Two papers, 400 marks
The State Forest Service Main Examination comprised two papers of 200 marks each, with 100 objective-type questions in each paper.
The first paper covered General Knowledge, including Madhya Pradesh, national and international affairs, history, geography, politics, economy, culture, sports, current affairs, ICT and mental ability.
The second paper focused on Forestry and General Science, covering forestry, forest resources, environment, biodiversity, ecology, and concepts from physics, chemistry and biology.
Forestry questions relatively easy
Candidate Anmol Tiwari said the examination could not be considered scoring based solely on general knowledge. According to him, the forestry-related questions were relatively easier this time, while a clear understanding of environmental and general science concepts was important.
He added that candidates who had studied current affairs in connection with Madhya Pradesh's forests, environment and biodiversity may have found it easier to understand and answer several questions.
