Important Dates

Vacancy Details

The notification advertised 371 Assistant Prosecution Officer posts in total. The result separates candidates qualified for the next stage by Scheduled Area and Non-Scheduled Area; the figures below are qualified candidates, not a vacancy breakdown. A total of 225 Scheduled Area candidates and 5,555 Non-Scheduled Area candidates have been declared provisionally qualified.

The merit-list PDF is 15 pages long and contains separate lists of seven-digit roll numbers for the two areas. Qualification is provisional: RPSC may cancel a candidate’s candidature at any stage if the candidate does not satisfy the eligibility requirements in the advertisement and applicable rules. The PDF also gives cut-offs for category and horizontal reservations, and records that 178 candidates were declared ineligible under the OMR instructions.

Scheduled Area cut-off marks

The Unreserved (UR) General cut-off for the Scheduled Area is 47.14 marks. The other cut-offs reported for this area are listed below.

Non-Scheduled Area cut-off marks

The highest listed general cut-off is 63.97 marks for UR candidates in the Non-Scheduled Area. Some women’s cut-offs are negative, which the notification attributes to negative marking in the examination.

In the cut-off remarks, “WD not available; DV considered against WD” means no eligible widow candidate was available, so the widow seat or seats were considered for divorcee candidates.

Non-Scheduled Area horizontal reservation cut-offs

The result also specifies cut-offs for horizontal reservations in the Non-Scheduled Area. For Ex-Servicemen, UR candidates have a cut-off of 5.05 marks. The SC and ST entries are listed as not available, while the OBC, MBC and EWS cut-offs are already included in their respective categories.

The following cut-offs are provided for Persons with Disabilities (PH):

RPSC has declared 178 candidates ineligible because they left more than 10% of the questions blank without marking any of the five options on the OMR sheet. This requirement appears in point 5 of the special OMR-filling instructions in the detailed advertisement dated 27 May 2026. The Commission stated that the roll numbers of these candidates would be published separately on its website. The merit-list PDF carries the signature of RPSC Secretary Ashutosh Gupta.
