Blank: 150 · +1.33 for right · −0.44 for wrong · each question 1.33 marks
0 / 200
How marks are counted
- 150 questions, 200 marks: each question is worth 200 ÷ 150 = 1.33 marks.
- A wrong answer costs one third of a question's marks (−0.44).
- Option E (“question not attempted”) scores 0: nothing added, nothing cut.
- A question with no option filled in at all, not even E, is a blank. More than 15 blanks (10% of 150) and the candidate is disqualified.
- Deleted questions count for no one and their marks are spread over the rest: in 2024 RPSC deleted 1 question, so each of the other 149 was worth 200 ÷ 149 = 1.34 marks.
- General male cut-off was 71.59 in 2024 and 100.69 in 2023.
Frequently asked questions
When will RPSC release the RAS Prelims 2026 answer key?
RPSC usually releases its model answer key within a few days of the exam, on its website. We will add the date here when RPSC announces it. On exam evening, TopKaro's teachers publish an unofficial key on this page so you can check your score sooner.
How do I raise an objection?
After the model key is out, RPSC takes objections online on its website for a few days. You log in, pick the question, give your reason with a source, and pay a fee per question as set in RPSC's notice. The final key comes after experts review the objections.
How is the score calculated?
Each of the 150 questions is worth 200 ÷ 150 = 1.33 marks. A wrong answer costs one third of that (−0.44); option E and blanks score 0. If questions are deleted, the 200 marks are spread over the questions that remain. The calculator above does all of this for you.
What is option E?
Every question has a fifth circle, E, for “question not attempted”. Marking E scores 0, with no negative mark. If more than 10% of the questions (15 of 150) have none of the five circles filled in, the candidate is disqualified.
Is the TopKaro key official?
No. Only RPSC's model and final keys are official. TopKaro's key is prepared by our teachers on exam evening so you can estimate your score early; answers we are not sure of are marked “?”, and we update the key when RPSC publishes its own.
