RPSC releases admit cards for RAS Mains 2024
Ajmer: The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) issued admit cards Saturday for the RAS Mains 2024, confirming the examination dates as June 17 and 18. This decision finalises the schedule despite protests by candidates in Jaipur who demanded the exam be postponed until after the declaration of the RAS 2023 results. RPSC is ready to conduct the exams at 48 centres in Jaipur and 29 in Ajmer for 21,539 candidates who cleared the RAS Preliminary Exam 2024. An official source from RPSC stated, "We are going as per the schedule and are prepared to conduct the exam on the timetable given before." Another source added, "As the new chairman of the RPSC, Utkal Ranjan Sahoo, took charge recently, it would not send the right message to postpone the first exam conducted under his chairmanship." A third source mentioned, "The state govt has not recommended anything in this matter; therefore, the exam will proceed as scheduled, and admit cards have already been issued. " Meanwhile, candidates who presented a memorandum to the RPSC before protesting in Jaipur stated that many who cleared the RAS Preliminary 2024 are appearing for interviews of RAS 2023 and are demanding that the RAS Mains be conducted after the RAS 2023 results are declared. RPSC secretary Ramniwas Mehta said that despite the protest, 20,000 admit cards were download on first day out of the odd 21,500. "RPSC is determined to conduct exams on time," said Mehta. tnn Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Many ineligible candidates apply for Dy Comdt posts
Ajmer: The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has issued a stern warning to thousands of ineligible candidates who have applied for deputy commandant positions in the home department. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The commission has given these applicants until May 9 to withdraw their applications or face legal action under Section 217 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The recruitment drive, which was advertised on March 18, is specifically for ex-servicemen, particularly retired army officers at the rank of Captain or former officers who served under emergency or short service commissions. However, of the 10,300 applications received for just four posts, only 320 candidates met the eligibility criteria, as per the RPSC. RPSC secretary Ramniwas Mehta expressed concern over the overwhelming number of ineligible applications. "Despite clearly stating the eligibility criteria, thousands of unqualified candidates submitted applications. We have now provided a withdrawal window until May 9 for voluntary withdrawal," Mehta said Saturday. The commission has also mandated that eligible candidates must upload valid service certificates by the same deadline to prove their eligibility. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in disqualification or legal consequences. The application period for these positions ran from March 24 to April 24, and the posts are exclusively reserved for ex-army personnel. The RPSC has emphasised that no deviation from the specified eligibility criteria will be tolerated. Separate notice: Final call for agriculture officer candidates In another development, the RPSC has issued a final notice to 13 candidates who cleared the Assistant Agriculture Officer-2021 examination but failed to attend document verification from April 22 to 24. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now These candidates must now appear on May 3 at the RPSC office in Ajmer for the final opportunity to complete the verification process. The recruitment process for the agriculture posts began in Nov 2021, and the provisional list of selected candidates was released on March 21 this year. Candidates failing to appear for verification will be removed from the selection list, Mehta said.
