Frequently asked questions

RAS परीक्षा के कितने चरण होते हैं?

तीन चरण होते हैं — प्रारंभिक परीक्षा (200 अंक, केवल स्क्रीनिंग), मुख्य परीक्षा (चार वर्णनात्मक पेपर, 800 अंक) और साक्षात्कार (100 अंक)। अंतिम मेरिट मुख्य परीक्षा और साक्षात्कार के 900 अंकों पर बनती है।

क्या RAS प्रारंभिक परीक्षा के अंक अंतिम मेरिट में जुड़ते हैं?

नहीं। प्रारंभिक परीक्षा केवल छँटनी (screening) के लिए है। उसके अंक अंतिम चयन सूची में नहीं जोड़े जाते। अंतिम मेरिट केवल मुख्य परीक्षा (800) और साक्षात्कार (100) से बनती है।

RAS के लिए आयु सीमा क्या है?

सामान्य वर्ग के लिए 21 से 40 वर्ष। राजस्थान के आरक्षित वर्गों, महिलाओं और दिव्यांग अभ्यर्थियों को नियमानुसार छूट मिलती है। आयु की गणना की तिथि और सटीक छूट प्रत्येक अधिसूचना में दी जाती है — आवेदन से पहले उसे अवश्य देखें।
