Rajasthan CET Senior Secondary Level 2026 Notification: Eligibility, Posts & How to Apply
The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) has released the notification (Advt No. 08/2026) for the Common Eligibility Test (CET) — Senior Secondary (10+2) Level 2026. This single test is the first gateway for a large number of Rajasthan government jobs, so clearing it once opens the door to many departments at the same time. If you have passed 12th (Senior Secondary), this is one of the most important exams of the year for you. The best part — your CET score stays valid for one year, and you can use it for every eligible 10+2-level post during that period.
Online applications are open from 24 June 2026 to 23 July 2026 through the SSO Rajasthan portal, and the exam is scheduled for 23 to 25 October 2026. This is a golden chance for Rajasthan government job seekers to apply once and become eligible for posts like Forester, Constable, Clerk Grade-II and Junior Assistant together. In this guide, your friends at GovtJobsAlert.in explain the posts covered, eligibility, fee, exam pattern and the step-by-step application process in very simple words.

Eligibility Criteria — RSSB CET Senior Secondary 2026
Please check the education and age rules carefully before applying.
Educational Qualification
- You must have passed 12th (Senior Secondary) from a recognised board, or be appearing in the final year of Senior Secondary.
- Candidates in the final year can apply, but they must acquire the qualification as per the rules of the concerned service before final selection.
Age Limit
Because the CET is a common test for many services, the exact age limit depends on the rules of the specific post you finally apply for. In general, candidates should be between 18 and 40 years, with age relaxation for SC, ST, OBC and EWS, women and PwD candidates as per Rajasthan Government rules. Always confirm the exact age limit for your target service in its detailed recruitment notice.
What Salary Can You Expect After RSSB CET 2026?
The CET itself is only a qualifying test — it does not decide your salary. Your pay depends on the specific post you are finally selected for after the main recruitment of that department.
- Most 10+2-level posts (Junior Assistant, Clerk Grade-II) fall around Pay Level 5 of the Rajasthan pay matrix.
- Uniformed posts like Constable and Forester carry their own pay levels plus allowances.
In simple words, once you clear CET and then qualify the post-specific recruitment, you can expect a stable Rajasthan government salary along with DA, HRA and other allowances as per state rules.
Since the exact pay differs by department, check the salary details in each post’s separate recruitment notification.
What is the Exam Pattern & Selection Process for RSSB CET 10+2 Level 2026?
The CET is an OMR-based objective test, and your CET score is the basis of selection for the covered posts. Understanding the pattern will help you prepare smartly. You can also review the exam syllabus and preparation tips to plan your studies.
Question Paper & Marking
- The paper is objective type with five options for each question.
- There is negative marking of one-third (1/3) of the marks for every wrong answer, so attempt carefully.
- Important rule: You must darken one of the five circles for each question. If you leave more than 10% of the questions completely blank, you will be disqualified.
Syllabus Overview
The syllabus broadly covers General Knowledge, Geography, History and Culture of Rajasthan, basic Mathematics (Average, Percentage, Profit & Loss, Ratio, Interest), General Science, current affairs, and basic computer knowledge.
