This page on wbpscupsc.com is arranged as a single preparation hub for WBP Excise Constable Prelim aspirants:

• Subject-wise previous year questions — History, Geography, Arithmetic, Reasoning, Polity, Bengali, General Knowledge & Current Affairs, English
• A dedicated Mock Tests section on our sister platform
• An FAQ block covering both this page and the exam itself

Everything an aspirant needs for this exam sits in one place, instead of being scattered across many sites.

No. Every subject-wise previous year question here is completely free, across all nine subjects — History, Geography, Arithmetic, Reasoning, Polity, Bengali, General Knowledge & Current Affairs, English. No sign-up, no fee, no restriction.

Our mock test platform, wbcsmocktest.com, runs a mixed model — some tests are free and a few are paid for candidates who want deeper practice.

Very much so — wbpscupsc.com is built with Bengali-medium and West Bengal-based aspirants in mind, since the Excise Constable Prelim itself tests Bengali or Nepali language proficiency.

The subject-wise pages are laid out so revision stays quick and clear, whichever medium you’re more comfortable studying in.

A mixed list makes it hard to tell where your actual weak spots are. That’s why this page separates Excise Constable Prelim PYQs into History, Geography, Arithmetic, Reasoning, Polity, Bengali, General Knowledge & Current Affairs, English.

This way you can drill one topic at a time, track your accuracy subject by subject, and skip re-solving what you’ve already mastered.

Yes, in the Mock Tests block just below the subject buttons:

• Practice – PYQs: sets built from actual Excise Constable Prelim previous year questions on wbcsmocktest.com
• Mock Tests: timed, full-length practice sets on the same platform

PYQ practice on wbpscupsc.com always stays free; the mock test platform mixes free and paid options.

No PDF or file downloads are offered on this page. wbpscupsc.com is built around direct online practice — open any subject page on your phone or laptop and start solving instantly, with nothing to save or manage.

A few things set it apart:

• A genuine subject-wise split, not one long jumbled question list
• 100% free access with no sign-up
• Content built with Bengali-speaking aspirants in mind
• Answers included with every question
• Regularly refreshed as new exam cycles come up

Bookmarking this page keeps your revision organized in one place.

Right here — organized by History, Geography, Arithmetic, Reasoning, Polity, Bengali, General Knowledge & Current Affairs, English.

Subject-wise practice matters for this exam in particular because it shows you which General Awareness topics repeat most, how the questions are usually framed, and which subject is quietly dragging your score down — all without spending a rupee.

Yes.

• New previous year questions are added as they surface
• Exam details are revised whenever WBPRB releases fresh official information

Aspirants preparing for this cycle should bookmark the page and check back periodically for newly added content.

For most aspirants, yes:

• Weak topics surface immediately instead of staying hidden in a mixed set
• Repeated question patterns within a subject become easier to spot
• Revision after practice is focused rather than scattered
• Confidence in one subject carries momentum into the next

That’s the reasoning behind organizing every Excise Constable Prelim subject separately on this page.

We stay active across a few channels so nothing important slips past you:

• Facebook Page — exam news and new question sets
• Facebook Group — a community for doubts and shared prep strategies
• Telegram Group — instant alerts on new PYQs and exam news
• YouTube Channel — video guidance
• WhatsApp Support — direct help from our team

Joining these keeps you a step ahead as fresh Excise Constable updates go out daily.

This page is built around the Prelim stage specifically. Since General Awareness, Arithmetic, and Reasoning also carry weight in the Main exam, the same subject-wise practice here gives you a useful head start — though Main-specific practice (English, Elementary Mathematics at a higher level) is covered separately.

The WBP Excise Constable recruitment is conducted by the West Bengal Police Recruitment Board (WBPRB) to fill Excise Constable (including Lady Excise Constable) posts under the West Bengal Police Department.

Selected candidates work under the state’s excise enforcement setup, handling duties related to enforcement of excise laws across the state.

Selection generally runs through these stages, in order:

1. Preliminary Written Exam
2. Physical Measurement Test (PMT)
3. Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
4. Main Written Exam
5. Interview
6. Document Verification and Medical Examination

Only candidates clearing one stage are called for the next.

The Prelim is an objective, MCQ-based screening test:

• Duration: 60 minutes
• 100 questions, 100 marks total
• Bengali/Nepali Language Test — 50 questions, 50 marks
• General Awareness & Reasoning — 50 questions, 50 marks

Clearing this stage qualifies a candidate for the Physical Measurement Test and Physical Efficiency Test.

Yes. Half the Prelim paper — 50 of the 100 marks — is a Bengali or Nepali Language Test, so candidates should not treat this as a minor section. Regular reading and grammar revision in the chosen language matters just as much as General Awareness prep.

The Main exam runs for 90 minutes and carries 90 questions for 90 marks, split as:

• General Awareness & General Knowledge — 30 marks
• General English — 30 marks
• Elementary Mathematics — 20 marks
• Reasoning — 10 marks

Candidates should always cross-check the current weightage with the latest official notification, since patterns can be revised between recruitment cycles.

Negative marking rules for state-level constable-rank exams typically apply to wrong answers, but the exact deduction for this specific post should always be confirmed from the official WBPRB notification, since this detail is periodically revised. Practising with accuracy in mind, rather than attempting every question blindly, is a safe approach regardless of the exact rule.

Yes — both a Physical Measurement Test (PMT), checking height, weight, and chest measurement, and a Physical Efficiency Test (PET), checking running and general fitness. Only candidates who clear the Prelim are called for these physical rounds, and only those who clear both move on to the Main exam.

Yes. After clearing the Main written exam, shortlisted candidates are called for an Interview, followed by document verification and a medical examination before final selection.

Across Prelim and Main, the syllabus generally spans:

• Bengali or Nepali Language — grammar, literature, and language fundamentals
• General Awareness & General Knowledge — history, geography, polity, economy, science, and current affairs
• General English
• Elementary Mathematics
• Reasoning

Since General Awareness alone spans many subjects, splitting it into History, Geography, Reasoning, Polity, Bengali, General Knowledge & Current Affairs, English for separate practice makes revision far more structured.

History-linked questions here mostly appear as general-awareness facts rather than deep analytical ones — important dates, well-known personalities, and events from Indian history that also feed into current affairs and culture-based questions. Steady PYQ practice usually covers the level this exam expects.

Geography questions generally draw from:

• Geography of India — states, rivers, and physical features
• Famous places in India
• India’s neighbouring countries

This is usually a scoring section with simple, fact-based revision.

Science-related questions stay at a general-awareness level and typically touch on:

• Scientific observations and everyday science facts
• New inventions and discoveries

No specialized science background is required — a light, factual revision is enough.

Polity-linked questions generally draw from Political Science basics and World Organizations — the structure of Indian governance, key constitutional facts, and major international bodies. A light revision of core concepts is usually enough for this level.

The Economy portion typically draws from economic problems in India — basic economic concepts, challenges, and government schemes at a general-awareness level, not technical economics. A short set of core facts usually covers this section well.

General Knowledge here is fairly broad and includes topics such as:

• National dance, music, and literature
• Indian culture
• Books and authors
• Countries and capitals

This range makes it one of the sections where wide, varied reading pays off more than narrow rote learning.

Current Affairs is a regular feature of the General Awareness section and typically covers national and international current affairs from recent months. A daily newspaper habit alongside a short revision notebook remains the most reliable way to stay prepared here.

Elementary Mathematics generally covers number sense, basic geometry, ratios, proportions, and simple data representation. Reasoning draws on topics like Venn diagrams, blood relations, coding-decoding, number and alphabet series, and analogy-type questions.

Since the Main exam gives Elementary Mathematics more weight than Reasoning, timed practice on numerical topics tends to pay off more here.

Basic eligibility generally includes:

• Nationality: Indian citizen
• Language: Ability to read, write, and speak Bengali or Nepali
• Educational Qualification and physical standards as specified in the official notification for this post

Always confirm the exact requirements against the latest official WBPRB notification before applying.

General category candidates are typically expected to be between 18 and 27 years of age as on the cut-off date given in the notification, with standard age relaxation for reserved categories as per government rules. Exact figures should always be confirmed from the official notification.

The pay scale for this constable-rank post follows the pay matrix notified for West Bengal Police constabulary posts, along with standard allowances such as DA and HRA. Since pay structures are revised from time to time, candidates should confirm the exact current figures from the official pay notification rather than relying on older estimates.

The Prelim’s language paper is available in Bengali or Nepali, as chosen by the candidate, while the General Awareness, Reasoning, English, and Mathematics sections generally follow the medium specified in the official notification. Bengali proficiency being part of the eligibility criteria makes this exam approachable for most West Bengal candidates.

Applications are accepted online only, through the official WBPRB portal at wbpolice.gov.in. Applications by post, email, or any other mode are not accepted. Candidates typically register, fill in personal and educational details, upload photo and signature as specified, and pay the application fee before the deadline.

The overall difficulty is broadly comparable to WBP Constable, since both are single-exam-plus-physical-test posts with no descriptive Mains stage of the kind seen in the Police SI exam. What sets Excise Constable apart is the heavier weight given to the language paper in the Prelim itself. Consistent subject-wise practice and physical fitness preparation both matter equally here.

A practical strategy for this exam:

1. Get the Prelim and Main exam pattern clear first — note how marks are split between language and General Awareness
2. Practice subject-wise previous year questions on wbpscupsc.com — History, Geography, Arithmetic, Reasoning, Polity, Bengali, General Knowledge & Current Affairs, English
3. Revise Bengali or Nepali language basics alongside General Awareness, since the language paper carries equal weight in the Prelim
4. Start physical fitness preparation early, since PMT and PET are mandatory stages
5. Take regular mock tests to build speed and manage time within the 60-minute limit
6. Read a daily newspaper for Current Affairs instead of last-minute cramming

Bottom line: balanced daily practice across the language paper, General Awareness, and physical fitness together works far better than revising everything at the last minute.
