RAS question
Where is the headquarters of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC)?
Correct answer: (D) Ajmer.
The headquarters of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission is in Ajmer.
Explanation
Rajasthan Public Service Commission is headquartered in Ajmer: its official website identifies the Commission at Ghooghara Ghati, Jaipur Road, Ajmer 305001. That is why Ajmer, not the state capital Jaipur, is the right location for the RPSC headquarters. The point matters because RPSC is the recruitment authority behind major Rajasthan government examinations, including RAS/RTS, Sub-Inspector and other state service examinations. The Commission was established in 1949, so this is not a casual current-affairs detail but a core institution fact within Rajasthan’s administrative system.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Jodhpur is associated with the principal seat of the Rajasthan High Court, not with the RPSC headquarters.
- (B) Jaipur is Rajasthan’s state capital, but the RPSC’s official address places the Commission in Ajmer.
- (C) Udaipur is not identified as the headquarters of RPSC in either the question explanation or the Commission’s official address.
Concept
This tests institutional locations under Rajasthan’s political and administrative system. It recurs in RAS because RPSC itself conducts key state recruitment examinations, so its seat is treated as basic administrative knowledge.
