Rajasthan GK covers the geography, history, culture, folk deities, fairs and festivals, and polity of the state.
Give the most time to Reasoning and Maths, because that section carries the most marks. For Rajasthan GK, study state books and previous year question papers. The OMR has 5 options, and option E means the question was not attempted. If more than 10 percent of questions are left blank without marking E, a candidate can be disqualified, so mark some option for every question.
