Rajasthan Police Syllabus for Constable Recruitment

Rajasthan police syllabus starts with the selection stages

In the latest constable recruitment, applicants first needed a valid score in the Rajasthan Common Eligibility Test (senior secondary level) and a class 12 pass. From that pool, the stages ran in this order:

1. Written examination of 150 marks, offline on OMR sheets.
2. Physical efficiency test (PET), a 5 km run against the clock, along with the physical standards test (PST) for height, chest and weight.
3. Proficiency test for driver and band posts only.
4. Document verification and medical examination before the final list.

Extra marks for special qualifications such as NCC certificates have also been part of the merit in recent notices. How these and the physical test feed into the final list has changed over the years, so read the scheme in the advertisement you apply under.

Rajasthan police exam pattern: the 150 mark paper

• Time: 2 hours.
• Marking: 1 mark for each right answer, minus 0.25 for each wrong one.
• Minimum marks: 40% in the general, OBC, EBC and EWS groups and 36% in the SC and ST groups in the latest notice, with exemptions for some TSP area candidates.

Since reasoning and computer alone carry 60 marks, that part usually decides who makes the cut.

Reasoning and computer topics (Part A)

Reasoning and mental ability

• Analogy, odd one out and classification
• Number, letter and figure series
• Coding, decoding and direction sense
• Family relation puzzles
• Ranking and seating order, clock and calendar
• Syllogism, statement and conclusion, decision making
• Figure completion, counting figures, mirror images and folded paper puzzles
• Arithmetical reasoning at a basic level: averages, ratios, percentages, simple gain and loss, and work problems

Basic computer knowledge

• Hardware, software, input and output devices, memory
• Operating system basics and file handling
• Word processing, spreadsheets and presentation tools
• Internet, email, browsers and networking terms
• Viruses, malware and cyber safety, including common online frauds

General knowledge and current affairs (Part B)

• Indian history: from the Harappan age through the Mughals to British rule and the freedom struggle.
• Geography: physical features of India and the world, rivers, climate, soils and resources.
• Polity: making of the Constitution, rights and duties of citizens, Parliament, the judiciary and local bodies.
• Economy: basic terms, budget, banking, major government schemes.
• General science: science of daily life, the human body, nutrition and common diseases, and environment.
• Current affairs: events in India and abroad over the past year, sports, awards, books and important days.
• Women and children: laws on crimes against women and children, such as the POCSO Act and the dowry and domestic violence laws, plus welfare schemes and helplines.

The part on women and children is small but scoring, and it ties directly to the work a constable does at a police station.

Rajasthan GK topics (Part C)

• History: ancient sites such as Kalibangan and Ahar, the Rajput dynasties, Mewar and Marwar rulers, the 1857 revolt in the state, the Bijolia and other farmer movements, Bhil and Meena movements, praja mandals and the integration of the state.
• Art and culture: forts and palaces, folk deities and saints, fairs and festivals, folk music, dance and instruments, painting schools, handicrafts, dialects and literature.
• Geography: physical divisions, Aravalli range, Thar desert, rivers and lakes, climate, soils, crops, minerals, wildlife sanctuaries and irrigation projects.
• Economy: agriculture, industry, tourism, energy and state welfare schemes.
• Polity: Governor, Chief Minister and council of ministers, the state assembly, High Court, panchayati raj and state commissions.

Physical standards and the 5 km run

The physical stage is where many candidates who did well on paper lose their place, so start running early.

Lower height and chest limits apply to Sahariya tribe candidates of Baran district, and some time relaxations exist for ex-servicemen and certain categories. Check the full table in the advertisement.

A twelve week plan that follows the marks

1. Weeks 1 to 4: one hour of reasoning daily, chapter by chapter, plus 30 minutes of computer basics.
2. Weeks 5 to 8: Rajasthan GK from the state board class 6 to 12 social science books and a standard Rajasthan GK text, with maps for geography.
3. Weeks 9 and 10: Indian GK and science from NCERT books, along with a monthly current affairs round up.
4. Weeks 11 and 12: full papers in two hours, three times a week. Track wrong answers, because each one costs 0.25.

Run every morning through all twelve weeks. Build up from 2 km to the full 5 km, and time yourself on a flat track twice a week.
