The Rajasthan Subordinate and Ministerial Services Selection Board (RSSB) has officially cancelled the upcoming Police Transient Inspector (PTI) recruitment examination scheduled for 2026. The confirmation came directly from RSSB Chairman Alok Raj, who addressed the matter publicly, putting an end to months of speculation and anxiety among thousands of aspirants who had been preparing intensively for the competitive exam.
The PTI recruitment drive had drawn widespread interest across Rajasthan, with thousands of candidates from across the state registering for the examination. The position of Police Transient Inspector is a significant entry-level law enforcement role within the Rajasthan Police force, offering young graduates a direct pathway into the state's policing structure. Aspirants had spent months studying for the written examination, physical efficiency tests, and subsequent stages of the selection process.
RSSB Chairman Alok Raj did not elaborate extensively on the specific reasons behind the cancellation but acknowledged the decision as final. Candidates who had paid application fees and invested considerable time in preparation will now need to await further instructions from the board regarding any possible refund or rescheduling of the examination. The Rajasthan government has not yet issued a detailed statement explaining why the recruitment process was halted at this stage.
This development comes as a major setback for prospective police personnel candidates in Rajasthan. The state has been actively looking to strengthen its police force through regular recruitment cycles, and the PTI position has historically been one of the most sought-after government jobs for eligible youth. Political observers note that recruitment cancellations in Rajasthan have occurred previously due to legal challenges and court orders, though no such information has been confirmed in this case.
Affected candidates are advised to regularly monitor the official RSSB website for any future notifications regarding the status of the PTI recruitment process.
