RSSB Exam Dates 2026: the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board has revised its exam schedule, and the Common Eligibility Test (CET) for the senior secondary level will now be held from 1 to 3 December 2026. The graduate-level CET follows from 16 to 18 January 2027. The board moved the dates because the urban body and panchayat elections of the Rajasthan State Election Commission in October 2026 clashed with the earlier schedule, which came with Advertisement Nos. 08/2026 (23 June 2026) and 09/2026 (1 July 2026).
Revised Exam Schedule
| Exam | Type | Dates (tentative) | Shifts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teaching Associate (contract) 2026, 32 subjects | Non-CET | 17 November 2026 and 7–21 December 2026 | One shift on 17 November and 14, 17, 18, 21 December; two shifts on 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16 December |
| CET (Senior Secondary) 2026 | CET | 1 to 3 December 2026 | Two shifts a day |
| CET (Graduation) 2026 | CET | 16 to 18 January 2027 | Two shifts on 16 and 17 January, one (morning) on 18 January |
| Laboratory Assistant direct recruitment 2025 | Non-CET | 25 January 2027 | One shift |
| Junior Engineer combined direct recruitment 2026 | Non-CET | 3 to 5 February 2027 | One shift a day |
The teaching associate exams may be held as a computer-based test, a tablet-based test with OMR sheets or a pen-and-paper OMR test.
What the CET Means for You
- The CET is a qualifying eligibility test; its score is used to shortlist candidates for later RSSB recruitments of the same level.
- The senior secondary CET is for posts that need 12th pass; the graduation CET is for posts that need a degree.
- The board has already published district lists for the senior secondary CET and the teaching associate exams on its website.
How to Prepare
- Plan your revision now: about six weeks remain for the senior secondary CET and three months for the graduate CET.
- Practise previous RSSB papers and timed mock tests on Rajasthan GK, Hindi, reasoning and mathematics.
- Keep checking the board's website for the admit card, the exam city slip and any further change in dates.
Important Notes
- All the dates are tentative and can change; the press note itself calls them proposed dates.
- Admit cards are issued only on the board's website, not by post.
- Candidates are advised to plan other exams around these dates to avoid clashes.
