RPSC Re-Totalling Opportunity opens a new chapter for candidates-

Jaipur, Nov.13,2025:The RPSC Re-Totalling Opportunity refers to the provision where after the release of the mains exam result of the state-level recruitment exam (specifically the RAS 2023 cycle), the commission has allowed candidates — including those who cleared for interview and those from horizontal categories (departmental employees, ex-servicemen, outstanding athletes, and differently-abled) who were unsuccessful — to apply for re-totalling of their marks (i.e., a re-addition of marks awarded) but not re-valuation of answer-scripts.

According to the official press note dated 12 November 2025, the commission opened the window from 17 November to 26 November (until 23:59:59 hrs) for the re-totalling application.
For reference material and process instructions, the RPSC’s “Help Document for Online Answer Booklet Download / Re-totalling process with payment mechanism” is publicly available.

Who is eligible under this opportunity

Under this RPSC Re-Totalling Opportunity, the following categories of candidates are eligible-

• Candidates who secured “qualified for interview” status in the RAS 2023 mains exam.
• Candidates from horizontal categories (departmental employees, ex-servicemen, outstanding athletes, differently-abled) who did not qualify for the interview but feel their total marks may require re-addition.
• The window is not intended for students seeking re-valuation of their answer booklets. The process is strictly limited to re-totalling of marks only.

This means if a candidate believes the addition of marks given by evaluators is erroneous (for example, marks omitted or calculation error) they can apply. However, they cannot challenge individual question assessments or request re-checking of answers.

Why this opportunity matters

 Ensures Fairness in Evaluation

The RPSC Re-Totalling Opportunity reinforces the idea that even if individual evaluations were done fine, simple arithmetic errors or omissions in total marks can disadvantage candidates. By enabling re-totalling, RPSC acknowledges and addresses such lapses.

 Boost for Assurance & Candidate Morale

For many aspirants, clearing competitive exams like the RAS Main Examination is a life-changing event. Knowing there’s an avenue to request re-totalling gives psychological assurance and reduces anxiety about appearing unfairly treated.

 Transparency in Public Recruitment

Public recruitment bodies increasingly face scrutiny for fairness, bias or accidental error. By publicly publishing the window and process for re-totalling, RPSC enhances transparency and public trust.

Specific Benefit for Horizontal Category Aspirants

Horizontal category candidates (departmental staff, Ex-Servicemen, outstanding athletes, differently-abled) who may miss out narrowly now have a realistic chance to challenge their total marks—closing a previous gap.

 Prompt Process with Clear Fee Structure

The fee of ₹25 per question keeps the process accessible and limited in cost, and the defined deadline ensures timely closure. This means candidates don’t remain in prolonged limbo.

 Sets a Precedent for Future Exams

By instituting this structured re-totalling route for RAS 2023, the commission sets a model for future examinations—not just in Rajasthan but potentially in other states—strengthening governance of competitive recruitments

How to apply easily

Here’s a step-by-step guide tailored for candidates leveraging the RPSC Re-Totalling Opportunity-

Tips for applicants

• Retain digital receipts/screenshots of payment and submission.

• Use the early days of the window rather than waiting till the last day (to avoid technical glitches).
• Understand that not all applications will yield changed marks — only genuine arithmetic errors will be corrected.

Impact on the RAS 2023 mains and beyond

The RPSC Re-Totalling Opportunity could have notable consequences-

• Merit list changes: If candidates secure additional marks, their ranking could improve, possibly shifting them into the “qualified for interview” bracket.
• Interview call-ups: For some borderline candidates, even a few additional marks could make or break their chance to be called for interviews.
• Confidence boost for future exams: Aspirants preparing for RAS 2024 and other recruitment exams will view the process as encouraging and may feel more assured about fairness.
• Commission credibility: A smooth re-totalling process enhances the reputation of RPSC as a responsive statutory body.
• Recruitment timeline management: With the process defined and time-bound, the RPSC can proceed with subsequent interviews and selections without prolonged delays.

For example, past instances show that earlier re-totalling windows (such as for RAS Mains 2022) were extended till December 15 due to large applicant numbers. The defined window for RAS 2023 now signals the commission’s commitment to adhering to schedule.

FAQs about the re-totalling process

Does applying for re-totalling guarantee increased marks

 No — only genuine arithmetic errors will be corrected. If the addition was correct, your marks will remain unchanged.

 Can I ask for re-valuation (i.e., review of individual answers)?
 No — this opportunity is strictly for re-totalling (i.e., to check whether marks awarded were correctly summed). The commission has clearly stated no re-valuation.

 What happens if I apply for wrong question numbers?
 Incorrect application may be rejected or may result in no change. Hence, verify carefully before submission.

 Will I be refunded the fee if my marks don’t change?
 Most likely no — the fee is for processing the request, not for guaranteed change.

 Where can I check the status of my re-totalling application?
 Via your login on the RPSC portal’s Exam Dashboard or notifications issued on RPSC’s press-notes page.

In competitive recruitment scenarios like the RAS Main Examination, where every mark counts, the RPSC Re-Totalling Opportunity arrives as a meaningful intervention. It addresses the very critical concern of arithmetic mistakes in mark addition, empowers aspirants to seek fairness, and uplifts the transparency and credibility of the process.
