How to applyPending verification
- 1Make sure your Aadhaar or SSO profile carries your correct name, father's name and date of birth — after One Time Registration these fields are taken from that profile and the Commission cannot amend them.
- 2Sign in at the Rajasthan SSO portal and open the Recruitment Portal under Citizen Apps (G2C); candidates who are not already registered must first register themselves on SSO.
- 3Complete One Time Registration (OTR) on the Recruitment Portal using your Aadhaar number or SSO ID profile, and pay the one-time registration fee. OTR is compulsory — no application can be submitted until it is done, and it yields a unique OTR number.
- 4Once the OTR is verified, select the advertisement you are applying for and fill in the online application, entering the full details required.
- 5Upload a live photograph captured during the application. Check the photo in preview before submitting — a blurred live photo can raise a presumption of impersonation against the candidate.
- 6Open the Application Preview page, read the whole filled-in form carefully, satisfy yourself that every entry is correct, and only then submit.
- 7Confirm that an Application Number has been generated. The Instructions for Applicants state that if no application number is shown, the application has not been submitted.
- 8Track the advertisement afterwards on the Commission's Exam Dashboard for the press note, syllabus, exam date, admit card and result.

When is the 2026 examination?
Advertisement No. 02/2026-27 was published on 27 May 2026 for 607 posts, with applications closing on 3 July 2026 and application editing open until 13 July 2026. RPSC's press note of 2 July 2026 fixes the Preliminary Examination for Sunday 6 December 2026 — moved from the earlier proposed date of 29 November 2026 — and the Main Examination for Saturday 1 May and Sunday 2 May 2027. The Commission says a detailed programme will follow.
How do I apply?
Only through the Rajasthan Recruitment Portal reached from SSO Rajasthan. One Time Registration using your Aadhaar or SSO profile, with a one-time registration fee, is compulsory before any application can be made, and the name, father's name and date of birth captured at OTR cannot be corrected by the Commission later — so check your Aadhaar or SSO profile first.
What is the age limit and the qualification?
Those are fixed by Advertisement No. 02/2026-27 and by each service's own rules, and they differ from service to service within this combined examination. The advertisement is published in Hindi only, and its PDF could not be read as text, so no age or qualification figure is stated here. Read the advertisement itself at rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in before applying.
