The wait is finally over for thousands of aspirants. The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has released the final results for RAS 2023. After a long 27-month process, the commission announced the results on Wednesday night. Kushal Chaudhary from Ajmer has topped the state, marking a proud moment for the city.
A 27-Month Journey Comes to an End
The RAS 2023 recruitment process started more than two years ago. The commission conducted interviews across nine phases over six continuous months. This extensive process began on 21st April and continued through multiple rounds of assessments.
During this period, the commission saw three different chairpersons. Sanjay Kumar Shrotriya and K.C. Meena served as chairpersons earlier, while U.R. Sahu completed the process and released the final results. Secretary Ramnaivas Mehta confirmed that 2,168 candidates were declared successful in the RAS main examination and called for interviews.
Understanding the Numbers
The selection process was rigorous. Out of thousands who applied, only 2,168 candidates made it to the interview stage. The commission conducted technical examinations and verification processes before the final announcement. The results received approval from Chairman Utkal Ranjan Sahu and the full commission before being made public.
One interesting aspect of this year's results is the gender distribution in the top ranks. Male candidates have dominated the top 10 positions, with eight men making it to the coveted list.
Meet the Top 10 Rankers
Here is the complete list of the top 10 candidates according to the commission:
1. Kushal Chaudhary (1101713) - Ajmer
The state topper hails from Ajmer and has made his city proud with this achievement.
2. Ankita Parashar (1100141) - Ajmer
The second position also goes to Ajmer, with Ankita Parashar from Pushkar securing this rank. Her story is particularly touching as she fulfilled a promise made to her ailing father.
3. Parameshwar Chaudhary (1100217) - Ajmer
Ajmer strikes again with the third rank. Parameshwar was previously selected in the SI recruitment, though people doubted his capabilities back then. He has silenced all critics with this remarkable achievement.
4. Ranjan Kumar Sharma (1107777) - Jhunjhunu
5. Vikram Singh Kheeriya (1100722) - Nagaur
6. Rashi Kumawat (1103935) - Jaipur
7. Anjani Kumar (1100038) - Nagaur
8. Pradeep Saharan (1104648) - Hanumangarh
9. Kamal Chaudhary (1102391) - Nagaur
10. Vikash Siyag (1107457) - Bikaner
Ajmer's Hat-Trick Performance
Ajmer district has reasons to celebrate. The city has produced not one, not two, but three candidates in the top three positions. This is a rare feat and speaks volumes about the quality of preparation and dedication of students from this region.
The success of these candidates will inspire many future aspirants from the region. It shows that with proper guidance and hard work, achieving top ranks is possible regardless of your background or location.
What Makes This Result Different
The commission has taken a different approach this year. Unlike the 2016 recruitment, where detailed marks of top candidates were released, the 2023 results do not include the marks obtained by the top ten candidates. This follows the pattern set in the 2018 and 2021 recruitments.
Another important point to note is that the results of 12 candidates remain under sealed cover. These results are subject to a petition filed in the Rajasthan High Court. The final status of these candidates will depend on the court's decision.
The Interview Process
The interview phase was conducted in nine stages over six months. This extended timeline ensured that each candidate received adequate attention and fair assessment. The commission maintained strict protocols throughout the process to ensure transparency and fairness.
Technical verification and background checks were conducted for all selected candidates. The commission left no stone unturned in ensuring that the selection process remained above board.
What This Means for Future Aspirants
If you are preparing for RAS or similar competitive exams, these results offer valuable lessons. First, persistence pays off. The 27-month process tested not just knowledge but also patience and determination.
Second, consistent preparation matters more than last-minute efforts. The toppers likely maintained a steady study routine throughout their preparation journey.
Third, don't let setbacks define you. Parameshwar Chaudhary's story is proof that previous selections or rejections don't determine your final success. Keep working towards your goal.
The Road Ahead
For the selected candidates, this is just the beginning. They will soon join the Rajasthan Administrative Service and take on responsibilities that will shape the state's future. The training period will prepare them for various challenges they will face as civil servants.
For those who could not make it this time, remember that every setback is a setup for a comeback. Analyze your performance, identify weak areas, and start preparing for the next attempt with renewed vigor.
Final Thoughts
The RAS 2023 results mark the end of a long wait for thousands of candidates. While some celebrate their success, others plan their next move. The commission has completed a complex process that spanned over two years and involved multiple stages of evaluation.
The success stories of toppers like Kushal Chaudhary, Ankita Parashar, and Parameshwar Chaudhary will inspire many future civil servants. Their achievement shows that with dedication, proper preparation, and unwavering focus, success in competitive exams is achievable.
The commission deserves credit for conducting such an extensive recruitment process while maintaining transparency and fairness. Despite changes in leadership and various challenges, the process reached its logical conclusion.
As these new officers prepare to serve Rajasthan, we wish them success in their careers. Their decisions and actions will impact millions of lives across the state. May they serve with integrity, dedication, and a genuine desire to make a difference.
