), on an exam-style CBT interface with instant score, solutions and the exact current marking scheme. Prelims & Mains, edition-wise and subject-wise.
Updated for the current pattern: BPSC Prelims now carries negative marking of 1/3 (0.33) per wrong answer (since the 70th CCE). For the 72nd exam, every question must get a response — mark Option E (“Not Attempted”) to skip without penalty; a fully blank answer is penalised. Many sites still show the outdated “no negative marking” — our mocks use the correct scheme.
