To pass the exam, you must first understand the RPSC syllabus thoroughly before beginning your preparation. Furthermore, the exam pattern is a critical part of the preparation for such an exam. According to the selection process, preliminary, Mains, and Interview/Personality Tests are the stages of the RPSC test. However, it is necessary to plan how to prepare RAS Exam.

How to Prepare for Rajasthan RAS Exam?

Understanding all areas of the RPSC RAS examination before beginning preparation is essential, as this will help select a quick pace and complete the preparation.

But first question is about the preparation pattern. We have to prepare for prelims, mains, or both?

Most students first prepare for the Prelims, and after qualifying for the prelims, they prepare for the mains exam. And get stuck in a loop of preparation. It should be understood that you are here to prepare and qualify the entire exam, not for 5 years preparation plan.

You do not have to wait until the prelims to prepare for the Mains. Instead, plan ahead of time for your GS subjects and continue to study them properly.

In addition, because this is a written exam, you should practice your writing abilities and speed. Finally, examine past years’ question papers and create detailed and well-written sample responses. Calculate how long it takes you and practice appropriately. It’s critical to ensure you can compose thorough responses within the allotted time.

The Rajasthan Administration Service has three stages of examination.

  1. Preliminary Examination
  2. Main Examination
  3. Personality Test

A detailed understanding of the RAS exam pattern and syllabus will improve preparation and performance.
