RPSC APO Selection Process 2026

Selection for the Assistant Prosecution Officer post involves two stages. There is no interview round — your rank on the Main Examination merit list determines your final selection.

Stage 1 – Preliminary Examination (Objective Type)

• The Prelim is a screening test and is objective (MCQ) type.
• 70% weightage is given to Law subjects as per the syllabus.
• 30% weightage is for proficiency in Hindi and English language.
• Marks scored in the Preliminary Exam do not count towards the final merit list — they are only used to shortlist candidates for the Main Exam.

Stage 2 – Main Examination (Written)

The Main Exam consists of three papers:

• Minimum qualifying marks in each paper: 40%
• For SC/ST candidates, this is relaxed by 5% (i.e., 35%)
• Appearing in every paper is compulsory — absence from any paper leads to disqualification.

💡 Since Prelim marks do not count for merit, focus your Main Exam preparation on Law Paper I — it carries the most weight (300 out of 400 marks total).
