BPSC is a long cycle — Prelims, a descriptive Mains, and an interview, spread across months. The syllabus looks like UPSC's from a distance, but the exam that decides your rank is the Bihar-specific material and the descriptive papers, and those are exactly the parts candidates postpone.

Lighthouse Prep keeps them in your daily routine.

How the planner builds your BPSC plan

You tell it:

  • The exam you're preparing for
  • Your exam date
  • How many hours a day you can study, and when you usually study

The AI builds a daily routine of timed sessions across national General Studies, Bihar-specific GS and current affairs, weighted towards the topics that appear most in previous papers. Add essay practice and General Hindi as sessions of your own.

A typical BPSC study day

  • Morning session — one national GS subject in depth (Polity, History, Geography, Economy).
  • Bihar-specific block — state history, geography, economy or schemes, every day rather than saved for the end.
  • Current affairs — 30–45 minutes, national plus Bihar.
  • Descriptive practice — essay or answer writing, depending on the week.
  • Lighter session — General Hindi, or revision of an older topic.

Each session has a topic and a duration. You start the timer, study, and the timer stops itself when the session is done.

Spaced revision across a long cycle

The reason strong candidates miss Prelims is rarely effort — it's that a topic studied in month two is gone by month eight.

Lighthouse Prep brings every topic you study back after 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days, with a harder question each time. By the time you sit the paper, what you covered early is still there.

  • Your own sessions — add essay practice, answer writing or General Hindi; they run on the same timer and count towards your study hours.
  • Spaced revision — automatic, no manual scheduling.
  • Focus timer — measures real study time, not time at the desk.

Frequently asked questions

Does it cover Bihar-specific General Studies?
Yes. The plan is built from BPSC's own pattern and previous papers, so Bihar history, geography, economy and state affairs are part of it, and you can add more Bihar-specific sessions yourself. This is where most BPSC candidates lose marks, so don't let those sessions slide.
How does it handle the General Hindi paper?
General Hindi is qualifying but still costs candidates the exam every year. Add it as a short session in your daily routine — frequent small blocks rather than a last-month scramble. It runs on the same timer as everything else.
Can it plan essay writing for Mains?
Yes. Add essay practice as a session in your routine. It runs on the same timer as everything else, so the wastage report shows how much of that time you really spent writing. The planner does not mark essays, so have someone read a few each month.
I'm preparing for BPSC and UPSC together. Does that work?
Yes, and it is common. Add both as separate exams, each with its own exam date and plan, and switch between them on Today's Plan. Every session you run counts towards your study hours.
Is it free?
Yes. You can build a plan, run the session timer, revise on a spaced schedule and see where your study time went without paying. AI features such as generating study material use credits, and every account starts with 50,000 free.
