This booklet from Arihant Publishers & Distributors is a Diglot Edition — the content is given in both Hindi and English (हिन्दी एवं अंग्रेज़ी, दोनों भाषाओं में) — prepared under the guidance of Shri Jagroop Singh Yadav (IAS), former Collector of Jaipur and Member of the Rajasthan Administrative Tribunal. It covers the Rajasthan Administrative Service examination (राजस्थान प्रशासनिक सेवा परीक्षा) conducted by RPSC, at a fixed rate of ₹50.
This is an orientation and syllabus book, not a study guide, and that is precisely its use. Every year a large number of candidates begin RAS preparation by buying subject books before they have understood the examination — how many stages there are, how marks are distributed, what the mains papers demand, and which parts of the syllabus carry the weight. Starting without that picture is how candidates lose a first attempt. At ₹50 this fills the gap before any serious money is spent on subject material.
The contents follow the questions a beginner actually has: what RAS is (RAS क्या है?), the strategy for the examination (परीक्षा की रणनीति), the examination scheme (एग्जामिनेशन स्कीम), the full RAS Pre and Mains syllabus (RAS Pre/Mains सिलेबस), why RAS should be chosen as a career option (RAS को करियर विकल्प क्यों चुनें?), and a list of useful books (उपयोगी पुस्तकें) for each part of the syllabus. That last section is the practical payoff — knowing which books to buy, and which not to, before committing to a reading list. The involvement of a former IAS officer and serving tribunal member as guide gives the strategy section weight it would not otherwise carry. The whole booklet is presented in both Hindi and English.

अरिहंत पब्लिशर्स एंड डिस्ट्रीब्यूटर्स द्वारा प्रकाशित 'RAS — क्या, क्यों, कैसे' (सिलेबस संस्करण 2026) श्री जगरूप सिंह यादव (IAS), पूर्व कलेक्टर जयपुर एवं सदस्य, राजस्थान एडमिनिस्ट्रेटिव ट्रिब्यूनल के मार्गदर्शन में तैयार की गई है। यह विषय अध्ययन की पुस्तक नहीं, अपितु परीक्षा को समझने एवं तैयारी की योजना बनाने की पुस्तिका है। प्रतिवर्ष अनेक अभ्यर्थी परीक्षा का स्वरूप, चरण, अंक-विभाजन एवं पाठ्यक्रम का भारांक समझे बिना ही विषय की पुस्तकें खरीद लेते हैं और प्रथम प्रयास इसी में व्यतीत हो जाता है — मात्र ₹50 की यह पुस्तिका उसी कमी को पूरा करती है। इसमें RAS क्या है, परीक्षा की रणनीति, एग्जामिनेशन स्कीम, RAS प्री एवं मुख्य परीक्षा का सम्पूर्ण सिलेबस, RAS को करियर विकल्प के रूप में चुनने के कारण तथा प्रत्येक खंड हेतु उपयोगी पुस्तकों की सूची दी गई है। पुस्तक सूची वाला भाग विशेष उपयोगी है, क्योंकि इससे यह स्पष्ट हो जाता है कि कौन-सी पुस्तकें लेनी हैं और कौन-सी नहीं। ध्यान दें: यह डाइग्लॉट संस्करण है — सामग्री हिन्दी एवं अंग्रेज़ी दोनों भाषाओं में दी गई है।
