RPSC Calendar on UPSC Lines: RAS Recruitment Every Year, Advertisement for 500+ Posts Possible Before June 2027
Rajasthan is preparing to hold the RAS recruitment every year. After the RAS-2026 Pre exam on 6 December, the RAS-2027 advertisement is likely to be issued before June 2027. The next recruitment may have more than 500 posts. There is also a plan to release an RPSC exam calendar on the lines of UPSC.
What Is Being Planned
- There is a plan to hold the RAS recruitment every year on a regular basis.
- The RAS-2026 Pre exam will be held on 6 December; after that the RAS-2027 advertisement may come before June 2027.
- The next recruitment may have more than 500 posts.
- There is a plan to release an RPSC calendar on the lines of UPSC.
According to Dr. Dhiraj Kumar Singh, Joint Secretary in the Personnel Department, departments may review posts after RAS Pre 2026, and the process of seeking vacancies from departments for the new 2027 recruitment will be started.
The 5-Stage Advertisement Process May Be Cut
At present, before a RAS advertisement is issued, the process is completed at five levels, from departments up to the Rajasthan Public Service Commission. There is a plan to reduce these stages so that the advertisement can come in less time. About 5 lakh candidates appear in the RAS exam every year.

There has been talk before of making the RAS recruitment regular, but the system could not be applied continuously.
