How many administrative divisions (Sambhag) are there in Rajasthan?

Explanation

Rajasthan is organised into 7 administrative divisions, commonly called Sambhag, above the district level. Rajasthan's official land-revenue document titled "All Division & Districts," dated 29 January 2025, numbers the divisions from 1 to 7 and records the total as 07. They are Jaipur, Jodhpur, Ajmer, Bikaner, Kota, Udaipur and Bharatpur. The question asks for the number of divisions, not districts, so the correct answer is 7.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Five is wrong because Rajasthan has 7 administrative divisions, not 5.
• (C) Ten is wrong because Rajasthan has 7 administrative divisions, not 10.
• (D) Twelve is wrong because Rajasthan has 7 administrative divisions, not 12.

Concept

Rajasthan's administrative structure has a hierarchy of divisions and districts. Understanding this distinction is fundamental to RAS coverage of state administration, the revenue system and regional administrative units.
