The Syllabus for RAS Competitive Exam is set by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission
(RPSC).
The primary difference between the UPSC Syllabus and the syllabus for state PSC exams is
that for states, candidates have to learn the topics from the state’s perspective as well.
For e.g., if candidates are preparing for RPSC, then they also need to study History, Economy,
Geography, Polity, and Current Affairs related to Rajasthan state as mentioned in the RAS
Syllabus.
The RAS Exam is conducted in three stages (similar to the UPSC IAS Exam)

  • Stage 1: RAS Prelims – Objective Type – 200 Marks
