RAS 2026 exam pattern — the three stages
| Stage | Structure | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Preliminary (screening) | 1 objective paper, 150 questions, 1/3 negative marking | 200 |
| Main Examination | 4 descriptive papers of 200 marks each | 800 |
| Personality Test / Interview | Interview | 100 |
The Preliminary Examination is a screening test only — its marks do not count in the final merit; it decides who sits the Mains. The final merit is built on the Mains (800) and Interview (100). For the detailed subject-wise breakup, see the RAS syllabus page linked below.
Which posts does RAS cover?
RAS is a combined examination, so a single exam recruits for a range of Rajasthan government posts. The State Services include the Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS), Rajasthan Police Service (RPS), Rajasthan Accounts Service and cooperative, tourism and other services; the Subordinate Services include Tehsildar, excise, and food and civil supplies posts. Your final post depends on your rank and preference, as detailed in the official notification.

RPSC RAS 2026 — 607 Posts, Prelims on 6 December (Advt 02/2026-27) — Analysis & Trends
A note for RAS 2026 aspirants.
The one-week postponement to 6 December is small, but plan to it, not to the old date. RPSC moved the prelims from 29 November via its 2 July press note, and candidates who keep revising to the wrong date lose a week of peaking-too-early. Use the extra days on the Preliminary screening paper — remember it is qualifying only, so your job in December is simply to clear the cut-off and reach the Mains, where the real 800-mark battle is fought. Two honest cautions while you prepare: the Mains date is not yet settled across sources (do not lock travel or leave around an unconfirmed 2027 date), and the application fee and post-wise pay levels vary by report, so trust only the official Advertisement 02/2026-27 for those. With 607 posts across State and Subordinate services, your rank and post-preference strategy matters as much as your score — decide your preferences deliberately, not at the last minute.
