This marathon included preliminary exams, main exams, and grueling interviews, testing the mental and emotional fortitude of every candidate.

For those who didn't make the cut this time, there's still hope through the reserve list and subsequent vacancy fillings.
More Than Just a Job: A Gateway to Service
The RAS isn't just another government job; it's a prestigious pathway for the youth of Rajasthan to serve their state. Successful candidates gain entry into esteemed roles like the Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) itself, the Police Service, Tehsildar positions, Development Officer roles, and various other subordinate services. This year's recruitment was particularly significant, marking the largest intake since the pandemic and attracting an unprecedented number of applicants, highlighting the immense desire for stable and respectable government positions in the region. The RPSC emphasizes the transparency of the entire process, publishing cutoff marks along with the results, allowing candidates to understand their performance and standing.
Ajmer Shines: A District Dominates
Ajmer truly stood out in this year's recruitment for the 972 available positions. Candidates from Ajmer swept the top three ranks! Kushal Chaudhary claimed the coveted first position, followed by Ankita Parashar in second place, and Parmeshwar Chaudhary securing the third spot. These high achievers will now have their names forwarded to the Personnel Department, initiating the process of departmental allocation and subsequent training. It's a moment of immense pride for Ajmer and a testament to the quality of education and dedication of its students.
A Numbers Game: Vacancies and Applicants
On June 28, 2023, the RPSC officially announced 972 vacancies, distributed across State Services (491) and Subordinate Services (481), encompassing departments ranging from administration and police to revenue and development. A staggering 6,96,969 candidates applied for these positions! This underscores the intense competition and the high value placed on government jobs in Rajasthan. The Preliminary Exam, held statewide on October 1, 2023, saw 4,57,927 candidates participating. Imagine the pressure cooker environment of those exam halls!
The Elimination Rounds: From Prelims to Interviews
The Prelims results, declared on October 20, 2023, revealed that only 19,352 candidates (approximately 4%) qualified for the Mains exam. This illustrates the rigorous filtering process. The Mains exam, held on July 20-21, 2024, saw 16,405 candidates battling it out. The Mains results, published on January 2, 2025, further narrowed the field to 2,188 candidates shortlisted for the interview phase. These interviews were conducted in seven phases, from April 21, 2025, to October 14, 2025, adding another layer of scrutiny and evaluation.
Beyond the Top Three: Recognizing Talent Across Rajasthan
While Ajmer dominated the top spots, other districts also showcased remarkable talent. Ranjan Kumar Sharma from Jhunjhunu secured the fourth rank, highlighting the educational prowess of that region. Vikram Singh Khiriya from Nagaur claimed the fifth position, while Rashi Kumawat from Jaipur secured the sixth rank. It's important to recognize the diverse talent pool that exists across Rajasthan.
