RPSC RAS 2024 Pre Answer Key

RPSC RAS 2024 Pre Answer Key — a answer key release — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 18 October 2024 and a fee of ₹600 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 19 September 2024 and close on 18 October 2024, giving candidates 30 days to complete the process. The 30-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. Fee payment closes on 18/10/2024 — note that this can fall on a different day from the form deadline, and an unpaid form is not a submitted form. The exam is currently shown for 02/02/2025; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The age limit runs from 21 to 40 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 19-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: Bachelor Degree in Any Stream in Any Recognized University in India. More & Post Wise Eligibility Read the Notification. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹400 and ₹600, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and UPI. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Work out a provisional score from the official key before the objection window closes. Objections generally require a fee per question and supporting evidence, and are only worth raising where you can cite a source. Do not use unofficial keys circulating on social media to estimate cut-offs — they are frequently wrong on exactly the disputed questions.
