RPSC RAS 2024 Vacancy Increase Notice

RPSC RAS 2024 Vacancy Increase Notice — a result announcement — is summarised below. The key figures are 2,024 vacancies, 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.

2,024 posts are advertised in this notification. At this scale the selection is normally decided on a single written or computer-based paper plus verification, with cut-offs set by category. Category-wise distribution, where the notification provides it, is shown in the vacancy table further down this page — check the count against your own category rather than the overall total, since reserved-category cut-offs and competition ratios differ substantially from the unreserved ones.

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.

Once you have your result, download and save the scorecard immediately — result portals for large recruitments are frequently taken offline weeks after publication, and the scorecard is required at document verification. Watch the same recruiting body for the next stage notice, which is usually published separately rather than as an update to the result page.
