ЁЯУЭ Syllabus & Exam Pattern
The BPSC TRE 4.0 exam is an offline, objective-type (MCQ) test. One of the biggest updates candidates need to be aware of is the negative marking—there is a deduction of 1/3rd of a mark for every incorrect answer. Each question will have 5 options (A, B, C, D, E), and leaving a question completely unattempted will also attract negative marking, so you must select option (E) if you wish to skip it!

Part I - Language (30 Marks): English and Hindi/Urdu/Bangla. (Qualifying nature: Must score at least 30%).
