RSSB CET Graduate Level 2026 apply online closed on 02.08.2026 at 23:59, and the only later notice from the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board is the date change below. The paper is now scheduled for 16.01.2027 to 18.01.2027. RSSB moved it by a press note of 28.09.2026, citing the urban body and panchayat elections in October 2026, and the 01.12.2026 to 03.12.2026 dates now belong only to the Senior Secondary level CET. No admit card was listed on the Board’s Admit Card section or on the Rajasthan Recruitment Portal’s Get Admit Card page when both were checked on 11.09.2026. The figures below come from Advertisement No. 09/2026.
What the score is worth afterwards is where most candidates go wrong. A CET score lasts three years now, not one. And a candidate who sits the paper but stays under 40 per cent cannot appear in the recruitment examination that follows it. Both rules are printed in the advertisement.
Application window and exam schedule
| Recruitment term | What Advertisement 09/2026 says |
|---|---|
| Advertisement number | 09/2026, signed by the Board’s Secretary on 01.07.2026. |
| Application window | 04.07.2026 to 02.08.2026 up to 23:59, through SSO Rajasthan. |
| Written examination | 16.01.2027 to 18.01.2027, offline on OMR sheets. |
| Admit card | Not out as on 11.09.2026, it comes through SSO and the Recruitment Portal. |
| Paper | 150 questions, 300 marks, three hours, one third off per wrong answer. |
| Fifth circle on the OMR | Mark it for any question you skip, or lose a third of its marks. |
| Normalisation | Applied if the paper runs in more than one session. |
Note: The file number is P-14(214)RSSB/Arthna/CET Graduate/2026. The link became inactive after the window, and offline forms were never accepted. The Board kept the right to change the exam dates. Leaving no circle darkened on more than 10 per cent of the paper disqualifies the candidate outright, and ten extra minutes are given at the end only to fill these circles.

Note: The advertisement is eight pages of rules plus the syllabus, in Hindi, on the Board’s own server. In the RSSB section choose year 2026 and Common Eligibility Test (Graduation Level). The application link inside SSO shut on 02.08.2026, and the same login carries the admit card later. The Board’s News section is where any change to the December dates would show first, and nothing on this exam had appeared there since 01.07.2026.
Score validity and the 40 per cent bar
| Scoring rule | What applies |
|---|---|
| Validity of the score | Three years from the result date, per the notification of 16.01.2025. |
| The 2024 score | Expired on 11.02.2026, so CET 2024 candidates had to apply afresh. |
| Minimum marks | 40 per cent, or no call for any covered post. |
| Lower bar for SC and ST | Relaxed by up to 5 per cent, to 35 per cent. |
| Attempts allowed | No limit, and the best valid score counts. |
| Marks publication | On each candidate’s SSO ID, with the pass list on the Board website. |
| What clearing does not give | No appointment, as each post runs its own main exam. |
Note: The validity rule is the Personnel Department’s. The 2024 score carried one year of validity. The 40 per cent bar comes from the notification of 03.08.2024 and covers both the written exam and interview. The best score counts as it stands before a post’s recruitment exam. Selection in each main exam is by merit against category-wise vacancies under that post’s service rules.
Services and posts covered by this eligibility test
The advertisement lists twelve service-and-post entries, not the seven or eight usually quoted. Patwari, Junior Accountant and Hostel Superintendent each appear twice because two different services recruit them, so twelve entries mean eight distinct post names.
| Service | Post |
|---|---|
| Rajasthan Home Guard Subordinate Service | Platoon Commander |
| Rajasthan Engineering Subordinate (Irrigation) Service | Patwari |
| Rajasthan Subordinate Accounts Service | Junior Accountant |
| Rajasthan Revenue Accounts Subordinate Service | Tehsil Revenue Accountant |
| Rajasthan Women Empowerment Subordinate Service | Supervisor (Women Empowerment) |
| Rajasthan Integrated Child Development Subordinate Service | Supervisor |
| Rajasthan Jail Subordinate Service | Deputy Jailor |
| Rajasthan Social Welfare Subordinate Service | Hostel Superintendent Grade II |
| Rajasthan Revenue (Land Records, Land Management and Colonisation) Subordinate Service | Patwari |
| Rajasthan Panchayati Raj | Gram Vikas Adhikari |
| Rajasthan State Agricultural Marketing Board (Service) | Junior Accountant |
| Rajasthan Tribal Areas Development State and Subordinate Service | Hostel Superintendent (Male or Female) Grade II |
Vacancy numbers are not part of this advertisement. The Board says department-wise and service-wise vacancies will be shown when it issues the advertisement for each post’s main examination.
Who could apply and what it cost
| Eligibility or payment rule | What the advertisement fixes |
|---|---|
| Qualification | Graduate or equivalent, with final-year students allowed. |
| Age band | 18 to 40 years as on 01.01.2027. |
| General category women | Five years above the upper limit. |
| Rajasthan SC, ST, OBC, MBC and EWS men | Five years. |
| Rajasthan SC, ST, OBC, MBC and EWS women | Ten years. |
| Applicants with a disability | Five years, over and above the post’s own rules. |
| Ex-servicemen | Fifteen years, but the resulting age cannot cross 50. |
| Widows and divorced women | No upper age limit short of retirement age. |
| Relaxations together | They do not add up, only one applies. |
| One-time registration fee | Rs 600 general, Rs 400 for reserved and disabled applicants. |
| Candidates from other states | Treated as general, so Rs 600 and no relaxation. |
| Fee paid earlier | Nothing more, as the fee is charged only once. |
| Correction charge | Rs 300, with some fields locked. |
| Penalty for staying away | Missing two exams in a year blocks the registration. |
| Helplines | eMitra 0141-2922241, 0141-2922238, application 0294-3057541, Board 0141-2722520. |
Note: Final-year students must hold the degree as the rules of the post they later chase require. The Rs 600 fee also applies to creamy-layer OBC or MBC. The Rs 400 fee covers Rajasthan non-creamy OBC, MBC, EWS, SC and ST, and every applicant with a disability. The one-time fee covers later Board recruitments. The first correction window opens three days after the application window shuts, and a second correction is allowed on payment, but name, photograph, signature, handwriting sample and educational qualification cannot be changed. The absence rule counts exams of the Commission, this Board or another Rajasthan recruitment agency in one financial year, and Rs 750 restores the registration the first time and Rs 1,500 the second, under the circular of 09.05.2025. The Board number is its reception line.
Age and qualification for each individual post are governed by that post’s own service rules, so clearing this test does not settle eligibility for, say, Deputy Jailor or Platoon Commander. Those conditions come with the main examination advertisement. Last updated: 11.09.2026.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the RSSB CET Graduate Level 2026 form still open?
No. The window ran from 04.07.2026 to 02.08.2026 up to 23:59 on SSO Rajasthan and the advertisement says the link goes inactive after that. Offline forms were never accepted, so there is no late route in.
How long does a graduate-level CET score stay valid?
Three years from the date of the result, under the Personnel Department notification of 16.01.2025. The 2024 score only carried one year and expired on 11.02.2026, which is why 2024 candidates had to apply again this time.
What is the minimum mark needed in the CET?
40 per cent. A candidate below that cannot be called for the written exam or interview of any post covered by this test. SC and ST candidates get up to 5 per cent relaxation, so 35 per cent.
When will the admit card come out?
It is not out. The exam now runs 16.01.2027 to 18.01.2027, as revised by RSSB on 28.09.2026, and the card is issued through the SSO login and the Rajasthan Recruitment Portal. Both the Board admit card section and the portal list were empty for this exam on 11.09.2026.
Does clearing the CET mean a government job?
No. It only makes a candidate eligible to apply when a covered post opens. Each of those posts runs its own main examination under its own service rules, and selection there is on merit against category-wise vacancies.
What happens if I skip the exam after applying?
Missing any two Rajasthan recruitment examinations inside one financial year blocks the one-time registration. Rs 750 restores it, and a repeat in the same year costs Rs 1,500, under the circular of 09.05.2025.
