Tripura Civil Service resource and Study Materials

Hello aspirants,

Tripura Civil Service / Tripura Police Service is one of the most prestigious job under Government of Tripura. Many students aspire to give this exam. For the last few years TPSC ( Tripura Public Service Commission ) is conducting this exam on a regular basis each year. The upcoming Prelims exam is in the month of April 2023.

Although this is one of the toughest Government exams in this state, but due to a very comprehensive syllabus, this becomes fairly easy to study for it. But, students mostly get lost on the availability of so many resources/books on the market.

To cater to this specific issue, I am writing this post to guide the students on how to prepare and from where to prepare for the various portions of the syllabus of this exam.
