Rajasthan Common Eligibility Test (CET)

The Rajasthan Common Eligibility Test (CET) is conducted by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) as a qualifying examination for recruitment to various state government posts at Graduate and Senior Secondary levels. Introduced to streamline the recruitment process, CET acts as a single gateway exam for multiple departments across Rajasthan. Candidates who qualify CET become eligible to apply for specific departmental recruitments without appearing for separate preliminary exams repeatedly.

The RPSC CET exam pattern consists of objective-type questions testing General Knowledge (with emphasis on Rajasthan), General Science, and Current Affairs. The exam is conducted in offline mode (OMR-based) and typically has 150 questions worth 150 marks with negative marking of 1/3 mark for each incorrect answer. The exam duration is 3 hours. There are two levels of CET: Graduate Level (for Bachelor's degree holders) and 12th Level (for Senior Secondary passed candidates).

To apply for RPSC CET through SSO portal, candidates must first complete One-Time Registration (OTR) on the SSO recruitment portal. The OTR fee is ₹600 for General/OBC(Creamy)/Other State candidates and ₹400 for Rajasthan SC/ST/OBC(NCL)/EWS/PwD candidates. This fee is payable only once and allows you to apply for multiple RPSC exams throughout 2026-2027 without paying again. Your personal details like name, date of birth, and gender are auto-fetched from Aadhaar or Jan Aadhaar, so ensure these match your Class 10th certificate exactly.
