Paper I's broad areas are current affairs, Rajasthan history/culture/geography/economy, Indian history/polity/geography, general science, educational psychology & pedagogy, reasoning, and elementary maths/statistics. *Exact subject-wise Paper II topic lists should be pulled from the specific PDF for the subject you're teaching, as they weren't extractable in this research pass.

*Reported as Pay Level 11 or 12 depending on source (figures conflict) — do not quote an exact rupee amount without checking the current Rajasthan government pay matrix. Probation-period pay is commonly cited around ₹31,100/month for the first two years.
