Computer Section — What Patwari Exam Tests

• e-Dharti: Land records (apna.khata.rajasthan.gov.in)
• BhuNaksha: Cadastral maps of Rajasthan plots
• RAJSWAN: Rajasthan state-wide area network
• SSO Portal: Single Sign-On for all Rajasthan government services

What No Other Site Tells You About Rajasthan Patwari

Computer section is 10% marks and most candidates score only 50% in it. 20 marks on basic MS Office and Rajasthan e-governance portals. Anyone who has used a computer and reads up on 5 key Rajasthan portals (e-Dharti, BhuNaksha, SSO, eMitra, JanSunwai) will score 16–18/20 here. This is your easiest section to improve.

Rajasthani dialect basics appear in Hindi section. RSSB Patwari Hindi paper includes 2–3 questions on Rajasthani dialect words and their Hindi equivalents. Words like "Mharo" (mera/हमारा), "Tharo" (tumhara), "Bapa" (Pitaji) — simple vocabulary questions, but candidates from outside Rajasthan consistently miss these.
