The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has officially announced the cancellation of its earlier Sub Inspector recruitment drive, sending a new notification for the 2026 cycle. The decision marks a significant administrative shift for thousands of aspirants who had prepared diligently for the examination under the previous schedule.
According to the revised notification, the online application window for the Sub Inspector posts will reopen from May 16, giving candidates another opportunity to apply under the restructured recruitment framework. The commission has directed all eligible candidates to visit the official RPSC website and download the refreshed notification PDF for detailed guidelines regarding eligibility criteria, age relaxation, and examination pattern.
RPSC officials stated that the earlier recruitment drive was cancelled due to procedural irregularities discovered during internal review, prompting the commission to issue a fresh notification rather than continue with the flawed process. No candidates have been appointed yet under the old recruitment cycle, meaning the cancellation does not affect any existing appointments but clears the way for a completely new selection process.
Candidates are advised to verify their eligibility before applying, particularly ensuring their educational qualifications and age fall within the prescribed limits. The commission has emphasized that candidates who applied in the earlier cycle must submit fresh applications and cannot carry over their previous submissions.
The Sub Inspector position is one of the most sought-after police services in Rajasthan, offering both prestige and competitive government employment benefits. With a large number of aspirants expected to apply once the window opens, RPSC has likely increased infrastructure capacity to handle the surge in online registrations.
