BPSC TRE Science Syllabus Class 9-10: Topics & Weightage

BPSC TRE Science Syllabus Class 9-10: What It Covers

The BPSC TRE science syllabus class 9-10 covers Physics, Chemistry, Biology and science pedagogy, all tested at Class 9-10 (NCERT) level in the Secondary Teacher's Concerned Subject paper. The Science section carries the single largest share of marks in the paper, so most of your prep time should go into chapter-wise Physics, Chemistry and Biology practice, with pedagogy as a smaller but scoring add-on. Start with the free mock test to see exactly where your chapter-wise preparation stands before you build a revision schedule.

This guide splits the syllabus into Physics, Chemistry, Biology and pedagogy, flags the chapters that have historically carried the most questions, and links the official BPSC pages for dates so you prepare from verified information rather than guesswork. For full details on posts, eligibility and the application timeline, see the BPSC TRE 4.0 Class 9-10 Science exam page.

BPSC TRE 4.0 Class 9-10 Science: Exam Pattern

Across earlier TRE phases, BPSC has used the same three-part paper for Class 9-10 posts — a qualifying Language section, General Studies, and the Concerned Subject (Science). The table below shows this established pattern. Always cross-check the exact, TRE 4.0-specific marks split against the subject-wise syllabus document on BPSC's official syllabus page before you finalise your plan, since a separate TRE 4.0 marks breakdown for Class 9-10 was not available on an accessible official page at the time of writing.

In earlier cycles, only Part III (Science) counted toward merit, while Language was qualifying only. Confirm this for TRE 4.0 once BPSC publishes the subject-wise annexure for Class 9-10 posts.

Physics Topics in the BPSC TRE 4.0 Class 9-10 Science Syllabus

Physics questions are drawn from the Class 9-10 NCERT framework: Motion; Force and Laws of Motion; Gravitation; Work, Energy and Power; Sound; Electricity and circuits; Magnetic Effects of Electric Current; and Light – Reflection and Refraction. Numerical-based chapters such as Motion, Electricity and Work-Energy-Power are worth practising with formula-based MCQs, since these topics repeat across every TRE cycle.

Chemistry Topics in the BPSC TRE Class 9-10 Science Syllabus

Chemistry covers Matter in Our Surroundings, Is Matter Around Us Pure, Atoms and Molecules, Structure of the Atom, Chemical Reactions and Equations, Acids, Bases and Salts, Metals and Non-metals, and Carbon and Its Compounds. Reaction-type identification (Acids-Bases-Salts and Chemical Reactions) and the Periodic Table-linked questions from Metals and Non-metals tend to return the most questions, so keep reaction equations and their everyday examples on your revision list.

Biology Topics for the BPSC TRE Secondary Teacher Science Paper

Biology spans the Cell and its structure, Tissues, Diversity in Living Organisms, Life Processes (nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion), Control and Coordination, How do Organisms Reproduce, Heredity and Evolution, Our Environment, and Natural Resource Management. Life Processes and Control and Coordination are diagram- and function-heavy chapters that are frequently tested, so practise labelled diagrams alongside the text.

Science Pedagogy Syllabus for BPSC TRE Class 9-10

Beyond Physics, Chemistry and Biology content, the paper also tests science pedagogy — the nature and structure of science as a discipline, aims and objectives of teaching science, methods and approaches (lecture, demonstration, laboratory, project-based learning), the science curriculum and textbooks, use of teaching aids and ICT, continuous and comprehensive evaluation, and common misconceptions in science learning. Pedagogy questions are fewer than content questions but are usually easier to score once you know the standard terminology, so don't skip this part while focusing only on Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

Which Chapters Carry the Most Questions in BPSC TRE Science?

Based on how earlier TRE papers have been set, certain chapters consistently draw more questions than others across Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Use the table below to prioritise revision when time is short.

If you are mapping the BPSC TRE science syllabus class 9-10 chapter by chapter, start revision with these high-yield chapters, then move to the rest of the NCERT list once your basics are solid.

How to Practise the BPSC TRE 4.0 Science Syllabus Class 9-10

Reading the syllabus is only half the job — timed practice on exam-style MCQs is what converts topic knowledge into marks. The BPSC TRE 4.0 Science (Class 9–10) Mock Test Series has 90 tests and 3,206 questions in Hindi and English, with solutions, so you can practise Physics, Chemistry, Biology and pedagogy chapter-wise and then move to full-length mocks that mirror the exam pattern. If you also teach or are preparing for the Social Science paper, the BPSC TRE 4.0 Class 9-10 Social Science syllabus guide and the related Social Science mock test post cover that paper in the same format. For the full TRE 4.0 picture across Classes 1-12, see the complete BPSC TRE 4.0 guide.

BPSC TRE 4.0 Class 9-10 Science: Important Dates (Official)

• Application fee payment: last date 02.11.2026, as per BPSC's official notice dated 26.10.2026.
• Final online submission: extended to 03.11.2026, as per the same official BPSC notice.
• Vacancies: 32,388 posts are listed under TRE 4.0 on the official BPSC Exam Calendar; a separate break-up for Class 9-10 Science alone has not been published on an accessible official page.
• Exam (PT) date: not yet announced — the official exam calendar states the date "shall be published after completion of the advertisement period."
• Admit card, answer key, result: not announced as of 30 October 2026.

Since the exam date isn't out yet, this is the right time to build your chapter-wise base. Start with the free mock test today, track your weak chapters, and use the remaining weeks before the official date announcement to clear them one by one.

FAQs

What is the BPSC TRE science syllabus for Class 9-10?

It covers Physics, Chemistry and Biology at Class 9-10 (NCERT) level, plus science pedagogy — teaching methods, curriculum and evaluation — tested in the Concerned Subject section of the Secondary Teacher paper.

How many questions come from Physics, Chemistry and Biology in the BPSC TRE science paper?

BPSC has not published a separate subject-wise split for Physics, Chemistry and Biology within the Science section, so prepare all three fairly evenly rather than skipping any one of them.

Is NCERT enough for BPSC TRE 4.0 Class 9-10 science?

NCERT Class 9 and 10 textbooks form the core of the content syllabus, but you also need to revise science pedagogy separately, since that part is not covered in the NCERT textbooks.

Does the BPSC TRE science paper have negative marking?

This was not confirmed on an accessible official BPSC page at the time of writing, so check the detailed TRE 4.0 notification on bpsc.bihar.gov.in for the confirmed marking scheme before the exam.

When is the BPSC TRE 4.0 exam for Class 9-10 science?

The exam date has not been announced yet; BPSC's official exam calendar states the PT date will be published only after the advertisement period ends, while the application fee deadline is 02.11.2026 and final submission 03.11.2026.
