The Rajasthan Subordinate and Ministerial Services Selection Board (RSMSSB) conducts the Patwari exam for posts in the Revenue Department. Knowing the syllabus and the exam pattern together helps you decide which subjects need the most time, because the marks are not spread equally across subjects.

Current Affairs: What to Focus On

How to Prepare for Rajasthan Patwari Exam 2026

1. Start with the marks split. Mental Ability, Reasoning and Basic Numerical Efficiency carry 90 of 300 marks, the largest share, followed by General Science, India GK and Current Affairs (76 marks) and Rajasthan GK (60 marks). Plan your study hours accordingly.
2. Cover Rajasthan GK topic by topic. Use the syllabus list above as a checklist: history, administration, culture, fairs and festivals, folk arts, and the freedom movement and integration of Rajasthan.
3. Practice reasoning and maths daily. With 45 questions in this block, regular timed practice on series, coding-decoding, blood relations, percentage, interest and profit and loss improves both speed and accuracy.
4. Do not skip the 15-question Computer section. Topics are limited (computer basics, RAM/ROM, operating system, MS Office), so it is quick to cover and worth 30 marks.
5. Practice on OMR sheets with the negative marking in mind. Each question has five options (A to E) and each wrong answer costs 1/3 mark. Solve previous year papers and mock tests in a 3-hour window and avoid blind guessing.
6. Revise current affairs regularly. Keep short notes under the focus areas above, with extra attention to Rajasthan state news.
