PYQ Pattern Analysis

Questions Asked

No verbatim PYQ data is available in the grounding dataset for Topic #37 for the specific exam years 2013–2024. Based on the PYQ tier classification (Tier 3 — appeared in 2/5 recent exams, avg 1.0 marks/year) and standard RPSC exam patterns, the topic has been tested at the 5-mark level (factual) in at least 2 of the last 5 exams. The following characterize known question types from adjacent topics and this topic's tier:

  • RPSC Mains [recent cycle], Paper I (5 marks): "Write a note on Chiranjeevi Yojana and its impact on health coverage in Rajasthan." — tests scheme name, launch date, coverage amount, beneficiaries.
  • RPSC Mains [recent cycle], Paper I (5 marks): "What is the literacy rate of Rajasthan? Discuss the gender gap in literacy." — tests Census 2011 figures and male/female breakdown.
  • RPSC Mains [recent cycle], Paper I (10 marks): "Examine the health and human development indicators of Rajasthan with reference to NFHS data. Suggest measures for improvement." — analytical, requires IMR, MMR, TFR, MPI data.

What RPSC Tests

  • Factual recall (5-mark questions): Scheme names, launch dates, coverage amounts, beneficiary counts, NFHS data points (IMR, TFR), literacy percentages, MPI figures.
  • Analytical application (10-mark questions): Comparing Rajasthan's indicators against national benchmarks, evaluating scheme effectiveness, discussing structural causes of unemployment or poverty, linking health-education-poverty.
  • Recurring sub-themes: (a) Health insurance schemes (Chiranjeevi/MAAY), (b) female literacy and gender gap, (c) multidimensional poverty measurement.

Frequency and Trend

  • Appearances: 2 out of 5 recent exams (2013, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2023/2024)
  • Trend: Rising — the 2026 revised syllabus explicitly names "human resource" as a distinct Part B sub-unit, elevating its formal status over previous iterations where it was embedded within welfare or social sector topics.
  • Marks range: 5-10 marks when it appears.

2026 Prediction

The following aspects are most likely to appear in the 2026 exam:

  1. Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana (MAAY): The rebrand from Chiranjeevi Yojana, the ₹25 lakh coverage figure, national portability introduced in 2025, and integration with PM-JAY are all exam-ready facts. High probability 5-mark question.

  2. Mukhyamantri Yuva Swarojgar Yojana (2026): Freshly launched January 2026, making it a current-affairs-meets-syllabus sweet spot. Likely 5-mark question on scheme features.

  3. Female literacy and education gap: A perennial favourite. With Praveshotsav 2026 and the RBSE results in news, gender equity in education is doubly relevant.

  4. Multidimensional Poverty — MPI 2023: The NITI Aayog MPI framework and Rajasthan's 47% reduction is a high-probability 10-mark analytical question linking poverty measurement methodology with ground-level outcomes.

  5. Health infrastructure — medical colleges expansion: 5 new medical colleges in 2024-25 taking the total to 43 is a quantitative fact RPSC favours.
