RAS question
RPSC stands for:
Correct answer: (B) Rajasthan Public Service Commission.
RPSC stands for Rajasthan Public Service Commission. The commission recruits for Rajasthan state government services and is headquartered in Ajmer.
Explanation
RPSC stands for Rajasthan Public Service Commission. It conducts recruitment examinations for Rajasthan state government services and is headquartered in Ajmer. Therefore, only option B gives the correct full form. The other options incorrectly call it a corporation, restrict it to police services, or add ‘Professional’ to its name. None of them matches the official name.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) ‘Corporation’ is not part of the official name. RPSC is a public service commission, not a public service corporation.
- (C) Adding ‘Professional Service’ changes the official name. RPSC is Rajasthan Public Service Commission, not a professional service commission.
- (D) ‘Police Service Commission’ incorrectly restricts RPSC to police services, while RPSC conducts recruitment examinations for state government services.
Concept
This question tests basic knowledge of institutions in Rajasthan polity and administration. RAS often asks such abbreviations because candidates need to know the state bodies associated with recruitment and governance.
