Concept & Rules

Drafting in RAS Mains Paper IV tests whether the candidate can convert a given administrative situation into the correct official format. For Hindi-taught drafting, the final draft must be written in formal Devanagari Hindi. Marks are earned for the exact heading, issuing authority, subject, reference, operative order/information, date, place, signature block, distribution and disciplined official tone. Do not write an essay; write the document that the office would actually issue.
