Important Links

Apply online direct link

The working official application route is the Rajasthan Recruitment Portal. After opening the direct link, click the Ongoing Recruitment tab on the Notice Board. Then find State Eligibility Test (SET) – 2026 and click the Apply button shown against University of Kota. The portal currently shows the closing date as 31-Jul-2026.

Eligibility and qualification

General, unreserved and General-EWS candidates need at least 55% marks in a Master’s degree or an equivalent qualification recognised by the UGC. OBC-NCL, SC, ST, PwD and third-gender candidates need at least 50%. Final-year postgraduate candidates and applicants awaiting their Master’s result may apply provisionally, but they must complete the qualification with the required marks within two years of the SET result.

Candidates must select the subject of their post-graduation. If their postgraduate subject is not offered in Rajasthan SET, the official notification advises them to consider UGC NET or the relevant CSIR-UGC NET examination. There is no upper age limit. The certificate remains valid for life, but its eligibility is limited to Assistant Professor recruitment within Rajasthan.

Subjects available in the revised notification

The revised Rajasthan SET 2026 notification lists 37 subjects: Chemical Sciences, Commerce, Computer Science and Applications, Earth Sciences, Economics, Education, English, Environmental Sciences, Geography, Hindi, History, Home Science, Law, Life Sciences, Management, Mathematical Sciences, Music, Philosophy, Physical Education, Physical Sciences, Political Science, Population Studies, Psychology, Public Administration, Rajasthani, Sanskrit, Sociology, Urdu, Visual Art, Library and Information Science, Persian, Punjabi, Sindhi, Statistics, Yoga, Mass Communication and Journalism, and Sanskrit Traditional Subjects.

Applicants with a Master’s degree in Geography and a specialisation in Population Studies may choose Population Studies. Check the exact subject code in the official PDF before final submission because the selected subject determines Paper II.

SET exam pattern and marking scheme

Both papers contain compulsory objective questions and run for three hours without a break. Each correct answer carries two marks, and there is no negative marking. The papers are available in Hindi and English, except language papers, which use the concerned language. For a deeper topic breakdown, read the Rajasthan SET 2026 syllabus and exam pattern.

This Rajasthan State Eligibility Test re-open update is useful for candidates who missed the first 15.07.2026 deadline. The official revised PDF confirms the new closing date, so the application should be completed before 10.08.2026 rather than waiting for the final day.
