Rajasthan Police SI study guide
Rajasthan Police SI · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Rajasthan Police Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment examination is the selection process through which the Rajasthan Police recruits candidates to the rank of Sub-Inspector - a supervisory, investigative and station-level leadership role rather than an entry-level constable post. It suits graduates who want a career in policing with responsibility for case investigation, law-and-order supervision and junior staff management, and who are willing to clear both a written assessment and physical testing. The Rajasthan Police SI study guide has 8 sections and about 2,411 words.
01General Knowledge and Current Affairs (Rajasthan and India)
The GK paper tests static knowledge of Rajasthan and India plus current affairs of roughly the preceding year. Expect Rajasthan integration and history, geography, art and culture, polity and economy, then national polity, geography, science, sports, awards, appointments and schemes.
322 words, about 2 min02Reasoning and Mental Ability
Reasoning is the most scoring section because it rewards practised technique rather than memory. The paper mixes verbal items (series, coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense, ranking, syllogism, seating arrangement) with non-verbal items (mirror and water images, paper folding, figure series, dice, embedded figures).
292 words, about 1 min03Mathematics / Quantitative Aptitude
Quantitative aptitude rewards formula recall plus calculation speed. High-yield areas are percentage, ratio and proportion, average, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, time and work, pipes and cisterns, time–speed–distance, trains and boats, mensuration, basic trigonometry, and data interpretation from tables, bar graphs and pie charts.

270 words, about 1 min05English (Grammar, Comprehension and Vocabulary)
The English section is short but decides cut-offs through accuracy. It tests grammar (tense, subject–verb agreement, articles, prepositions, voice, narration), vocabulary (synonyms, antonyms, one-word substitution, idioms), and comprehension of a short passage, along with error spotting, cloze tests and sentence improvement.
288 words, about 1 min06Law and Constitution (Constitution, Criminal Law and Allied Statutes)

Computer knowledge here is basic but broad: hardware and memory, operating systems, MS Office, internet and networking, and cyber crime with the IT Act, 2000. Questions are definitional, so precise terms earn the marks.
274 words, about 1 min08Rajasthan Police and Public Order / Social Awareness
This section is specific to Rajasthan policing: the state police organisation, the Rajasthan Police Act, 2007, public order duties, emergency response, community policing, and the social legislation a constable applies on the street.
