If you have completed graduation in any discipline from recognized university then you are eligible for WBCS exam. Final year student are eligible for WBCS exam.

Your age should be in between 21 years to 32 years for general candidates.

Age relaxation is given below -

5 years relaxation for SC/ST candidates
3 years relaxation for OBC Candidates
10 years relaxation for PHC candidates

The WBCS selection process is consist in three way-

There is no maths in WBCS preliminary exam. You may find a little maths questions which are officially not in syllabus. They are under General Intelligence.

In mains exam, there is 200 marks in 6th paper- 100 for maths and 100 for reasoning/GI. But the good thing is, there is no minimum qualifying marks for any of the papers in mains. If you can obtain a decent marks in others papers, you may not need to be good in maths.
