Rajasthan Police Constable Study Material
The Rajasthan Police Constable exam is the state's recruitment test for constable posts in the Rajasthan Police, covering General Duty, Driver, Band, Mounted and Telecommunication posts. The written test is followed by physical and document stages. This guide explains the latest cycle, the stages, eligibility, the exam pattern and how to prepare, so you can plan with facts instead of rumours.
The most recent notification we could verify is the 2025 cycle, announced in April 2025, with the written test held in September 2025. No fresh notification was confirmed on the official recruitment listings at the time of writing, so treat any new vacancy count or date you see on social media as unconfirmed until it appears on the official Rajasthan Police website.

Where the recruitment stands
The 2025 cycle ran in this order: notification on 9 April 2025, online applications from 28 April 2025, the written test on 13 and 14 September 2025, and the physical stage from December 2025. Results and merit lists followed on the official channels.
For the next cycle, the department has not announced a confirmed notification date on the sources we could verify. Some websites quote vacancy numbers such as 1,000 or 4,000 for a new cycle, but these do not match any official advertisement we could find. Plan your preparation around the existing pattern, and update your plan only when the official notice arrives.
Tentative dates come from reported schedules and can change. Track the recruitment section of the Rajasthan Police website and the state recruitment portal, and keep your registered mobile number active.
Vacancies in the latest cycle
Reports of the 2025 notification put the total at about 10,000 posts, made up of an initial 9,617 posts plus 383 added later. Post-wise numbers are reported as follows and should be treated as indicative until checked against the notification PDF.
Post | Reported vacancies |
|---|---|
General Duty Constable | About 7,600 (TSP and non-TSP areas combined) |
Driver Constable | About 460 |
Band Constable | About 70 |
Police Telecommunication Operator and Driver | About 1,470 |
These figures are not official totals for a future cycle. Vacancy numbers change with every notification, and the split between posts and categories is decided each time.
Eligibility in brief
Qualification
Qualification depends on the post. General Duty posts require a school-level pass from a recognised board, Telecommunication posts ask for Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics or Computer Science, and Driver posts need a valid driving licence. Reports of the exact school level for General Duty differ between sources, so confirm it in the notification. The Rajasthan Police Constable eligibility page explains each requirement.
Age limit
Reported 2025 limits were 18 to 24 years for men and 18 to 29 years for women for most posts, with higher limits for Driver posts. Reserved categories, women and ex-servicemen get relaxation. The reference date for counting age is set in each notification, so check it before you assume you qualify.
Other conditions
Candidates must meet the physical standards and pass the 5 km race, and are expected to know Hindi in Devanagari script. Medical conditions such as colour blindness or flat feet can lead to disqualification.
Selection process
The latest cycle used these stages in order:
Written examination: 150 objective questions in 2 hours.
Physical measurement and Physical Efficiency Test (PET): height, chest or weight standards and a 5 km race.
Proficiency test: for Driver, Band, Mounted and similar posts only.
Medical test and document verification.
Final merit list.
The weight given to the written test and the physical stage in the final merit is set in the notification. Read that rule in the current advertisement instead of relying on older articles.
Written exam pattern
Section | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
Logical ability, reasoning and basic computer knowledge | 60 | 60 |
General knowledge, general science, social science, current affairs, women and child rights laws, government schemes | 45 | 45 |
Rajasthan polity, history, economy, geography, culture and arts | 45 | 45 |
Total | 150 | 150 |
What this means for you: the reasoning section carries 40 percent of the paper, so it is the biggest single block. Rajasthan-specific topics make up another 30 percent, which rewards candidates who study the state well. Older pages may still show a different pattern, so follow the official notification. The detailed rules are on the Rajasthan Police Constable exam pattern page.
Physical tests
The 5 km race is timed. Reported limits are 25 minutes for men, 35 minutes for women and 30 minutes for ex-servicemen and tribal-area SC and ST candidates. Reported general standards are a height of 168 cm and chest of 81 cm (86 cm expanded) for men, and a height of 152 cm with a weight of 47.5 kg for women. Lower standards apply to Sahariya and certain tribal-area candidates. Verify every number in the current notification.
Syllabus overview
The notification names the three paper sections but does not publish a full topic list. The checklist is built from the section names and previous papers, so use it as a working guide and not as an official list.
Section | Important topics |
|---|---|
Reasoning and computer | Series, coding-decoding, analogies, puzzles, reasoning basics, computer fundamentals |
General knowledge and science | Indian polity, history, geography, general science, current affairs, government schemes |
Rajasthan | State history, art and culture, geography, polity, economy |

Pay and career
Constables are paid on the Rajasthan government pay matrix, and the pay level, allowances and probation terms are given in the notification. Estimates of in-hand salary quoted on other sites vary and are not official, so rely on the notification for pay figures. Promotion to Head Constable and beyond follows departmental rules and seniority.
How to prepare
Start with the pattern, because it tells you where marks come from. Give the first weeks to reasoning and Rajasthan GK, add current affairs daily, and build a physical routine for the 5 km race early, since the physical stage is a separate hurdle.
Weeks 1 to 6: cover concepts for reasoning and Rajasthan topics, and start running three days a week.
Weeks 7 to 12: add topic tests, revise with short notes and keep a log of wrong answers.
Final phase: attempt full-length tests, review the same day and increase running distance toward 5 km.
For timed practice in the current pattern, you can attempt Rajasthan Police Constable mock tests on Testkart and use the section-wise analysis to plan revision.
Cut-offs change every year with difficulty, vacancies and applicants. See the cut-off guide for how to set a safe target.
