BPSC TRE Class 6 to 8 Syllabus: Maths & Science Pattern

Little time left? Here is the BPSC TRE class 6 to 8 syllabus in short

If you are chasing the Class 6-8 Maths and Science post while juggling a job, tuition or family duties, the bpsc tre class 6 to 8 syllabus is smaller and more predictable than it feels. The paper has 150 questions in 2 hours 30 minutes: Part I Language (30 questions, qualifying), Part II General Studies (40 questions) and Part III Mathematics & Science (80 questions). Your merit rides on Part III.

So the smart move is simple: clear the language part, do not ignore General Studies, and spend most of your effort on middle-school Maths and Science. To see where you stand today, start with the free mock test and note the topics that trip you up. You can also keep the Class 6-8 Maths & Science exam page open for quick reference.

One timing point first: applications for BPSC TRE 4.0 are open now. As per the official BPSC notice dated 26 October 2026, the fee-payment last date is 2 November 2026 and the final online submission date is 3 November 2026. If you have not filled the form yet, do that first — today.

BPSC TRE 6-8 exam pattern: how many questions and marks?

The paper is one objective (MCQ) test. Here is the official structure, taken from BPSC's own Class 6-8 question booklets and answer keys.

Part	Section	Questions	Marks	Counts for merit?
Part I	Language (Hindi & English)	Q1-30	30	No — only qualifying
Part II	General Studies	Q31-70	40	Yes
Part III	Mathematics & Science	Q71-150	80	Yes
Total	150	150	2 hrs 30 min

Each question carries five options (A to E). The language part is only qualifying, which means you must pass it but its marks are not added to your merit. For the exact qualifying cut-off, the marking scheme and any penalty, read the official BPSC exam calendar and notification — I will not guess numbers here.

What this means for you: do not spend weeks on language. As a Bihar Hindi-medium student you can usually clear it with light revision. Put that saved time into Part III, where 80 of your 120 scoring marks sit.

Which Maths topics come in the Class 6-8 paper?

The Maths portion stays at the NCERT and Bihar Board middle-school level (roughly Class 6 to 8), but you must know it well enough to teach it. The notification does not fix topic-wise marks, so the table below is an indicative weight based on past TRE papers and how often each topic sits in the Class 6-8 curriculum. Use it to plan your order of study, not as an official count. Roughly, the 80 Part III questions split about half Maths and half Science.

Maths topic	Indicative questions (of ~40)
Number system, factors & multiples, fractions, decimals	8
Ratio, proportion, percentage, profit & loss, simple interest	8
Algebra: expressions, linear equations, exponents & powers	8
Geometry & mensuration: lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, area, volume	10
Data handling & basic statistics	6

What to do with this: start with the heavy pair — geometry/mensuration and arithmetic (percentage, interest, profit-loss). These repeat the most and the formulas are fixed, so marks come fast once you practise them.

Which Science topics should you focus on?

Science covers Physics, Chemistry and Biology at middle-school depth, plus environment. Again, the split below is indicative, not official.

Science area	Topics	Indicative questions (of ~40)
Physics	Motion & measurement, force, friction, light, sound, heat, electric current	12
Chemistry	Matter & its states, acids-bases-salts, metals & non-metals, materials, combustion & flame	12
Biology	Nutrition in plants & animals, cell, microorganisms, reproduction, body systems, crop production	12
Environment	Water, air, forests & wildlife, pollution, conservation of natural resources	4

What to do with this: Biology has the most fact-based questions, so it is the quickest to score if you revise NCERT lines. For Physics, understand the concept once and then solve numericals; do not just memorise.

How should you practise Maths & Science without wasting time?

Knowing the syllabus is step one. Marks come from practice under the clock. Let me name the struggles I see most and a plain fix for each.

• "I forget formulas." Make one A4 formula sheet for mensuration, interest, exponents and light/electricity, and revise it before every mock.
• "Science feels too big." Study by NCERT chapter — one chapter a day — and take a short topic test the same evening so it sticks.
• "I run out of time in the exam." Practise full 150-question mocks in 2 hours 30 minutes so speed becomes a habit, not a shock on exam day.

A graded set of mocks makes this easy. The BPSC TRE 4.0 Class 6-8 Maths & Science mock test series has 60 tests with detailed solutions in Hindi and English, so after each test you can see exactly which topic cost you marks and fix it before the next one.

If you are also helping yourself across the wider recruitment, the complete BPSC TRE 4.0 guide to posts, papers and pattern is worth a read, and if you aim higher later, the BPSC TRE Science syllabus for Class 9-10 shows how the topics grow.

Your one step for today

Do just one thing now: open the free mock test, finish it in one sitting, and circle every topic you got wrong. Then move into the full mock test series and clear those weak topics one by one. Honest practice, a little every day, is what turns this syllabus into marks — no shortcuts, but no mystery either.
