📋 What the RPSC AE Prelims Paper Entails (Pattern & Structure)

Knowing the structure of the AE Prelims paper helps you effectively use downloaded PDFs:

• The Preliminary / Screening exam usually has two papers:

  • Compulsory / General Knowledge & Rajasthan / General Science (often Paper I)

  • Optional / Engineering Subject (Civil / Mechanical / Electrical / Agriculture) (Paper II) 

• Marks & Time:

  • Total: 400 marks (200 for compulsory + 200 for the optional)

  • Duration: 4 hours (2 hours per paper) 

  • The Prelims is a screening test — marks in Prelims may not count in final merit, only serve as qualification to Mains. 

• Question Type: Objective / Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) in both sections.

• Syllabus Focus:

  • Compulsory part includes Rajasthan’s history, geography, culture, economy, general science, and current affairs.

  • Optional part aligns with branch-wise engineering syllabus (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, etc.). 

So, when you download any past paper PDF, match it to your engineering branch and practice both parts.

✅ How to Download & Use the PDF Effectively

Here’s a quick stepwise guide:

1. Go to a reliable source (RPSC official site / FreshersNow / Engineers Academy).

2. Select your subject / branch (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, etc.).

3. Download the PDF — make sure it’s the Prelims / Screening version, not Mains.

4. Check answer keys if they are included (some PDFs also give solved versions).

5. Print or use digital viewer — annotate, highlight, mark difficult questions.

6. Simulate exam conditions — sit for full time (4 hours), no breaks, or in two parts (2 + 2 hours).

While solving:

• Attempt the compulsory part first (since many candidates find GK / state + general science easier).

• Use the optional subject paper to gauge strength and weak areas.

• After finishing, check answers / solutions using the key or reference.

• Make error logs: topics or types where you made mistakes — revisit those chapters.

🧠 Why Solving Past AE Prelims Papers is a Game Changer

• Familiarity with question types: You’ll see how RPSC frames GK / Rajasthan questions, and how technical questions are worded.

• Time management practice: You’ll know how much time to allot per question / section.

• Topic-weight insights: Some chapters tend to repeat more frequently; practicing across years reveals patterns.

• Self-benchmarking: If in 2025 your mock score matches or exceeds past top performers, you’re in a stronger position.

• Confidence boost: Solving real past exam sets helps reduce exam anxiety.

🔔 Things to Keep in Mind / Caveats

• The 2025 Prelims paper PDF might not be available immediately on the RPSC site. Past papers from earlier years may be the only option for now.

• Make sure you are downloading the correct exam year — do not mix older AE exams with non-AE exams.

• Check whether the PDF is complete (both compulsory + optional), or partial.

• Use solved / annotated papers where possible — raw unsolved papers are useful, but solutions help learning.

• Don’t rely solely on past papers — also read textbooks, syllabus, updates (especially for Rajasthan side GK).
