Relief for Aspirants as Rajasthan Cabinet Decides to Postpone RAS Mains Exam
Bhajan Lal Cabinet's Prudent Move Addresses Aspirants' Concerns, Paves the Way for a Fair Examination Environment.
Rajasthan, India: In the inaugural cabinet meeting of the newly-formed BJP government in Rajasthan addressed the persistent concerns of candidates appearing for the Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) Mains Examination. The deliberations centred around the demands of RAS aspirants who had been actively campaigning for the postponement of the recruitment examination due to the limited preparation time afforded to them.
The aspirants’ concerns had manifested in a ten-day-long protest staged at the main gate of Rajasthan University, bringing attention to the challenges they faced in adequately preparing for the RAS Mains Exam. The protest, underscored by a social media campaign, echoed the sentiments of numerous candidates grappling with the shortage of preparation time and urging authorities to reconsider the exam date.
In response to the escalating situation, the Rajasthan cabinet, during its first meeting under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal, engaged in discussions specifically addressing the demands related to the RAS Mains Exam. Post-deliberations, a consensus emerged within the cabinet to postpone the scheduled exam date, bringing a ray of hope and relief to the aspirants.
The decision is anticipated to prompt the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) to announce a revised date for the RAS Mains Exam shortly. This development is expected to bring an end to the ongoing protests by RAS aspirants, who had been anxiously awaiting a positive outcome from the state authorities.
The prolonged protest at Rajasthan University’s main gate had attracted the attention of key political figures, including Cabinet Minister Kirodi Lal Meena and Education Minister Madan Dilawar. Their assurances and interactions with the aspirants demonstrated a willingness to address the concerns of the candidates and find a solution to the pressing issue.
The cabinet’s decision aligns with the aspirations of the RAS aspirants who had tirelessly advocated for a change in the exam schedule. The candidates, expressing their gratitude on social media, welcomed the positive development as a vindication of their collective efforts and determination.
As the RPSC prepares to announce the revised date for the RAS Mains Exam, the proactive response of the newly formed Rajasthan government highlights a commitment to consider and address the genuine concerns of its citizens, particularly those navigating the challenges of competitive examinations.
