The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) has released the official notification for CET 2026 Senior Secondary Level under Advertisement No. 08/2026. This is a Common Eligibility Test, which means candidates who pass this exam become eligible to apply for various Group C posts under different departments of the Rajasthan government. If you are a 12th pass candidate looking for a government job in Rajasthan, this exam is very important for you.

What is Rajasthan CET Senior Secondary Level?

CET stands for Common Eligibility Test. RSSB conducts this exam separately for two levels, Graduation Level and Senior Secondary Level. The Senior Secondary Level CET is meant for candidates who have passed class 12th. Once you clear this exam, you become eligible to apply for recruitment in 14 different subordinate and clerical services of the Rajasthan government, such as LDC, Forester, Hostel Superintendent, Patwari, Junior Accountant, and several other posts. The CET itself is not a final selection, it is just an eligibility screening exam. After qualifying CET, you still need to apply separately when the actual recruitment notification for a particular post comes out.

The exam consists of 150 objective type multiple choice questions carrying a total of 300 marks, and the duration of the exam is 3 hours. There is negative marking of 1 by 3 mark for every wrong answer, so attempt questions carefully. The subjects covered include General Awareness, Current Affairs, Reasoning, General English, General Hindi, Mathematics, Science, and Computer Knowledge.

CET Score Validity

Your CET score remains valid for three years from the date the result is declared. If you already appeared in the earlier CET Senior Secondary 2024 exam, please note that its validity expired on 16 February 2026, so you will need to reapply this year if you want to remain eligible.

CET 2026 form applicaton fees

The fee is collected as a One Time Registration charge through the SSO Portal. If you have already paid the OTR fee in an earlier cycle, you do not need to pay it again. Payment can be made through e-Mitra kiosks, Jan Suvidha Kendras, net banking, debit card, or credit card. Candidates from other states belonging to SC, ST, OBC, MBC, or EWS category are treated as General category for this exam and need to pay 600 rupees.

How To Apply Online

First visit the official RSMSSB website. Complete your One Time Registration using Aadhaar or Jan Aadhaar if you have not done it already. Log in using your SSO ID and password. Select CET Senior Secondary Level 2026 from the list of available exams. Fill in your personal and educational details carefully. Upload your scanned photo and signature as per the guidelines given in the notification. Pay the application fee if applicable. Review all the details once again before final submission, and take a printout of the confirmation page for your records.

A Few Important Points to Remember

Do not wait for the last date to fill your form, since the website often gets slow near the deadline due to heavy traffic. If you remain absent in two or more exams conducted by RPSC, RSSB, or any other state recruitment agency within a financial year, your OTR facility can get blocked, and reactivating it will cost you a penalty fee. Always check the official RSSB website for the latest updates regarding this exam, and avoid trusting unverified messages on WhatsApp or Telegram regarding date changes.
