RSSB CET Graduate Level 2026: Online Form Out — Apply from 4 July
The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB), Jaipur, has released the official notification for the Common Eligibility Test (CET) Graduate Level 2026. If you’re a graduate looking to get into Rajasthan state government service, this is the exam you can’t afford to skip — it’s the common gateway for a whole range of graduate-level posts across the state. Online applications open on 4 July 2026.
Here’s a complete breakdown of what you need to know.
What Exactly Is the RSSB CET Graduate Level?
For those unfamiliar with how Rajasthan recruitment works now, the CET isn’t a recruitment for one specific post — it’s a common qualifying exam. Clearing it makes you eligible to apply for a bunch of graduate-level posts across different departments, which otherwise used to have separate individual exams. This particular notification is for the Graduate Level CET 2026, advertised under Advt. No. 09/2026.
Important Dates
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Online Application Starts | 4 July 2026 |
| Registration Last Date | 2 August 2026 |
| Fee Payment Last Date | 2 August 2026 |
| Correction Window Last Date | 8 August 2026 |
| Admit Card Release | November 2026 |
| Exam Date | 1 to 3 December 2026 |
You get about a month to apply, followed by a short correction window in case you make an error in your form. The exam itself is spread across three days in December, so it’s likely being conducted in multiple shifts to accommodate the large number of applicants this exam usually attracts.
Application Fee
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General / OBC / Other State | ₹600 |
| OBC (NCL) / MBC of Rajasthan | ₹400 |
| PH (Persons with Disability) — all categories | ₹400 |
| SC / ST (income below ₹2.5 lakh/year) | ₹400 |
Payment has to be made online — debit card, credit card, or net banking. Keep in mind the fee payment deadline is the same as the application deadline, so don’t wait till the last moment for either.
Eligibility
Educational Qualification: A Bachelor’s Degree in any stream from a recognized university in India. Since this is a common eligibility test feeding into multiple departments, the qualification requirement is kept broad and open to all graduates, not restricted to a specific discipline.
Age Limit (as on 1 January 2027):
- Minimum age: 18 years
- Maximum age: 40 years
That’s a fairly wide age bracket, and category-based age relaxations apply on top of this — worth checking the official notification for the exact relaxation applicable to your category.
What Posts Can You Apply For After Clearing This CET?
Once you clear the Graduate Level CET, you become eligible to apply for recruitment to several departments and posts. Some of the key ones listed in this notification include:

Total vacancy numbers for these individual posts haven’t been specified yet in this notification — those will typically be announced separately by each recruiting department once their own recruitment cycle opens, with CET scores used as the qualifying criteria.
Pay Scale and Selection
Pay scale and the exact mode of selection will be as per the rules applicable to each specific post/department once individual recruitments are announced. The CET itself is the first step — a qualifying exam that determines your eligibility, with actual selection for individual posts following through the respective department’s process (which may include further stages like physical tests or interviews depending on the post).
How to Apply
- Visit the official SSO portal — sso.rajasthan.gov.in

Why This Exam Matters
- It’s the single entry point for numerous graduate-level government jobs in Rajasthan — clear it once, and you can apply across multiple departments
- Covers a wide variety of roles, from administrative posts like Patwari and Junior Accountant to specialized ones like Deputy Jailor and Platoon Commander
- Open to all graduates regardless of stream, which widens the pool of eligible candidates significantly
- A fairly generous age bracket (18–40 years) means it’s accessible to both fresh graduates and slightly older aspirants
With the form opening on 4 July and the exam scheduled for December, you’ve got a reasonable runway to prepare. Since this CET score will likely be used across several recruitment drives over the coming months, it’s worth putting in solid preparation rather than treating it as just another form to fill. Keep an eye on the official notification and syllabus PDF for exam pattern details, and make sure your SSO registration and documents are in order well before the deadline.
For the most accurate and updated details, always cross-check with the official notification on sso.rajasthan.gov.in once available.
