Q1Consider the following statements: 1. The competitive examination is conducted by the Commission in two stages. 2. These two stages are the Preliminary Examination and the Main Examination. 3. Candidates who obtain the qualifying marks fixed by the Commission in the Main Examination are summoned for interview. Which of the statements given above are correct?
All three statements are correct. Rule 15 states that the examination is in two stages, namely Preliminary and Main, and that candidates obtaining Main Examination qualifying marks fixed by the Commission are summoned for interview.
Q2Consider the following statements: 1. The application for appearing at the Preliminary Examination is made in a format approved by the Commission. 2. Candidates who qualify for interview may later be required to submit more detailed information in an approved printed form. 3. For one or more eligible posts or services in the notice, only one application and one payment of fee is sufficient. 4. Candidates are required to indicate service preferences before appearing in the Preliminary Examination. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is true for candidates who qualify for interview. Statement 3 is true: one application and one fee payment is enough for eligible posts/services under the notice. Statement 4 is false because preferences are required from candidates who qualify at the main examination to be summoned for interview, not before the Preliminary Examination.
Q3Consider the following statements about wrong-answer treatment and non-attempt marking in RPSC OMR instructions: 1. If no circle is darkened for a question, it is simply ignored without deduction or disqualification consequences. 2. If the fifth circle is darkened for a question, that question does not attract negative marking as an unattempted question. 3. If more than one answer circle is darkened, it is treated as a wrong answer. 4. If none of the five circles is darkened in more than 10% of questions, disqualification may follow. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 2, 3 and 4 are correct. RPSC treats circle 5 as a non-attempt marker, treats multiple answers as wrong, and links blanking more than 10% of questions to disqualification. Statement 1 is false because blanking is not consequence-free: the instructions prescribe deduction where none of the five circles is darkened and disqualification beyond the 10% threshold.
Q4Consider the following statements about Article 319 after a Public Service Commission member ceases to hold office: 1. The Chairman of the Union Public Service Commission is ineligible for further employment under the Government of India or any State Government. 2. The Chairman of a State Public Service Commission may be appointed as Chairman or member of the Union Public Service Commission. 3. A member other than the Chairman of a State Public Service Commission may be appointed Chairman of that or any other State Public Service Commission. 4. A member other than the Chairman of a State Public Service Commission may take any other employment under a State Government after demitting office. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct under Article 319. Statement 4 is false because a member other than the Chairman of a State Public Service Commission is eligible for certain PSC posts but not for any other employment under the Government of India or a State.
Q5Consider the following statements about RPSC interaction with citizens: 1. Objections, complaints and petitions are received by Public Information Officers of RPSC. 2. Citizens' emails and grievances are replied to and action is taken to redress them. 3. RPSC's handbook says citizens' grievances are forwarded only to the Union Public Service Commission. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct: RPSC Public Information Officers receive objections, complaints and petitions, and the commission replies to citizens' emails and grievances and acts to redress them. Statement 3 is incorrect because grievances are handled by RPSC rather than being forwarded only to UPSC.
