The West Bengal Public Service Commission (WBPSC) conducts recruitment for Motor Vehicles Inspector posts under the Transport Department, Government of West Bengal. Notifications for Technical and Non-Technical posts are usually issued separately, under their own advertisement numbers.

Both fall under the same Transport Department cadre, but the exams differ:

• Technical — tests automobile engineering, mechanics, and vehicle-related technical knowledge
• Non-Technical — tests Reasoning & Arithmetic, General Knowledge, and English, with administrative and regulatory duties rather than hands-on mechanical inspection

This page is focused entirely on the Non-Technical (N-T) side.

Selected candidates join the Transport Department, Government of West Bengal, handling regulatory and administrative work tied to motor vehicle rules across the state.

Candidates generally need a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognized university. Unlike the Technical post, no engineering or automobile-specific qualification is required for Non-Technical.

Yes — candidates are usually expected to be able to read, write, and speak Bengali, since the role involves day-to-day administrative work within West Bengal’s Transport Department.

Recent cycles have set the general-category age band at roughly 18 to 39 years as on the notification’s cut-off date. This figure is reset with every fresh notification, so confirm it against the current one before applying.

Yes, the usual government-prescribed relaxation applies for OBC, SC, ST, PwD, and Ex-servicemen candidates, on top of the general upper age limit. Check the specific number of years against the latest official notification.

Just two stages:

1. Written Examination — objective/MCQ type
2. Personality Test / Interview — for candidates shortlisted on the basis of written exam rank

Final selection is based on combined performance across both stages.

No. Unlike uniformed field posts, MVI (Non-Technical) selection has no PMT or PET — it’s purely a written exam followed by a personality test, since the role is administrative and regulatory rather than field-patrol based.

The written paper is objective (MCQ) type and is typically split into two parts — Part-I with 75 questions covering Reasoning, Arithmetic, and General Knowledge, and Part-II with 25 questions built around English. Treat the exact split as indicative and cross-check with the current notification.

The written paper generally runs for around 1.5 hours. Given the number of questions across both parts, time management matters as much as accuracy.

The core syllabus centres on Reasoning & Arithmetic, General Knowledge, and English. That’s why this page’s subject buttons let you drill General Knowledge-adjacent areas — History, Geography, Science, Economics, Polity, CA — alongside core Reasoning, Arithmetic and English practice, all in one place.

Yes, category-wise qualifying marks are set separately for the objective (MCQ) part and the English section, with a lower threshold for OBC/SC and a further lower one for ST candidates compared to the general/unreserved category. Always verify the exact cut-offs in the current notification rather than an older cycle.

The English portion has historically leaned toward précis-style and comprehension-based questions rather than pure vocabulary drills, alongside standard grammar and usage. It carries its own separate qualifying mark, so it can’t be skipped even if you’re strong elsewhere.

Candidates who clear the written exam and rank within the shortlist are called for a Personality Test / Interview, which assesses overall suitability for an administrative, regulatory role in the Transport Department. This is the final step before the merit list is drawn up.

Pay Level	Level 10 of the West Bengal pay matrix
Basic Pay	Around Rs. 40,900 per month
Post Category	Group B, State Government

On top of the basic pay, HRA, TA, DA, medical allowance, insurance, PF, and ESI benefits are added as per government rules, so the in-hand figure runs higher than the basic pay alone.

Typical additions include House Rent Allowance (HRA), Travel Allowance (TA), Dearness Allowance (DA), Medical Allowance, insurance, Provident Fund (PF), and ESI benefits — standard for a West Bengal state government Group B post.

Yes — newly appointed candidates are usually placed on probation for about 1 year, or as prescribed by the department, and continue to draw salary during this period.

It’s considered a Group B, State Government post — a solid entry point into West Bengal’s administrative cadre for graduates from any discipline.

Like most West Bengal state government cadre posts, promotion moves through seniority-based and departmental promotion routes to senior Motor Vehicles Inspector and higher administrative grades within the Transport Department over time.

Applications are accepted online only, through the official WBPSC portal (psc.wb.gov.in). You register, fill in educational and personal details, upload photo and signature as per spec, and pay the application fee before the deadline.

Yes, a nominal application fee is charged for general/OBC candidates. The exact amount is fixed fresh with each notification, so check the current one rather than an older cycle’s figure.

Yes — SC/ST candidates are typically fully exempt from the application fee, in line with standard WBPSC recruitment practice. Confirm the exact exemption categories in the current notification.

A recent passport-size photograph and a clear signature scan, within the file-size and dimension limits stated in that year’s application instructions, are needed at registration. Mismatched specs are a common reason applications get stuck — double-check before hitting submit.

Vacancy counts vary each cycle depending on government requirement in the Transport Department, and aren’t always announced alongside the short notice. The exact number is confirmed only in the detailed WBPRB/WBPSC notification for that recruitment year.

WBPSC has conducted MVI exams in past cycles including 2018, 2019, 2020, and more recently in November 2025. Gaps between cycles can run a few years, so solving all available previous year papers matters more here than for annually-held exams.

Separately — WBPSC typically issues two distinct short notifications with their own advertisement numbers, one for Technical and one for Non-Technical, even though both are released around the same time and fall under the same Transport Department.

The role is largely administrative and regulatory rather than hands-on mechanical inspection:

• Enforcing Motor Vehicles Act rules and regulations
• Handling documentation, permits, and registration-related compliance
• Administrative supervision within the Transport Department
• Coordinating with Technical MVIs on inspection schedules

It’s an office and field-mixed regulatory post rather than a purely mechanical one.

Expect a mix of Alphabet Series, Number Series, Arithmetical Reasoning, Coding-Decoding, Embedded Figures, Statements & Conclusions, Clocks & Calendars, Decision Making, Directions, and Non-Verbal Series. Regular daily practice pays off faster here than one-time cramming.

Common areas include percentage, ratio and proportion, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, average, time-speed-distance, and simplification — pitched at a straightforward, school-to-graduate level rather than advanced mathematics.

GK for this exam leans on Indian History, Geography, Polity, Economy, basic Science facts, and current affairs — exactly why this page splits practice across History, Geography, Science, Economics, Polity, and CA buttons individually, so weak spots show up clearly.

A workable rhythm many aspirants follow:

1. Lock down the Part-I/Part-II split and qualifying-mark structure first
2. Rotate daily practice across Reasoning, Arithmetic, English, and the GK-linked subjects on this page
3. Give English its own dedicated slot, since it carries a separate qualifying mark
4. Take timed mock sets to build exam-day speed and accuracy together
5. Keep a running current-affairs notebook rather than cramming close to the exam

Since MVI (N-T) cycles don’t come around every year, thorough previous year paper practice matters more here than in annually-held exams.
