Selection process: three stages
Screening stage for shortlisting candidates for the Main Examination.
Written examination for candidates who qualify the Preliminary stage.
Personality test for candidates shortlisted under RPSC rules.
The Preliminary Examination is a screening stage; candidates should confirm from the official scheme which marks count toward final merit. The Main Examination and interview carry the next stages of assessment. Minimum qualifying marks, paper structure, negative marking and document-verification rules must be read from the official examination instructions.
How candidates should prepare now
- Use the revised schedule: plan revision around the 6 December 2026 Preliminary Examination and keep checking for any new RPSC notice.
- Prioritise Rajasthan-specific topics: revise Rajasthan history, geography, polity, economy, art, culture and current affairs alongside the syllabus areas specified by RPSC.
- Practise timed papers: solve previous papers and full-length mock tests, then review incorrect answers and weak topics.
- Prepare for Mains early: build structured answer-writing practice instead of waiting for the Preliminary result.
- Keep documents ready: check certificates and personal details against the requirements in the advertisement and candidate portal.
