Tough Question Paper and Mandatory 40% Minimum Marks
In the re-exam held on 20 September 2026, candidates faced an extremely difficult question paper. Especially, the level of General Knowledge and General Science (Paper-II) was so tough that even well-prepared candidates struggled. Due to this high difficulty level, there is significant anxiety among candidates regarding the minimum qualifying marks.
According to RPSC rules, candidates must obtain separate minimum marks in both papers to remain in the selection process:
- General and OBC Category: It is mandatory to obtain a minimum of 40% marks in each paper.
- SC and ST Category: It is mandatory to obtain a minimum of 36% marks in each paper.
Important Fact: The level of the exam was so difficult that many experts believe scoring even 40% marks will prove to be a major challenge this time. Under these circumstances, there are also apprehensions that some posts in reserved categories might remain vacant due to candidates failing to secure the minimum qualifying marks.
Attendance and Level of Competition in the Exam
This time, only those candidates who were present in the original 2021 exam were allowed to appear in the re-exam. Consequently, a massive drop was recorded in the number of registered candidates. While around 7.97 lakh candidates had applied in 2021, only 2,18,114 candidates were deemed eligible for this re-exam.
According to the official data of the Commission, the attendance in both shifts on the exam day was as follows:
- First Shift (General Hindi): A total of 1,51,774 candidates were present (69.58% attendance).
- Second Shift (General Knowledge & Science): A total of 1,50,559 candidates were present (69.03% attendance).
Since appearing in both papers is mandatory for the final merit list, the actual competition is only among those 1,50,559 candidates who participated in both exams. This number is significantly lower compared to the previous exam, which might make the path to selection slightly easier for candidates who prepared seriously.
