  1. so far I have seen Public Administration is definitely the winner, there is a huge positive scaling in this subject as expected due to paper being quite a tough by standard.
    Any idea about other optionals?

  2. i m bit disspointed as my score is well below what i calculated...dont knw the reason
    ReplyDelete
  3. commerce scaling is not huge but definitely postive.......
    ReplyDelete
  4. I agree with naresh regarding positive cutoff boost in public admin wherein 63 became 126 post scaling...history however saw a downslide in terms of scaling wherein 177 became 150....I can only say that strange are the ways of scaling!
    ReplyDelete
  5. My score is 228.11
    Not really disappointed as I was expecting around the same figure. But certainly disappointed with the cut-off marks. Last time it was 193 for general. Cut-off went up by almost 30 marks , thats quite a number.

  6. how is scaling done
    ReplyDelete
  7. Hi all, i am a bit disappointed with the way of scaling. There is no fault of candidates opted for optionals other than pub. ad. All papers should be of same standard. I can only feel sorry for history and yes i do agree with harry that strange are the ways of scaling. Aspirants with history optional make sure that they score 200/200 next time because u never know that u can be scaled down to 100.

  8. Scaling formula adopted by RPSC :

    your marks = M+(X-m)S/s

    M = the overall mean of the obtained marks
    X = Raw marks obtained
    m = mean of the particular subject
    S = standard deviation of all the marks obtained
    s = standard deviation of the particular subject

  9. Hi friends.. i can see that scaling is not a very big hit, atleast in this blog. I do sympathise with those who have been a victim to this process. However, friends u must take note of the fact that scaling is also applied in mains exam, in which case, it is even more unpredictable. The logic behind scaling seems to be the fact that you are positively rewarded for performing exceptionally well, but will be deducted lot of marks in case you perform below the average marks achieved by others. So all i can say is be cautious in ur choice of optional subjects in mains exam as well to avoid last moment disappointments.. anyways, i have sociology as my subject in prelims and there has been huge positive scaling..

  10. Naresh jee..Is there any authenticated key available for RAS2008 public admin prelimn paper
    ReplyDelete
  11. hi Harry,
    certainly there is authentic key of Pub Admn but that is only with RPSC and it seems RPSC not want to share it like Chiattishgarh Public Service Commission.
    Herman Vishnoi upload one but that too was not correct in many aspect, I myself tried but not get many of the answer so dropped the idea.

    friends,u r trying 2 challange the formula that is accepted by upsc and suprime court of india.so u should focus yr studies rather than thinking about scalling.

  13. friends can anyone of you provide me papers of zoology botany mains....rajmeena24@yahoo.com....i got 270 marks in pre and selected for mains ....help me duds...

  14. Hi Raj,
    dear its not available on net as far as I know, you can have those from any book depot in Jaipur mainly in tonk phatak area,
    also I want to add that RPSC not give mains paper for home so all these are based on memory retention of candidates but are near accurate.
    cheers !

    hi, friends .......... scalling is totally a rational process... it depends on deficulty level of of the paper.. so dont think about .. focus on ur study.... good luck.. can you tell me about RAS mains dates
    ReplyDelete
  16. Dear Naresh,
    You are such a resourceful person for RAS. I appreciate your helping attitude. Do you have any idea if RAS mains papers (latest with 2007 papers) are available in Delhi too?

  17. Hi Tripti,
    I think you will get those from Jawahar book depot or area near Batra Cinema, mukherjee Nagar, if not get from any of these you can arrange those from Jaipur.

  34. Hi Naresh ,

    I am software engineer in gurgaon and belong to jaipur. I have started preparation for RAS and
    select history and geography subject.
    History for pre exam.

    I just see some comments on this blog about scaling and i am in tension now regarding -ve scealing of HISTORY. Please tell me more about
    this process and suggest me i am right or wrong to choose these subject. History is one of my fav subject.

    Manish Dadhich
    ReplyDelete
  35. Hi Manish Histroy is good subject to opt and seeing ur interest in the subject u must opt it and don't worry abt Scaling and other facts as we should not worry abt things not in our hands. To summarise scaling is a method to neutralise the benefits if any available to those subject whose paper is much easier than others and not make huge difference to the serious students much.
    ReplyDelete
  36. Hi Naresh ,
    Thanks for reply. I do agree with you that we should not worry abt things not in our
    hands but do you think history paper is much easier than Pub. Ad , so RPSC do -ve scaling for History.

    Can you suggest me some useful book for history , geography and related to Rajasthan.

  39. hi naresh,i m preparing for ras and my sub is mining engg and geography.can u tell me that where can i get previous year paper of mining engg and can u tell me the bookes name related to geography and notes.......
    can u tell me that which sub is easy-pub add or geography ?
    ReplyDelete
  40. @ Manish : its difficult to get previous year papers of Mining Engg as not many opt for the optional and as you might know RPSC not give paper to take that with you so its little difficult but you can ask some bookstall in Tonk Phatak Area. Regarding Geo books I am not sure. Pub Admn is good optional for RAS but for IAS you need extra effort in it.

    RAJ SINGH
    ReplyDelete
  49. @ Raj : if you are comfortable in Electronic Engg then there should not be any reason to not opt this optional, go for it. Scaling's impact is beyond one's hand and one who perform well are always in advantageous position.

    can a person from another state can give ras exam ,,,,
    ReplyDelete
  58. and does the same thing goes right for the other states psc exams also,,,,,,,,,,
    ReplyDelete
  59. civil engg and maths are good subjects to opt if u have command over the subject. But i wud suggest to go for IAS as there you will get better career prospects although in a year or two the pattern of IAS exam may have some drastic changes so look for it. But what these exam check is your common sense and your awareness abt ur surroundings so have a clear concepts in ur mind and u can easily crack it. good luck.
    ReplyDelete
  60. Hi,
    yes anyone can give the RAS exam if one fulfill the eligibility conditions and there is no domicile rule as such in the PSC exams but various states has there own method to isolate the other state candidates like by making language paper compulsory or by including state specific papers.

  61. what are the chances for a male candidate from general category to crack ras exam,around how many seats are out there for general males,is preparation for ras a better idea for a candidate belonging to general category.

  73. @Priyanka : Thanks, Well if you go through all the matter you would have know the answer anyway Comp Sc. is not much popular among candidates as in IAS Comp Sc. is not there so if one want to go for IAS also then it will be little difficult. But at the same time its also true that in RAS some students opt this subject and also get thru but the prev year paper availability isproblem. In Jaipur you can easily get prev yr paper of popular optionals at Tonk Phatak area and Chaura Rasta

  88. @ leena : I think its little difficult to get civil engg papers better ask some senior who opted this subject, no nee to have science related books if u r frm science background. GS and GK books are in plenty at tonk phatak and chaura rasta. So select judiciously.
    @ Puneet : u can opt comp sc and pol sc. pub admn seems to be more preferable by science b/g students as the management part is better understandable
