RPSC LDC Exam Pattern, Important Dates
152 topics across 5 subjects. Every question carries a written explanation.
RPSC no longer recruits Lower Division Clerks. In Rajasthan the post is called Clerk Grade II, and since the 2014 setting up of what is now the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB), clerical posts like this have been filled by the Board. Look at the RSSB LDC page for the current exam.
RPSC's last clerk recruitment was the Clerk Grade II Combined Competitive Exam 2013, advertised on 26 July 2013, for posts in the RPSC office, the Secretariat and subordinate offices. Its first written exam, on 11 January 2014, was cancelled in December 2015 after a Special Operations Group report on a paper leak. The written exam was held again on 23 October 2016, the typing stage ran online on 7 and 8 March 2017, and the result came on 31 March 2017. Revised and court-ordered lists continued until 2021.

RPSC LDC Details
Exam Pattern
The 2013 exam had two written papers (Paper I: general knowledge, everyday science and mathematics; Paper II: general Hindi and general English), followed by a computer typing test. RSSB's current exam keeps a written paper and a typing test but has its own scheme and requires CET (Senior Secondary) qualification first; see the RSSB LDC page.
Important Dates
