BPSC Preparation Strategy for Art and Culture 

Because Art & Culture is such a broad topic, it is critical that you stick to the syllabus and study only the pertinent sections. Here are some of the most important aspects of BPSC art and culture preparation. Below are some tips that will be very helpful in preparation.

• History textbooks for Classes VI and VII, as well as XI and XII (NCERTs), encompass ancient and mediaeval history, which should be studied to lay a solid basis. Aside from that, the fine arts textbook for Class XI should be thoroughly studied for the art forms in question.
• Next, read Nitin Singhania’s Indian Art & Culture and reread it several times to memorize the names. Rote learning is a key component of the Art & Culture preparation plan.
• Follow the official website of the CCRT (Centre for Cultural Resources & Training) for any significant updates, as well as the pib website for information on GI tags and other recent cultural festivals and initiatives. The CCRT website http://www.ccrtindia.gov.in/ is a particularly suggested source for preparing Performing Arts such as Drama, Theatre, Folk Dances. Also, the plethora of paintings covered on this website is commendable.

Note: NCERTs will provide a lot of information but unfortunately, you will have to consolidate the fragmented parts. Unlike Nitin Singhania’s book, NCERTs have content specific to Art and Culture very scattered. Extra effort would have to be made for that consolidation.
