ExploreAbout this exam
The Rajasthan Police Constable recruitment examination is the screening test used by Rajasthan's police recruitment board to shortlist candidates for constable-level posts in the state police force. It is intended for candidates who have completed the required school-level qualification and want to enter uniformed service in Rajasthan, and it is conducted in Hindi and English through a written paper that may be administered as a computer-based test or an OMR-based paper depending on the cycle. The paper samples a broad school-level base rather than specialist police knowledge: general knowledge and current affairs, Rajasthan-specific history, culture, geography, polity and economy, quantitative aptitude, reasoning and mental ability, general science, and Hindi and English language and grammar. Because the syllabus is wide but shallow, the strongest preparation is steady and cumulative. Fix your sources for Rajasthan GK and current affairs early, work through arithmetic and reasoning by topic with timed practice sets, and revise Hindi and English grammar rules alongside vocabulary. Take full-length mocks to build speed and accuracy under pressure. The official recruitment board publishes the current notification with eligibility, syllabus, exam pattern and schedule; always treat that notification as the authority.

What you'll study
About Rajasthan Police Constable preparation
What is the Rajasthan Police Constable exam actually for?
It screens candidates for constable-level posts in the Rajasthan police. A qualifying written score moves you to the later stages named in that cycle's notification, which typically include physical efficiency and measurement tests and document verification. Read the current notification for the exact stage sequence.
Is the exam computer-based or on paper?
Both formats have been used across recruitment cycles, so do not assume one. The official notification for your cycle states the mode. Practise accordingly: OMR practice builds bubbling discipline and paper stamina, while CBT practice builds mouse navigation and on-screen review habits.
How many questions are there and how long is the paper?
Question count, time limit and marking scheme vary by notification, so no fixed figure can be quoted here. The recruiting board publishes the current pattern in its official notification. Once your cycle's notification is out, build mock tests that exactly mirror its section count and duration.
How difficult is the paper?
Individual questions are mostly school-level and not tricky; the difficulty comes from breadth and time pressure. The candidates who struggle usually lose marks through slow arithmetic and weak Rajasthan-specific recall rather than through hard questions. Accuracy per minute, not depth per topic, is the real skill being tested.
Can I retake the exam if I do not qualify?
There is no lifetime attempt limit; you can appear in later recruitment cycles as long as you meet the age and eligibility conditions in that cycle's notification. Your previous score does not carry forward, so each cycle is a fresh attempt with fresh cut-offs.
In which order should I study the sections?
Start with Rajasthan GK and current affairs because they reward long, steady accumulation, and add arithmetic and reasoning practice daily from the beginning. Keep Hindi and English grammar as short regular sessions rather than a final cram. General knowledge and science can run in parallel at lower intensity.
What are the most common reasons candidates miss the cut-off?
Three recur: neglecting Rajasthan-specific GK in favour of generic current affairs, doing arithmetic without timed practice so speed never develops, and skipping full-length mocks until the last fortnight. A fourth is ignoring negative marking where it applies, which turns guesswork into a net loss.
How should I handle current affairs?
Restrict yourself to one monthly compilation plus a Rajasthan-focused source, and revise the same notes repeatedly instead of collecting new material. For this exam, state-level schemes, appointments, sports and awards matter more than international news. Revise the last six to eight months before the exam.
Where do I confirm eligibility, dates and fees?
Only on the official recruitment board website for Rajasthan police recruitment. This page deliberately does not quote question counts, timings, fees or passing marks because those change every cycle. Verify age limits, qualification and category relaxations in the notification PDF before you apply.
