📉 Minimum Qualifying Marks

Scoring above the cutoff in all the papers in the written test is a prerequisite for inclusion in the merit list. The candidate needs to pay particular attention to the paper on law (paper I) because it has a weightage of 300 marks out of the total 1800 marks.

🎂 Age Limit

Age Relaxation (Category-wise)

Age relaxations are non-cumulative (except for PwD relaxation). Candidates should carefully calculate their age as on 01.01.2027 and check the applicable relaxation category before applying.

💰 Application Fee (One-Time Registration Fee)

Payment Mode: Online (through Rajasthan SSO Portal)

The above registration fees are known as one-time registration fees that apply to all the RPSC examinations. Those who have already registered at the SSO website should not pay again. Fee, once paid, cannot be refunded even if the candidate withdraws his/her application. Other states’ OBC/SC/ST candidates of Rajasthan are considered as General and must pay the General fee.

⚙️ Selection Process

The selection will be conducted in the following stages:

1. Preliminary Examination (Objective Type — Screening)
