West Bengal Civil Service Exam Pattern Stays Unchanged
The West Bengal government has decided to keep the old format for the West Bengal Civil Service (WBCS) exams.
Previously, there was a plan to change the exam pattern to be more like the UPSC exams, with detailed answer formats, but this plan has been cancelled.

The decision was made by the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms.
The West Bengal Public Service Commission (WBPSC) had announced the overhaul last September.
