For lakhs of graduates across Rajasthan, securing a government job is more than just earning a salary—it's about building a stable future, gaining social respect, and ensuring long-term financial security. If you have completed your graduation and aspire to work in the Rajasthan Government, the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) has officially released the notification for the Common Eligibility Test (CET) Graduate Level 2026 through Advertisement No. 09/2026. This examination serves as the gateway to several prestigious graduate-level recruitments conducted by different state government departments.
Unlike a direct recruitment examination for a single post, the CET Graduate Level acts as a qualifying examination. A good score in this exam opens doors to numerous government vacancies such as Patwari, Village Development Officer (VDO), Junior Accountant, Platoon Commander, Supervisor, Hostel Superintendent Grade-II, Jail Sub Inspector, Tehsil Revenue Accountant, and several other respected positions whenever their respective recruitment notifications are released. Your CET score remains valid for three years, making it a valuable investment in your government career journey.
Whether your dream is to work in revenue administration, rural development, finance, women and child welfare, or law enforcement, clearing the CET Graduate Level significantly improves your chances of entering the Rajasthan Government service.
Candidates must possess a recognized Bachelor's Degree before applying for the respective recruitment that uses CET scores.
Category | Fee |

PwBD Candidates | ₹400 |
The RSSB CET Graduate Level is unique because it is the eligibility examination for multiple government departments rather than a single job profile. Every department offers a different work environment, career progression, and level of responsibility.
A Patwari is responsible for maintaining land records, mutation entries, crop inspections, and assisting citizens with revenue-related documentation. Since land ownership is one of the most important legal assets in rural India, Patwaris play a critical role in maintaining transparency and preventing disputes.
A Village Development Officer (Gram Vikas Adhikari) works at the grassroots level to implement government welfare schemes, monitor village development projects, coordinate with Panchayats, and improve rural infrastructure. If you enjoy interacting with people and contributing to community development, this is one of the most satisfying government careers.
A Junior Accountant manages government financial records, prepares budgets, processes bills, performs audits, and ensures that public funds are utilized according to financial regulations. Candidates with commerce, finance, or mathematics backgrounds often find this profile highly suitable.
The Platoon Commander serves in the Home Guards organization and is responsible for supervising personnel, maintaining discipline, assisting during emergencies, disaster management operations, and supporting law-and-order duties whenever required.
A Supervisor in departments such as Women Empowerment or Child Development oversees the implementation of various welfare schemes, monitors field activities, coordinates with Anganwadi centres, and ensures that government benefits reach eligible beneficiaries efficiently.
Similarly, posts like Hostel Superintendent Grade-II, Jail Sub Inspector, and Tehsil Revenue Accountant involve administrative responsibilities, record management, public interaction, supervision, and departmental coordination. These are respected government positions offering excellent promotion opportunities over time.
This examination is an excellent opportunity if you:
Want a stable government career with long-term job security
Prefer structured working hours and steady career growth
Aspire to serve society through public administration
Enjoy working with official records, documentation, and public interaction
Are comfortable preparing for competitive examinations over several months
Want access to multiple recruitments through a single qualifying examination
This career may not be the best choice if you:
Prefer fast promotions based solely on performance
Want frequent job changes or private-sector salary growth
Dislike administrative paperwork
Are uncomfortable dealing with public grievances or government procedures
Prefer highly technical or research-oriented careers
Candidates who possess patience, honesty, discipline, and strong communication skills generally perform well in government administrative roles.
Minimum Age : 18 Years.
Maximum Age : 40 Years.

It is important to understand that qualifying the CET does not automatically guarantee a government job. The CET serves as an eligibility examination. Candidates who secure the prescribed qualifying score become eligible to apply for subsequent recruitments conducted by different departments.
Generally, the recruitment process follows this pattern:
Candidates first appear for the RSSB CET Graduate Level Examination.
Departments release separate recruitment notifications for vacancies.
Eligible CET-qualified candidates appear in the recruitment examination conducted for that particular post.
Original certificates and eligibility documents are verified.
Certain posts involving field duties or uniformed services may require medical fitness.
Selection is made based on performance in the recruitment process prescribed for the respective department.
Ans: Eligibility depends on the conditions mentioned in the respective recruitment notification. Candidates should ensure that they possess the required educational qualification before the prescribed cutoff date.
Q2. Does qualifying the CET guarantee a government job?
Ans: No. The CET is only an eligibility examination. Candidates must qualify subsequent recruitment examinations conducted by individual departments before final selection.
Q3. How long will the CET score remain valid?
Ans: The RSSB CET Graduate Level 2026 score remains valid for three years from the date of declaration of the result.

Ans: No. The notification states that there is no restriction on the number of attempts. Candidates may appear again to improve their score while the earlier score remains valid according to the prescribed rules.
