This Commission page gives a high-level prelims and mains syllabus for the BPSC Combined Competitive Examination. It is not a complete chapter list and does not cover every BPSC recruitment. The 72nd CCE 2026 advertisement is separately published at https://bpsc.bihar.gov.in/wp-content/uploads/BPSC_content/Notices/Advertisement-Integrated-72th-CCE-PT_BPSC-20260505-p1euvo.pdf; use that notice and later corrigenda for the actual cycle. The 72nd notice was checked but does not itself supply this detailed subject list. Do not treat these overview points as an exact 72nd mock blueprint.
