Preparation Tips
  • Hindi is 50 of the 85 marks. Grammar, word meanings and sentence correction at Class 10 level will decide most ranks.
  • Rajasthani culture and dialects carry 25 marks: fairs, folk deities, dances, crafts and which dialect belongs to which region.
  • There's no negative marking, so answer every question.
  • The interview is short but carries 15 marks, and with thousands of near-equal written scores it moves ranks.
