• New Prelims Rule: Candidates must attempt at least 140 out of 150 questions; leaving more than 10 questions blank leads to disqualification.

• CBRT/OMR: Many technical exams (like Lecturer or Statistical Officer) are shifting to Computer Based Recruitment Tests (CBRT).

How to Crack RPSC Exams

Success in RPSC exams in 2026 depends heavily on Rajasthan-specific knowledge. The Rajasthan Economic Review is the most critical document, contributing nearly 20–30% of Prelims and Mains questions. For the RAS Mains, practicing answer writing with diagrams and flowcharts is now essential for 5 and 10-mark questions. Avoid over-reliance on coaching notes; instead, stick to RBSE (Rajasthan Board) and NCERT textbooks for foundational subjects. Always check the 'Press Notes' section on rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in for corrigendums, as exam dates or eligibility criteria for specific posts like 'Protection Officer' are frequently updated.
