RPSC SO Hall Ticket 2026: Download Link and Step-by-Step Process

The RPSC Statistical Officer Hall Ticket can be downloaded officially in one of two ways: either directly from the RPSC website or via the Rajasthan SSO portal; in both cases the admit card obtained is the same.

Route 1 — via rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in:

  1. Visit the official RPSC website at rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in.
  2. Under Important Downloads on the homepage you will find the 'Admit Card for Statistical Officer (Economics and Statistics Deptt.) Exam - 2025'.
  3. Click on the link and input your Application Number and Date of Birth.
  4. Fill in the details as you're required to, and your admit card will appear on the screen.
  5. Get it and print out a clear copy.

Route 2 — By means of the Rajasthan SSO / logging on to recruitment.rajasthan.gov.in:

  1. Go to sso.rajasthan.gov.in and log in using your SSO ID and password.
  2. Go to the Citizen Apps section and choose 'Recruitment Portal' (G2C).
  3. Select the Statistical Officer Examination 2025 from the list.
  4. When you're asked, please enter your registration details.
  5. The call letter will be generated so that you can download it and print it out in A4 format.
It's a good idea to keep the application number and date of birth to hand, since the most common reason candidates give for the "admit card not appearing" is a typo when trying to log in once.

Strict Gate Closure Rule — Read This Before You Plan Your Travel

The RPSC has been particularly strict on this point in its press note and merits its own mention since it has in previous exams disqualified candidates who had assumed that a certain degree of flexibility would be permitted.

The entrance to the exam centre is closed 60 minutes before the exam starts. As the RPSC Statistical Officer exam takes place at 11:00 AM, the gates will close at exactly 10:00 AM. A grace period is not allowed since the RPSC has made it very clear that no candidates will be admitted inside after 10:00 AM, even if their delay is caused by traffic, weather, or a late train.

The practical point is that if the exam city you're assigned to is not the same as your home city, you should aim to get to the exam centre in the evening of the day before, or else leave at least 90 minutes beyond the time you expect to take to travel. Since there is also a time delay involved in the security checks and the verification of your biometrics and documents at the gate, arriving by 10:00 AM actually means you should be inside the centre by 9:45 AM.

RPSC Statistical Officer Exam Pattern 2026: Part A and Part B Breakdown

The written examination has a total of 150 marks, which are divided between two sections: General Knowledge and the main Statistics/Economics content.

Part Subject Questions Marks
Part A General Knowledge (Rajasthan-focused: history, culture, geography, economy, current affairs) 40 40
Part B Statistics, Economics, Mathematics, Computer Applications 110 110
Total 150 150

Other key exam-pattern facts:

  • Exam duration: 2 hours 30 minutes (150 minutes)
  • Question paper language: Bilingual (Hindi and English)
  • Marking scheme: +1 for every correct answer
  • A negative mark of one-third (0.33) is given for each incorrect answer.
  • Question type: Objective (MCQ), OMR-based, five options per question

Statistics has the greatest weight in Part B, and those candidates who have concentrated a great deal on descriptive statistics, probability and distributions, as well as on sampling methods, have in the past obtained higher scores in this section than those who have revised evenly over all the sub-topics.

RPSC SO 5th Option OMR Marking Rules — What It Actually Means

This rule is the one which most candidates get wrong, and it's important to properly understand it rather than merely memorise it.

Your OMR sheet has five circles for each question, not four. The first four (numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4) are your usual answer choices, and the fifth circle indicates that the question has not been attempted.

Here's why this matters:

  • For each question you have to darken exactly one circle—either the one that corresponds to your answer or the fifth circle if you are opting to skip it.
  • If you leave a question completely blank—without even darkening the fifth circle—it is treated in the same way as a wrong answer and you lose one-third of a mark for it.
  • RPSC's rule permits disqualification from the recruitment process if more than 10% of your total questions have no circle marked at all (not even the fifth option).

So that all the candidates have plenty of time to go back and fill in the fifth option for any questions they have skipped, RPSC includes an additional 10 minutes at the end of the exam, entirely for this verification step.

To put it simply, if you guess an answer you still only lose one-third of a mark if it's wrong, just as was the case before. However, failing to mark anything at all—not even the 'skip' bubble—is the error which can cause your answer sheet to be flagged. So make it a point in the final 10 minutes to go through every question number and check that one bubble has been filled for each.

Documents to Carry to the RPSC SO Exam Centre

  • Printed copy of the RPSC Statistical Officer Admit Card 2026 (color or black-and-white, clearly legible)
  • One original photo ID (Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID, Driving Licence, or Passport)
  • Two passport-size photographs matching the one uploaded during application
  • A blue or black ballpoint pen (RPSC does not permit pencils on the OMR sheet)
  • Exam City Intimation Slip printout, for quick reference at the entry checkpoint
It is not permitted to have mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators, bags, or any form of printed material in the exam room since the RPSC examination centres carry out rigorous body searches and checks for prohibited items at the gate and such items must not be kept on your person even outside the building.

RPSC Statistical Officer Application Fee 2026 (For Reference)

Category Application Fee

OBC / EWS (Non-Creamy Layer) ₹400
SC / ST / PwD / Rajasthan Domicile ₹400

The fees referred to here are in accordance with the RPSC standard recruitment fee structure; however, you should always verify the exact amount on your own application receipt, as the fee rates are sometimes amended from one advertisement to another.

After the Exam: Answer Key and Result

The provisional answer key from RPSC is generally made available on rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in within a few days to a couple of weeks after the exam, after which a period is given for candidates to object. The RPSC Statistical Officer results for 2026 along with the cut-off marks are then published on the same website, after which document verification is carried out for those who have been shortlisted.
