What is the Salary for RSSB CET Graduate Level 2026?
Since the CET (Graduate Level) is only an eligibility test, this notification does not fix any single salary. Your pay will depend on the specific post and service you are finally recruited for, and it is decided by that department’s own service rules.
- All 12 posts are Rajasthan state government jobs with regular pay as per the applicable state pay rules.
- The exact pay level and basic pay are mentioned in each service’s main-exam notification.
- Qualifying in CET keeps you eligible to apply for all these posts for three years.
Because pay differs from post to post, always confirm the exact salary from the main-exam notification of the service you apply for. Qualifying the CET first is the key that unlocks all of them.
Apart from the basic pay, Rajasthan government employees usually enjoy benefits like Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), medical facilities and pension as per state rules.
What is the Selection Process for RSSB CET Graduate Level 2026?
The CET is an offline, OMR-based objective exam — the first stage of selection. Understanding the pattern helps you plan your preparation well. After qualifying, you must still appear in the main recruitment exam or interview of each service.

- Total Marks: 300 (each question carries 2 marks)
- Duration: 3 hours
- Negative Marking: One-third (1/3) mark deducted for each wrong answer

The single paper covers History, Geography, Polity, Economy and Culture of India and Rajasthan, Science & Technology, Reasoning, Mathematics, Current Affairs, Computer Knowledge, General Hindi and General English. You need at least 40% marks to qualify (35% for SC/ST). For detailed topic-wise preparation, check the latest exam syllabus and pattern on GovtJobsAlert.in.
