RAS Main Exam 2025 Begins Amid Protests
The Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) Main Exam is happening right now, and lots of people are taking it.
More than 21,000 candidates are trying to pass this important test in two big cities.
Even though some students want the exam to be put off because they're not happy with how things went with the previous exam, the government is still conducting the exam.
Some students have even been on hunger strikes.
The people in charge of the exam are making sure everything goes smoothly, despite the ongoing protests and issues.
RAS Main Exam 2025 commenced today with over 21,539 candidates participating.
The exam is taking place in two shifts across 77 centers in Jaipur and Ajmer.
Protests continued, with aspirants demanding postponement due to 2023 recruitment issues.
Candidates cited issues and preparation problems related to border regions and military operations.
RPSC filed a caveat, seeking to be heard before any interim relief is granted by the High Court.
