Candidates who took the exam can now verify their scores and download the answer keys from the official RPSC website, rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in.
The RPSC RAS Prelims 2025 was conducted on February 2, 2025, attracting approximately 3.75 lakh candidates from the 6.75 lakh registered participants. Unfortunately, the commission disqualified around 1,680 candidates for failing to meet the examination criteria as outlined under Instruction Point No. 11, which states any candidate who leaves more than ten percent of the questions unanswered will not be deemed eligible.
Alongside the eagerly awaited results, the RPSC has also provided updates on the number of available vacancies. The total has increased to 1,096 positions, divided between 428 roles for state services and 668 for subordinate services. According to the official notice issued by RPSC, this revision reflects needs specified by the personnel department.”When initially announced, there were only 733 vacancies, so this change gives hopefuls another reason to stay optimistic as they navigate their next steps.

For those interested, here’s how you can check your results: Start by visiting the RPSC’s official website at rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in. Next, look for the ‘Results’ section on the homepage. Enter your roll number and birth date as prompted, and you’ll see your marks displayed on the screen, which you can then download for future reference.
RPSC strongly advises candidates to keep their admit cards handy to facilitate accurate details during the login process. This is especially pertinent as candidates prepare not only for the consequences of their prelims performance but also for the rigorous mains examination awaiting them.
The format for the RPSC RAS Mains will consist of four descriptive papers, covering diverse topics such as General Studies and language skills. Therefore, candidates should prioritize areas where they faced challenges during the prelims and create detailed study plans to address these weaknesses. Utilizing resources like NCERT textbooks, RPSC study materials, and practicing past papers will be beneficial.
Analysts of previous trends suggest the expected cut-offs for the upcoming mains may range based on category. For example, predictions for the general category cut-off hover between 90 to 95 marks, with slightly lower expectations for other categories such as OBC, SC, and ST.
RPSC continues to update candidates on these developments, which makes it imperative for them to regularly visit rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in for any new information about the examination dates and selection procedures.
