Rajasthan CET Senior Secondary Level 2026: Exam Date & Pattern

Rajasthan CET Senior Secondary Level 2026 is the Senior Secondary (Class 12 / equivalent) eligibility test conducted by Rajasthan Staff Selection Board. Advertisement 08/2026 was released on 23 June 2026. The application period is over, so this page now focuses on the confirmed examination schedule, notified paper rules, eligibility record and official source.

CET qualification does not itself create an appointment or guarantee selection. A candidate must later meet the conditions and selection process of the separate service-specific recruitment.

Important dates and current update

RSSB may revise the examination schedule through a later official notice. Candidates should check the RSSB website before the examination. Admit card, answer key and result dates will be added only after an official notice is issued.

Official CET exam pattern

• Negative marking: One-third of the marks allotted to a question is deducted for a wrong answer.
• Minimum qualifying rule: Minimum 40%; the advertisement provides relaxation of up to five percentage points for SC/ST candidates.
• OMR fifth-option rule: Each question has five options. Option E must be darkened when a question is left unattempted; leaving more than 10% of questions without darkening any option can lead to disqualification.
• Score validity: Three years from the date of declaration of the CET result.

The minimum percentage is an eligibility condition, not a predicted cut-off and not a job guarantee. The later main recruitment can have its own vacancy count, service rules, shortlisting method, written examination, interview, document verification or other conditions.

Eligibility and OTR fee record

Qualification: Senior Secondary (Class 12) or an equivalent qualification, subject to the applicable service rules and the full official advertisement. The general age range is 18 years to 40 years as on 1 January 2027. Category-wise relaxation is governed by the official advertisement and applicable Rajasthan rules.

The table records the One Time Registration fee structure, not a fresh payment instruction. Applicants who already completed OTR must follow the current portal record and official rules. The 2026 application window shown above is closed; this article does not claim that a late form can be submitted.
