Educare Skill Academy Expert Insights:
“The Miscellaneous Exam is unique because, unlike the WBCS, the Preliminary marks are not added to the final merit list. This means you should use the Prelims to strategically test your speed, but save your best descriptive writing skills for the Final Examination, which determines your actual rank. Ensure your One Time Registration (OTR) is updated on the new WBPSC portal before the link opens on April 30 to avoid last-minute server congestion!”
