How to apply
- Create an SSO ID on the SSO Rajasthan portal (Aadhaar or Jan Aadhaar helps).
- Complete RPSC's One Time Registration (OTR) – it is mandatory for all RPSC exams.
- Open the RAS advertisement under Recruitment Portal and fill the application.
- Pay the fee online. Reserved categories of Rajasthan and PwD candidates pay a lower fee.
- Submit and print the application.
Correction window: RPSC usually allows corrections after the last date for a fee. Check your category, domicile and date of birth carefully the first time.
Vacancies
RAS notifications have advertised several hundred posts in recent cycles, split between state services and subordinate services. Posts are divided as per Rajasthan reservation rules, including horizontal reservation for women, widows and divorced women, ex-servicemen and sportspersons.
Admit card and exam day
- Download the admit card and carry an original photo ID (Aadhaar preferred).
- Reach at least an hour early – the gate closes before the exam starts.
- Use only a blue ball-point pen on the OMR sheet. Fill one of the five bubbles for every question.
Answer key and objections
RPSC publishes the model answer key on its website. Objections are submitted online with evidence and a fee per question. Questions found wrong may be deleted or their answers changed in the final key.
Results
- Prelims result: candidates qualified for mains (about 15 times the vacancies, category-wise).
- Mains result: candidates called for interview.
- Final result: merit list; marks and cut-offs follow.
