You have to read the topics covering the areas of the nature of administration of the country, its classification, its different spheres and the duties of the official belonging to those stages, history of Bangladesh (1947-71) elaborately especially the facts and events which are remarkable to accelerate the liberation war of our country, about Bangabondhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family members, economic review-2011, budget, map pointing mainly the location of rivers in different districts, practice some important burning issues which you asked to tell for five or ten minutes like global warming, traffic jam,women empowerment, millennium development goals or introduce yourself, your academic background, your district etc., about the names of different ministers and secretaries assigned to respective ministries along with the name of the present cabinet minister, about your district in details especially the name of DC,SP,upazila chairman, UNO,MP of your locality. . According to past records of 28th to 31st BCS we come to know that even a student is asked only about his own subject though he is belonging to the category of both cadres. After great deal of judgment I come to conclusion that there is no specific syllabus of the BCS rather the way of dealing of a candidate covering the quality of leadership, I.Q, intelligence, skill in speaking are tactfully tested by the viva-board. To please the board of members you always place your answer very smartly and precisely with sound language, in-sha- Allah surely you would be able to scratch in the mind of board members positively that results in good outcome to materialize your dream in reality.

In this most-modern world there is no shortage of source as we have the internet, one of the wonders of modern science. Depending on the necessity, students can use a variety of source for the same topic but due to shortage of time and energy many a times we loose our heart to keep us in the path of hard endeavour. In fact there is no hard and fast rule for taking preparation as what suits for you that is the best.

Wish you all the best.
