Pattern observations:
- Topic 121 is consistently the highest-weight Public Admin topic at 13.5 avg marks — expect 2–3 questions in 2026.
- Rajasthan-specific legislation (Right to Hearing, Lokayukta Act) is regularly tested — prepare the provisions carefully.
- Secretariat-Directorate distinction is a classic and will likely appear again.
- Governor's discretionary powers and CM's constitutional duties (Article 167) are high-probability 5-mark questions.
- Revenue Board has not been directly asked yet — likely candidate for 2026.
