Read This First – What Is Confirmed and What Is Not

Note: As of 28 September 2026, one report said that RSSB had not released a new Patwari notification. The syllabus on this page is the one in the information available. Please check the official notification when it comes.

Rajasthan Patwari Syllabus 2026 in Simple Words

A Patwari is the village-level revenue officer who keeps land records. To select Patwaris, the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board holds one written exam. It has 150 multiple-choice questions, and each question carries 2 marks. So the paper is for 300 marks, and you have 3 hours.

The syllabus is wide but simple. It has General Knowledge of Rajasthan, India GK with General Science, Hindi, English, Reasoning, basic Maths and basic Computer. The biggest block is Reasoning and Maths, with 45 questions, so a student who is good at it has an advantage.

The topics here are taken from the syllabus information available. For the India GK and General Science block, the source does not give a detailed list, so we add the topic areas reported by other education websites and mark them clearly. Please check the official syllabus PDF once the notification is out.

Rajasthan Patwari Exam Pattern 2026 – Subject-Wise Questions, Marks and Weightage

• Mental Ability, Reasoning and Basic Numerical Efficiency carry the highest share: 30% of the marks.
• India GK and General Science carry about 25.3%, and Rajasthan GK carries 20%.
• Hindi and English together carry about 14.7%, and Computer carries 10%.
• The share column and the points above are our simple calculations.

Negative Marking – How Much Is Deducted?

Reports say that 1/3 is deducted for each wrong answer. They do not say clearly whether it means 1/3 of one mark (0.33) or 1/3 of the 2 marks of the question (about 0.67). Rajasthan exams commonly deduct one-third of the marks of the question, but please read the notice. The table shows both ways so that you can see the difference.

• Because each wrong answer costs marks, guess only when you can cut at least two of the five options.
• With five options, a blind guess has only a 20% chance to be right.
• These scores are our calculations for understanding. They are not cutoffs.

OMR Sheet Instructions

• Each question has five options: A, B, C, D and E.
• Mark only one option for each question.
• Use a blue ball pen and fill the circle completely.
• After the stipulated time, candidates get 10 extra minutes to check that a circle is filled for every question.
• Do not make stray marks on the OMR sheet.
• Your time per question is about 1.2 minutes (180 minutes divided by 150 questions, our calculation).

Current Affairs – What to Study

Smart Preparation Strategy – Where Should You Spend Your Time?

• Reasoning and Maths (90 marks): Practise daily, because speed matters. Start with percentage, ratio, average, profit and loss, simple and compound interest.
• India GK and General Science (76 marks): Build basics from school books, and add current affairs every week.
• Rajasthan GK (60 marks): Use the topic list as a checklist. Rajasthan questions are often straight facts, so revision and short notes work very well.
• Hindi and English (44 marks): Practise grammar and idioms every day. These are quick marks.
• Computer (30 marks): The topics are few and easy to finish. Do not skip this section.
• Plan to attempt the sections you are strongest in first, and leave the doubtful questions for later.

Suggested 60-Day Study Plan (Not an Official Timetable)

Note: If you have more time, repeat the cycle twice. If the notification comes late, use the extra time for revision and mock tests.
