The Rajasthan Public Service Commission is reviewing the question paper format for its recruitment exams, aiming to balance difficulty after several posts remained vacant.
The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) is considering a change in the pattern of its recruitment examination papers. The move comes after a number of advertised positions remained unfilled, prompting the commission to reassess the difficulty balance of the tests.
A committee set up by RPSC has recommended reducing the proportion of highly challenging questions. The objective is to create a more equitable assessment that still differentiates candidates but does not overly penalise them for overly tough items.
If approved, the revised paper format would be implemented in upcoming recruitment cycles across various state services. The commission has not disclosed a timeline for the final decision, but officials indicated that the recommendation will be discussed in the next board meeting.
Stakeholders, including coaching institutes and aspirants, have welcomed the prospect of a more balanced exam, noting that it could improve the overall selection process while maintaining meritocratic standards.
