Everything you need to revise for ICDS in one scroll: subject-wise previous year questions across History, Geography, General Knowledge, Mathematics, Science, Polity & Economics and Reasoning, links to Practice PYQs and full Mock Tests, and a detailed FAQ list on both this page and the actual ICDS recruitment. No hunting across multiple posts.

No cost at all. Every subject button opens free content on wbpscupsc.com — no login, no payment wall. The timed Mock Tests on wbcsmocktest.com run on a free-plus-paid model, in case you want the exam-simulated experience.

History, Geography, General Knowledge, Mathematics, Science, Polity & Economics, and Reasoning — mirroring the spread of topics that actually show up under the General Knowledge and Arithmetic sections of the ICDS written exam, so you can drill your weakest area on its own instead of one long mixed question dump.

Yes — every previous year question carries its correct answer, and the content is reviewed and corrected as needed so you’re not memorising a wrong option by mistake.

The subject buttons above give you untimed, subject-isolated previous year questions to build topic strength. The Mock Tests link takes you to wbcsmocktest.com for timed, full-length sets built on the actual ICDS exam pattern — closer to a real exam-day rehearsal.

Whenever fresh ICDS papers, corrections, or official notification changes come in. Since ICDS recruitment cycles don’t run every year, this page is revisited and refreshed rather than left static, so bookmark it and check back rather than saving a one-time copy.

It’s built mobile-first, since most aspirants revise on their phone between classes or commutes. Buttons, FAQ accordions, and question layouts all resize for smaller screens without needing to zoom or scroll sideways.

Follow whichever fits your habits — updates go out on all of them together:

• Facebook Page — new questions and exam news
• Facebook Group — peer discussion and doubt-solving
• Telegram Group — instant alerts on new PYQs
• YouTube Channel — video walkthroughs
• WhatsApp Support — message us directly with a doubt

No account, no registration form. Click any subject button and the questions open directly — the only place you might see a login screen is inside the paid tier of the separate Mock Test platform, and even that has a free entry point.

ICDS is one of several exam pages here — wbpscupsc.com also carries subject-wise previous year papers for other WBPSC and West Bengal government recruitment exams. Worth exploring if you’re also eyeing a related post.

Random forwarded PDFs rarely have verified answers or any organisation. Here you get questions sorted by subject, checked answers, a page kept current with new notifications, and a direct line to the team through WhatsApp or the Facebook group if something looks off.

ICDS is short for Integrated Child Development Services, a Government of India welfare scheme run through Anganwadi Centres, covering nutrition, health check-ups, immunisation, and early education for children and expectant/nursing mothers. In West Bengal it falls under the Department of Women & Child Development and Social Welfare.

The West Bengal Public Service Commission (WBPSC) conducts the written exam for ICDS Supervisor recruitment, under the Department of Women & Child Development and Social Welfare, Government of West Bengal.

Supervisor	Graduate-level post, written exam conducted by WBPSC
Worker	Anganwadi-level post, screening includes GK, Bengali, arithmetic and child nutrition awareness
Helper / Cook	Support-level posts under the same ICDS structure

This page’s practice material is built around the Supervisor-level General Knowledge and Arithmetic pattern.

No. ICDS Supervisor recruitment is open to female candidates only, in line with the nature of the scheme and its focus on women and child welfare work at Anganwadi Centres.

A Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognised university is the standard requirement for the Supervisor post — no specific subject stream is mandated.

Generally yes — candidates are expected to be able to read, write, and speak Bengali, given the grassroots nature of the Supervisor role, with the usual exception made for candidates whose mother tongue is Nepali in hill areas.

Past cycles have kept the general-category range around 18 to 39 years as on the notification’s cut-off date, with SC/ST/OBC/PwD and other reserved categories getting the standard government relaxation on top. This resets with every fresh notification, so treat it as indicative, not final.

Three stages in sequence — a qualifying Preliminary Examination, followed by a scored Written (Mains) Examination, and finally a Personality Test / Viva-Voce for those who clear the Mains cut-off. Final merit is drawn from the combined Mains and Viva score, not the Prelims.

The Preliminary stage is an objective, MCQ-based screening test carrying 100 marks, and is generally treated as qualifying in nature — it decides who advances to Mains rather than contributing directly to the final merit score.

Reports on the Mains paper vary by cycle, but candidates are generally given around 90 minutes per descriptive paper, with sections covering English, Bengali, General Knowledge, and Mathematics/Reasoning. Always cross-check the exact split against the current notification rather than an older one.

The Personality Test / Viva-Voce has been reported to carry around 50 marks, added to the Mains score to prepare the final merit list. Don’t treat this stage as a formality — it’s a real chunk of your total score.

General Knowledge, Arithmetic, Reasoning, English, and Bengali make up the core syllabus. That’s exactly why this page breaks General Knowledge further into History, Geography, Science, and Polity & Economics — so each weak spot can be practiced on its own instead of blending everything together.

Indian History, Indian and World Geography, Economy, Political Science, Science & Technology, plus current affairs and recent government schemes and agreements — broadly the same spread you’ll find split across the History, Geography, Science, and Polity & Economics buttons on this page.

Profit & Loss, Discount, Percentages, Averages, Ratio & Proportion, Number Series, Time & Work, and Time & Distance come up repeatedly, pitched roughly at a Class X difficulty level rather than anything advanced.

Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, Venn Diagrams, basic Logic, Coding-Decoding, and Number Series-type puzzles form the bulk of this section — steady daily practice tends to help more here than last-minute revision.

Yes, it’s lighter — the Worker exam is generally built around Bengali Language, General Knowledge & Current Affairs, Arithmetic & Numerical Ability, and Child Development & Nutrition Awareness, without the graduate-level breadth expected of Supervisor candidates. Helper-level screening trims it down further to basic Bengali, GK, and arithmetic.

Pay Level	Level 10 of the West Bengal ROPA pay matrix
Post Category	Group C, State Government (permanent)
Gross Salary	Roughly Rs. 27,000–42,000 per month depending on the source cited, before promotions

Figures reported across sources vary noticeably cycle to cycle, so treat these as a broad range rather than an exact number — the official notification’s pay clause is the only figure to rely on when applying.

Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and Medical Allowance are added as per standard West Bengal government rules, which is why the in-hand figure usually runs above the basic pay quoted in most notifications.

Promotion generally follows a seniority-based route, sometimes tied to a departmental examination, moving Supervisors into senior administrative roles within the Department of Women & Child Development and Social Welfare over time.

A Supervisor oversees multiple Anganwadi Centres in her assigned area: monitoring nutrition delivery, tracking immunisation and health check-up schedules, guiding Anganwadi Workers and Helpers, implementing women-empowerment schemes, and reporting on child welfare indicators to the department — a mix of field visits and administrative reporting.

Applications go in online only, through the official WBPSC portal (psc.wb.gov.in) once the notification is released — you register, fill in educational and personal details, upload your photo and signature to spec, and pay the fee before the deadline.

No — a nominal fee applies for general/OBC candidates, while SC/ST candidates are typically fully exempt, in line with usual WBPSC practice. The exact amount is set fresh with each notification, so verify it there rather than assuming an older cycle’s fee still applies.

Numbers swing widely by cycle depending on state requirement — recent reports around the 2026 notification cycle have floated figures near 16,000 across Supervisor, Cook, and Helper posts combined, but this is unconfirmed until the detailed official notification is out, so don’t plan your strategy around an unofficial number.

A rhythm that tends to work:

1. Get the Prelims-Mains-Viva structure and qualifying nature of Prelims clear first, so effort is spent where it counts
2. Rotate practice daily across GK-linked subjects on this page, Arithmetic, and Reasoning
3. Give Bengali and English their own slot rather than treating them as an afterthought
4. Take timed mock sets from wbcsmocktest.com to build speed under real exam conditions
5. Keep a running current-affairs and government-scheme notebook, since GK questions lean on recent developments

Because ICDS cycles are irregular, previous year paper practice carries more weight here than in exams held every year.
