ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE OPTIONAL

​

Are you preparing for the Assistant Conservator of Forest (ACF) or Range Forest Officer (RFO) exams? Environmental Science (EVS) is the most popular and scoring optional subject for science graduates. At EGF Academy, we provide a dedicated curriculum tailored for state-level forest service recruitment.

Why Choose Environmental Science as an Optional?

• Direct & Objective: In many state exams (like MPPSC), EVS is part of a multiple-choice paper, making it easy to score 90%+ with the right facts.

• Low Mathematical Burden: Unlike Physics or Chemistry, EVS is conceptual and descriptive, focusing on ecology and policy.

• Overlapping Syllabus: The topics you study here will also help you in the General Studies (GS) Environment and Science sections.

• ​

• Our course is divided into 6 core modules that cover the specific requirements of MPPSC, RPSC, and UPPSC Forest Services:

• Module 1: Fundamentals of Ecology

• Ecosystem structure, functions, and dynamics.

• Energy flow, food chains, and ecological pyramids.

• Biogeochemical cycles (Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus).

• Module 2: Biodiversity & Conservation

• In-situ and Ex-situ conservation techniques.

• Endangered species and biodiversity hotspots in India.

• Role of National Parks, Sanctuaries, and Biosphere Reserves.

• Module 3: Environmental Pollution & Control
