RAS question
RPSC stands for:
Correct answer: (B) Rajasthan Public Service Commission.
RPSC stands for Rajasthan Public Service Commission, the state recruitment body headquartered in Ajmer.
Explanation
RPSC expands to Rajasthan Public Service Commission. The official RPSC homepage identifies the institution by this full name, and it conducts recruitment examinations for Rajasthan state government services and is headquartered in Ajmer. That is why option B is the only precise expansion. The other options change the nature of the body by replacing “Commission” with “Corporation”, narrowing it to police services, or inserting “Professional”, none of which matches the official name.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) “Corporation” is not part of the official expansion; RPSC is a Commission, not a public service corporation.
- (C) “Professional Service” changes the official name and does not match the body identified by the RPSC homepage.
- (D) “Police Service Commission” wrongly narrows RPSC to police services, while RPSC conducts recruitment exams for state government services.
Concept
This tests basic institutional literacy in Rajasthan polity and administration. RAS frequently asks such abbreviations because candidates must recognise the state bodies linked with recruitment and governance.
