• Indian History & Polity (50 Q): Standard UPSC preparation material — Laxmikanth for Polity, Bipin Chandra + Spectrum for Modern History.
• Mental Ability (20 Q): Standard reasoning (analogies, syllogism, series) and basic arithmetic. Quick marks if practiced — target 16/20.
• Science & Current Affairs (30 Q): 6 months of national current affairs + basic science (NCERT Class 8–10). Target 22+.

Pro Tips for RPSC RAS 2026

• Rajasthan GK Books: Use local Rajasthan publishers' GK books (LDC material, Rajasthan GK by Lucent special edition) alongside standard IAS prep.
• Rajasthan Government Portal: Rajasthan.gov.in regularly publishes cultural and development news — a direct source for exam questions.
• Maintain a Rajasthan Current Affairs Notebook: Note every important Rajasthan event — inaugurations of development projects, new policies by the state government, honours to Rajasthani personalities.
• RAS Mains is Extensive: If you pass Prelims, RAS Mains has 6 papers (GS Paper 1, 2, 3 + Optional + Essay + Language) totaling 800+ marks. Plan ahead.
