| RPSC RAS Pre Syllabus 2022 |
The Rajasthan Public Service Commission prepares the RAS/RTS Combined Competitive Exam syllabus (RPSC). The main difference between the UPSC Syllabus and the syllabus for state PSC exams is that candidates for states are required to master the subjects from the perspective of the state as well. For instance, if candidates are studying for the RPSC, they also need to study the Rajasthan state's history, economy, geography, politics, and current affairs, as listed in the RAS Syllabus.
There are three stages to the RAS Exam (similar to the UPSC IAS Exam)
