About This Book

RAS Prelims Solved Papers – General Knowledge & General Science by Drishti Publications is a comprehensive previous-year question paper resource developed for candidates preparing for the Rajasthan State and Subordinate Services Combined Competitive Preliminary Examination.

The book contains solved question papers from five RAS Preliminary Examinations conducted in 2024, 2023, 2021, 2018 and 2016. The questions have been presented with authentic answers and detailed explanations to help candidates understand the nature, level and recurring trends of the examination.

The answers have been matched with the official answer keys released by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission. In cases involving disputed answers, the commission’s answer key has been treated as the standard reference. This approach supports reliable practice and reduces confusion during preparation.

The explanations do not merely provide a few facts about the correct option. Wherever relevant, they examine the available options, explain the associated concepts and provide additional factual information. The language has been kept simple and comprehensible so that candidates can revise important concepts efficiently.

The book also contains a detailed trend analysis of the RAS Preliminary Examination. It presents the distribution of questions across major subjects and examination years, helping aspirants identify high-weightage sections, frequently repeated areas and changes in the examination pattern.

By practising previous-year questions, candidates can develop a clearer understanding of the commission’s question style, improve their ability to interpret complex wording and strengthen their factual as well as conceptual preparation.

This book is useful for aspirants preparing for the RAS Preliminary Examination and other competitive examinations conducted in Rajasthan that include General Knowledge, General Science, Rajasthan-specific studies, reasoning and current affairs.
