Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has released the answer key on 20 September 2026 for the Sub Inspector and Platoon Commander Re-Examination, conducted on the same day, 20 September 2026, for 859 posts across Sub Inspector (AP), Sub Inspector (IB), Sub Inspector (MBC), and Platoon Commander positions.
RPSC Sub Inspector Answer Key 2026: Overview
This re-examination and its answer key belong to the original 2021 RPSC Sub Inspector recruitment cycle, which RPSC had cancelled through an official press note after the original examination process was compromised. Only candidates who had appeared in both question papers of the original 2021 examination were eligible to appear for this re-conducted exam; no new applicants were accepted, since the candidate pool remained fixed from the 2021 recruitment cycle. This is a genuinely separate recruitment cycle from RPSC’s fresh 2025-26 Sub Inspector recruitment, which had its own examination on 5 and 6 April 2026 for 1,015 posts and its own separately released answer key; candidates should be careful not to confuse the two, since both carry the “RPSC SI” name but belong to entirely different recruitment years and vacancy counts.
