A WBCS plan that survives the full cycle.

General Studies, West Bengal history and geography, Bengali and English papers — Lighthouse Prep structures the whole syllabus into a daily routine you can keep.

WBCS is a long cycle — Prelims, a descriptive Mains across several papers, then the personality test. Everyone studies national General Studies. The papers that decide ranks are the West Bengal material and the descriptive and language papers, and those are exactly the ones that get postponed.

Lighthouse Prep keeps them scheduled.

How it structures WBCS prep

You configure once:

Stage you're targeting (Prelims, Mains, or the full cycle)
Target exam date
Daily study hours
Whether you're also preparing for UPSC or another state PSC

The AI plan builds a daily schedule across national GS, West Bengal GS, Bengali, English and current affairs — weighted to your stage.

A typical WBCS study day

Morning session — one national GS subject in depth (Polity, History, Geography, Economy).
West Bengal block — state history, geography, economy or schemes, scheduled daily.
Current affairs — 30–45 minutes, national plus state, with last week's items resurfacing automatically.
Descriptive practice — answer writing, précis or essay depending on the week.
Lighter session — Bengali or English practice.

Each session carries a topic and a duration. Start the timer, study, and the plan advances.

Spaced revision across a long cycle

Most candidates who miss Prelims did the reading. What they lost was retention — a subject covered in month two is gone by month eight.

Lighthouse Prep schedules every topic back at 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 21 days and 60 days, so the early syllabus is still with you on exam day.

Frequently asked questions

Does it cover West Bengal-specific General Studies?

Yes. West Bengal history, geography, polity, economy and state current affairs are scheduled as their own subjects. State material carries real weight in WBCS and is usually the part candidates leave until last.

How does it handle the Bengali and English language papers?

Both can be added as recurring light sessions, so they tick over across months rather than becoming an emergency near Mains. The planner keeps them in rotation without eating GS time.

Can it plan the descriptive Mains papers?

Yes. Answer writing, précis, letter and essay practice can each be scheduled as repeating sessions with weekly targets, and the planner tracks what you have actually written rather than what you meant to write.

I'm preparing for WBCS and UPSC together. Does that work?

Yes. Create both as separate exams. Shared General Studies counts once, while West Bengal topics and the language papers stay on the WBCS track with their own target date and progress.

Is it free?

The core planner, timer and revision system are free.
