01Agriculture Science and Crop Production: Seasons, Cropping Systems and Statistics
The Agriculture Science and Crop Production paper checks whether you can place a crop in the right season, name its family and package of practices, and compute the cropping indices that appear in Rajasthan's kharif-rabi statistics. Kharif (sown June-July, harvested September-October): bajra, moth, guar, groundnut, cotton, maize, jowar, sesame, moong, cowpea.
346 words, about 2 min02Agronomy: Tillage, Planting Geometry, Water and Weed Management
Agronomy questions test the how behind crop statistics: tillage, sowing geometry, irrigation scheduling and weed control. Primary tillage breaks the hard pan with a mould-board or disc plough; secondary tillage uses harrows and levellers to crush clods and level the field.
384 words, about 2 min03Soil Science and Soil Fertility: Reading a Soil Test and Converting Fertilizer Doses
This domain asks you to interpret a soil test report, identify the deficiency and convert a recommendation into bags of urea, DAP or MOP. Texture is the proportion of sand, silt and clay and governs water holding, drainage and workability.
357 words, about 2 min04Horticulture and Vegetable Production: Classification, Propagation and Planting Density
Horticulture questions cover vegetable classification, propagation methods, training and pruning, protected cultivation and Rajasthan's fruit and spice specialities. Solanaceous: tomato, brinjal and chilli; potato is a tuber crop of the same family.
345 words, about 2 min05Plant Protection: Insect Orders, Disease Diagnosis and Pesticide Dose Calculation
This section tests insect orders and mouthparts, disease symptoms with their causal organisms, IPM logic and pesticide dose calculations. Lepidoptera: moths and butterflies with chewing larvae such as bollworm, fruit borer and leaf folder.
336 words, about 2 min06Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science: Breeds, Feeding, Reproduction and Vaccination
Animal Husbandry questions cover Rajasthan's breeds, ration balancing, reproduction and the vaccination calendar. Cattle: Rathi of Bikaner and Ganganagar with high-fat milk, Tharparkar of the Jodhpur-Barmer belt as a dual-purpose breed, plus Gir, Kankrej, Sahiwal and Red Sindhi used in crossbreeding.
360 words, about 2 min07Rajasthan General Knowledge and Current Affairs: Place-Feature Pairs
Rajasthan GK rewards precise place-feature pairs: which river, which sanctuary, which fair, and which scheme is current. The Aravalli is among the world's oldest fold mountain systems, running south-west to north-east; Guru Shikhar near Mount Abu at 1,722 m is the highest peak.
353 words, about 2 min08Rajasthan Agriculture, Irrigation and Government Schemes
This paper asks which agro-climatic zone, which irrigation source and which scheme pays what. Rajasthan is divided into ten zones: arid western plain, irrigated north-western plain under IGNP, hyper-arid partially irrigated zone, internal drainage dry zone, transitional plain, semi-arid eastern plain, flood-prone eastern plain, sub-humid southern plain, humid southern plain and humid south-eastern plain.
360 words, about 2 min09General Science: Physics, Chemistry and Biology Essentials
General Science is school-level physics, chemistry and biology applied to farm and daily life. SI units: metre, kilogram, second, newton for force, joule for energy, watt for power.
350 words, about 2 min10Environment and Ecology: Energy Flow, Conservation and Pollution
Environment questions test energy flow, conservation categories, pollution and Rajasthan's desert ecology. Components are producers, consumers, decomposers and the abiotic environment.
315 words, about 2 min11Mathematics: Field Mensuration, Inputs and Percentage Reasoning
Mathematics here is arithmetic and mensuration applied to field and input problems. Percentage, ratio and proportion, average, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, time and work, time and distance, mixtures and partnership.
347 words, about 2 min12Reasoning and Basic Computer Knowledge
Reasoning tests pattern recognition, while the computer part tests everyday office software and internet terms. Number series: check differences first, then ratios, then squares and cubes.
