Big News for Rajasthan Job Seekers!
If you've passed Class 12th and are dreaming of a Rajasthan government job, your wait is finally over.
The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB/RSMSSB), Jaipur, has officially released the CET Senior Secondary Level 2026 Notification under Advertisement No. 08/2026. Applications opened on 24 June 2026, and the last date to apply is 23 July 2026.
This is one of the biggest recruitment-gateway exams in Rajasthan — don't let this opportunity slip by!
What Is RSSB CET?
CET (Common Eligibility Test) is a state-level qualifying examination conducted by RSSB. It serves as the eligibility gateway — meaning you must clear this test before you can be considered for actual departmental recruitment in Rajasthan government jobs.
The CET is conducted at two levels:
- 12th Level (Senior Secondary) — for posts requiring Class 12 qualification
- Graduation Level — for posts requiring a degree
This notification is for the 12th Level CET, which covers 14 subordinate and clerical services across various Rajasthan government departments.
Once you qualify, your CET score is valid for 3 years from the date of result declaration (as per Personnel Department notification dated 16 January 2025). This gives you multiple chances to apply for departmental recruitment exams using the same score.

Important Note for Previous CET Candidates
If you appeared in the previous CET Senior Secondary Level 2024, take note: that exam's score validity expired on 16 February 2026 (one year from the result date). You must re-apply in this new CET to remain eligible for upcoming departmental recruitments.
Going forward, under the new rules, the CET score validity has been extended to 3 years, giving candidates a longer window to use their scores.
Why This CET Matters
For lakhs of 12th-pass aspirants in Rajasthan, the CET is the single most important gateway to government employment. Clearing this exam does not get you a job directly — but it qualifies you to appear in the departmental recruitment exams conducted by various Rajasthan government departments.
In other words, no CET score = no government job interview. That's why this notification is critical.
