The Rajasthan Subordinate and Ministerial Services Selection Board (RSSB) has officially released the recruitment notification for the post of Assistant Professor, marking one of the largest academic hiring drives in the state's history. A total of 3,540 vacant positions are available across various government and government-aided colleges throughout Rajasthan, offering a significant opportunity for qualified educators and postgraduate scholars.
According to the notification, candidates can now submit their applications online through the official RSSB portal at rssb.rajasthan.gov.in. The board has emphasized that applicants must carefully review the detailed advertisement before filling out the application form, as incomplete or incorrect submissions may lead to disqualification.
The recruitment is aimed at filling Assistant Professor vacancies that have accumulated over several years due to retirement cycles, delayed recruitment processes, and expanded enrollment in higher education institutions across Rajasthan. Education officials stated that this massive recruitment drive will help bridge the severe faculty shortage that has plagued many government colleges, where classes were often conducted by temporary or contractual teaching staff.
Eligibility criteria require candidates to hold a Master's degree with a minimum of 55 percent marks or an equivalent grade from a recognized university, along with a valid score in the National Eligibility Test (NET), State Eligibility Test (SET), or GATE, as applicable. The upper age limit and category-wise relaxation rules have also been outlined in the notification, though candidates are advised to refer to the official document for precise details.
The application process involves an online registration followed by payment of the prescribed fee, which varies depending on the candidate's category. The board has announced that shortlisted candidates will be called for a personal interview or demonstration class, depending on the final selection procedure determined by RSSB. Results will be published on the official website after the completion of the selection process.
Education analysts have welcomed the recruitment drive, noting that it could significantly improve the quality of education in Rajasthan's government colleges. The hiring of qualified Assistant Professors is expected to reduce reliance on ad-hoc arrangements and bring much-needed stability to academic departments across the state.
