What each RAS result decides

Prelims result: shortlist for Mains

The Prelims is a screening test. RPSC admits to the Mains fifteen times the approximate number of vacancies, plus everyone tied at the last mark, and Prelims marks are not counted in the final merit. The result is a PDF "Result Preamble" listing roll numbers declared purely provisionally qualified, with category-wise cut-offs. Individual marks follow as a "Marks for ..." entry on the Results page; for RAS 2024 the result came on 20 February 2025 and the marks were listed on 24 February 2025.

Mains result: shortlist for interview

The Mains has four descriptive papers of 200 marks each: General Studies I, II and III, and General Hindi and General English. To be called for interview you need at least 10% in each paper and 15% in aggregate, with 5% relaxation for SC/ST candidates. The RAS 2024 Mains, held on 17 and 18 June 2025, was declared on 8 October 2025.

Interview and final result

The personality and viva-voce test carries 100 marks. Besides character, personality, address and physique, marks are given for knowledge of Rajasthani culture, and the interview marks are added to the written marks. The final result lists roll numbers with their combined merit number, and candidates are recommended to the department according to that merit and the service preference they filled.
