Caveat worth repeating: as of this writing, the complete 2026 constable notification with verified vacancy number, application window and precise fee structure had not been officially released. All the above information on Police is based on current numbers from the department and previous cycles, so treat the numbers as indicative until the notification hits.

Teaching: REET and 3rd Grade Teacher Recruitment

The probation salary is about Rs. 23,700 per month, and upon confirmation, the net salary is normally between Rs. 51,000 and Rs. 58,000 depending on DA and HRA.

Age between 18-40 years old candidates are eligible to apply.

The recruitment process is handled by two departments separately that are General Education Department which covers almost all of the state schools and Sanskrit Education Department which takes care of Sanskrit schools in which the candidate must have studied Sanskrit in graduation level or be having Shastri/Acharya degree with REET. Both have different notifications but same REET marks.

Selection: Clear REET, which stays valid indefinitely as a qualifying exam, then apply when RSSB opens 3rd Grade Mains recruitment. The written exam ranks candidates using a combination of REET score and Mains marks, followed by document verification and merit-based posting.

RSMSSB, RVUNL and JVVNL: Technical Posts

This is after a single written test and document verification process, without the multistage selection process that happens in administrative recruitment, thus a relatively fast way to enter for those with technical qualifications.

Important Dates

How to Apply?

Step one is to get registered on the portal of Rajasthan SSO through a One Time Registration with either Aadhaar or Jan Aadhaar number. Step two is logging into the portal and selecting the recruitment notice from the list, because RPSC, RSSB, and RSMSSB recruitment notices are all accessed from the same SSO portal. Step three is filling in the required details and uploading your photograph, signature and certificates in the prescribed format. Step four is paying the application fees online through net banking or card.

Documents Required

Prior to document verification, it is required that the candidate must provide the following documents: educational mark sheets and certificates from Class 10 onwards, category certificate for SC/ST/OBC/EWS candidates, domicile certificate, valid and current CET scorecard if any, disability certificate for PwBD candidates, and valid photo identity proof like Aadhaar or voter ID. Lack of these documents or discrepancy in these documents is one of the most frequent, and easily avoidable, causes of rejection of candidates even after clearing the written test.

Admit Card and Result Process

The admit cards of RPSC and RSSB examinations are available around one to two weeks prior to the examination date through the respective portal sites, which can be accessed through the application number and date of birth. The same case is true for results also, wherein an answer key is published at first and then a period of a few days is given for objections, after which the result or merit list is published. It is best to keep your application number and mobile number with you, as they would be used for logging in the portals instead of a password reset facility.

The CET Factor

Common Eligibility Test has been made mandatory by most of the recruitment boards for both RSMSSB and subordinate recruitments. This is because you can only apply for a particular vacancy if you have a CET score that is current. It is therefore important to ensure that your CET scorecard does not expire even when you are not applying for anything at all.

Pay Commission Note

These pay revisions of 8th Pay Commission are set to be implemented till 2026, and these revisions will impact the salary of all categories of officers, i.e., RAS, Police, Teacher, and RSMSSB. All the revised amounts mentioned above are yet to be confirmed officially, but the salaries in the article are according to the 7th Pay Commission.

Reality Check

However, all of the notifications appearing on the aggregator websites may not be true. As of now, the notifications about Police Constable 4,000-post drive and the revised salaries after the 8th Pay Commission are still expected and not finalized yet. There has also been confusion regarding the dates of the RAS prelims exam, with some sources suggesting late November 2026 and some sources suggesting early December. Do verify from the official website before making your preparations on the basis of any date mentioned elsewhere.

Pro-Tip: Do not wait for the 3rd Grade Teacher Notification to start your preparation for the REET Mains Exam. The REET marks will also add up to the final merit, and hence, people who treat the REET as a formality often fail against those who prepare for both.

If you've been building your candidature through Career Mitra, you already know that timing your application to the notification calendar matters as much as the preparation itself. Missing a two-week window because you weren't checking the right source costs a full year, sometimes more.

Career Mitra Pro-Tip: Yearly, some candidates of Rajasthan who apply for admission are disqualified from the document verification stage due to avoidable causes such as category certificates not matching, invalid domicile proof and lack of CET score cards. The first recommendation that Career Mitra gives to candidates who come from the first generation is that they must prepare their documents file before the notification comes out.
