RPSC Unveils Exam Schedule for 12,000+ Vacancies Across Five Departments

The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has announced a proposed examination schedule for filling over 12,000 vacant positions spread across five different state government departments. The announcement marks the latest step in Rajasthan's ongoing effort to recruit qualified candidates for a wide range of group C and group D level posts within the state administration.

While the commission has not yet disclosed the full list of individual department names or the exact breakdown of vacancies per department, officials confirmed that the recruitment drive covers multiple administrative and support roles. Candidates who had been waiting for notification regarding these long-pending positions are likely to see movement soon as the commission moves toward conducting the examinations.

RPSC typically publishes a tentative schedule first, allowing aspirants time to register and prepare. The commission is expected to release detailed notifications shortly, including eligibility criteria, age limits, application deadlines, and the precise exam dates. Interested candidates are advised to regularly check the official RPSC website at rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in for updates.

Recruitment through RPSC has historically attracted lakhs of applicants each year for positions spanning clerical staff, junior engineers, assistant professors, health workers, and other support roles. The commission conducts these exams in multiple phases — usually beginning with a preliminary test followed by a main examination and sometimes a skill test or document verification round, depending on the post.

The Rajasthan government has emphasized filling these vacancies as part of its broader administrative modernization drive. Filling over 12,000 posts would significantly strengthen the staffing levels across several key departments and reduce the burden on existing employees who have been managing increased workloads due to chronic understaffing.

Civil society groups and recruitment advocates have welcomed the proposal but urged the commission to ensure transparency and timeliness in the entire selection process, noting that delays in previous recruitment cycles have been a recurring concern.
