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 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.
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
