BCS Exam Analysis
When we look at the BCS exam curriculum, we can see that not all subjects from the BCS Preliminary syllabus are included in the BCS Written curriculum. There are 10 subjects for the BCS Preliminary exam, of which only 8 are chosen for the BCS Written exam.
The BCS Written Syllabus does not include the topics 'Geography, Environment, and Disaster Management and 'Ethics, Values, and Good Governance' from the BCS Preliminary Syllabus.
As a result, when studying for the BCS test, these subjects should be given little emphasis.
Again, while 8 subjects from the BCS Preliminary syllabus are retained in the BCS Written syllabus, not all of the concepts in those particular courses from the BCS Preliminary syllabus are retained in the BCS Written syllabus.
As a result, applicants should prioritize the subjects and concepts of the BCS Preliminary syllabus that are the same as or comparable to the subjects and topics of the BCS Written syllabus.
Not all topics on the BCS Syllabus should be treated similarly.
If you go at the Syllabus and questions of earlier BPSC BCS exams, you'll see that the majority of the questions are repeated from a few areas in the relevant topics.
As a result, you should prioritize the areas identified as significant by examining the questionnaires from past BCS exams.
