The preliminary examination of RPSC RAS 2021 was successfully conducted by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) on October 27, 2021. The exam was held from 10 am to 1 pm. The internet connectivity in Jaipur and adjacent areas was suspended for at least 4 hours to facilitate a seamless organisation of the exam.
According to the candidates, the question paper was of a moderate level. This year, very few questions were asked from the History section and more indirect questions were asked. Current affairs and science turned out to be difficult for some candidates.
The questions from mathematics and reasoning were rated easier by some candidates. Compared to 2018, the overall difficulty level of the RPSC RAS 2021 prelims question paper was moderately high.
The official RPSC RAS 2021 answer key has not been released on the official website rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in yet. However, various private coaching institutes and YouTube channels have released the answer keys.
