Explanation
Following the National Education Policy 2020, Rajasthan is transitioning to a five-plus-three-plus-three-plus-four pedagogical structure. This new model replaces the traditional ten-plus-two system. It begins with a five-year foundational stage, followed by three years each for the preparatory and middle stages.

Q8534. Which of the following best describes the consequence if the State Government completely fails to consult the RPSC in making rules regarding the method of recruitment to a service?
Explanation
Since the constitutional provisions regarding consultation with the State Public Service Commission are directory in nature, the failure to consult does not render the resulting recruitment rules or administrative actions void. The commission serves an advisory role to assist the government in merit-based selection. While consultation is standard practice for good governance, its absence does not legally dismantle the government’s authority.

Q8536. Who holds the constitutional authority to remove the Chairman or any member of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission?
Explanation
Although the Governor of Rajasthan appoints the Chairman and members of the State Public Service Commission, the power to remove them is reserved exclusively for the President of India.
