The 2021 Sub‑Inspector re‑examination in Rajasthan now requires candidates to mark the fifth circle on the OMR sheet for any question they leave unanswered, under strict new guidelines.
The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has issued a detailed instruction for candidates appearing in the Sub‑Inspector re‑examination of 2021. Under the revised OMR protocol, any question that a candidate chooses not to answer must be indicated by filling the fifth circle on the answer sheet. Failure to do so will result in the response being recorded as incorrect, potentially affecting the candidate's total score.
The amendment aims to eliminate ambiguity in the evaluation process and ensure uniformity across all test‑takers. Candidates are advised to review the updated OMR guidelines thoroughly before the exam day to avoid inadvertent marking errors.
RPSC officials have emphasized that the new rule applies exclusively to the 2021 re‑exam and will be strictly monitored during the scanning and marking phase. Aspirants are encouraged to practice with sample OMR sheets that reflect the fifth‑circle marking requirement.
The commission has also reminded candidates to bring a valid photo‑ID and to adhere to all other standard examination protocols. Any deviation from the prescribed marking scheme may lead to disqualification or score penalties.
The re‑examination, scheduled across multiple centers in Rajasthan, continues to attract a large number of applicants seeking entry into the state police force, making compliance with the OMR rule critical for their selection prospects.
