RSSB Computer Instructor Recruitment 2026: 3,951 Senior and Basic Computer Instructor Posts, Exam Held, Amended Advt Out

The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB, राजस्थान कर्मचारी चयन बोर्ड) issued Advertisement No. 07/2026 on 22 May 2026 for the Senior Computer Instructor and Basic Computer Instructor Combined Direct Recruitment 2026 (वरिष्ठ कम्प्यूटर अनुदेशक एवं बेसिक कम्प्यूटर अनुदेशक संयुक्त सीधी भर्ती-2026): 3,951 posts in the Secondary Education and Sanskrit Education Departments of Rajasthan. Applications closed on 23 June 2026, and the written exam was held on 22 August 2026 (Basic Computer Instructor) and 23 August 2026 (Senior Computer Instructor). On 28 October 2026 RSSB issued an amended advertisement for the Basic Computer Instructor Scheduled Area backlog posts. The result is awaited.

Status on 30 October 2026: applications are closed, the written exam has been held and the primary answer keys are out. The result has not been declared yet.

• Applications: online from 25 May 2026 to 23 June 2026 (11:59 PM). Closed.
• Exam dates changed: the advertisement had proposed 22 August 2026 for Senior Computer Instructor and 23 August 2026 for Basic Computer Instructor. RSSB's exam-schedule notice of 20 July 2026 swapped them, and the exam was held on 22 August 2026 (Saturday) for Basic Computer Instructor and 23 August 2026 (Sunday) for Senior Computer Instructor, two papers each day (10:00 AM to 12:00 noon and 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM), in 14 districts.
• Withdrawn applications: RSSB published the list of 926 online applications withdrawn in the 22 to 24 July window (795 Basic Computer Instructor, 131 Senior Computer Instructor); these applications are cancelled and out of the whole recruitment process.
• Last chance to edit the application: 26 August to 1 September 2026 (11:59 PM), fee ₹300. No edits are allowed after this.
• Answer keys: the master question papers and primary answer keys were uploaded on rssb.rajasthan.gov.in (listed on 18 September 2026). Online objections ran from 19 September 2026 (00:01) to 21 September 2026 (11:59 PM) at ₹100 per question; offline objections, only for candidates who applied offline, ran from 22 September (10:00 AM) to 24 September 2026 (6:00 PM).
• Amended advertisement, 28 October 2026: only splits the SC/ST backlog posts of Basic Computer Instructor (Scheduled Area, Secondary Education) between general, women, widow and divorcee posts. Totals and all other conditions are unchanged.
• Became a widow after the edit window? The advertisement says such a candidate must apply to RSSB for a change of category before the result, with Aadhaar, the husband's death certificate and a document linked to the husband's name, and a ₹300 fee; only then is the change accepted.
• Result: not declared as of 30 October 2026. RSSB has not published a final answer key or a cut-off yet.

RSSB has advertised 3,951 posts: 322 Senior Computer Instructor (288 Non-Scheduled Area + 34 Scheduled Area) and 3,629 Basic Computer Instructor (2,936 Non-Scheduled Area + 693 Scheduled Area), in the Secondary Education and Sanskrit Education Departments of Rajasthan. All figures below are printed in the advertisement.

The board may increase or decrease the number of posts until the result is declared. Scheduled Area (अनुसूचित क्षेत्र) posts are only for local residents of Rajasthan's Scheduled Area; they may also apply for Non-Scheduled Area posts.

The tables give each category's posts and how they are split among general, women (general), widow and divorcee posts, with the ex-servicemen posts of the current year. Backlog rows are SC/ST posts carried over from earlier years. PwBD (a) blind / low vision, (b) deaf / hard of hearing, (c) locomotor disability and the related categories, (d) autism, specific learning disability, mental illness and multiple disabilities are shown as a / b / c / d below each table. The advertisement also prints ex-servicemen posts carried forward from earlier years; three of those cells in the Secondary Education Scheduled Area tables do not match the printed totals, so we have left that column out. Check the official advertisement for it.

Basic Computer Instructor, Non-Scheduled Area (2,736)

Senior Computer Instructor, Non-Scheduled Area (268)

Basic Computer Instructor, Scheduled Area (679)

Senior Computer Instructor, Scheduled Area (32)

All 32 posts are in Udaipur: backlog ST 5 and current 27 (UR 14, SC 1, ST 12).

On 28 October 2026 RSSB issued an amended advertisement (संशोधित विज्ञप्ति). It does one thing: the original advertisement showed the SC and ST backlog posts of Basic Computer Instructor, Scheduled Area (Secondary Education Department, Bikaner) without splitting them between men and women, so the board has re-issued that classification. The total posts stay 322 Senior and 3,629 Basic Computer Instructor, the district backlog totals are the same as in the advertisement, and the notice says the other conditions of the advertisement remain unchanged.

Source: amended advertisement of 28 October 2026 (PDF).

Any one of:

• M.E. / M.Tech. in Computer Science (CS), Information Technology (IT), Electronics & Communications Engineering (ECE), Electrical Engineering (EE), Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE), Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering (ETE) or Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering (EIE);
• M.Sc. in Computer Science (CS) / Information Technology (IT);
• Master in Computer Application (MCA) / 'B' Level / 'C' Level;
• any equivalent or higher qualification recognised by the Government.

Basic Computer Instructor (बेसिक कम्प्यूटर अनुदेशक)

Any one of:

• Graduate and 'A' Level / PGDCA (minimum one year);
• B.E. / B.Tech. in Computer Science (CS), Information Technology (IT), Electronics & Communications Engineering (ECE), Electrical Engineering (EE), Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE), Electronic Instrumentation & Control (EIC) or Telecommunications & Instrumentation (TIE);
• B.Sc. in Computer Science (CS) / Information Technology (IT);
• Bachelor in Computer Application (BCA) from a university established by law in India;
• any equivalent or higher qualification recognised by the Government.

For both posts

• Working knowledge of Hindi written in Devanagari script and knowledge of Rajasthani culture.
• Final-year candidates could apply, but must have acquired the qualification by the date of this recruitment's exam. Those who got it after the exam date are not eligible.
• Ex-servicemen: as per the Personnel Department notification of 22 December 2020, a computer qualification prescribed in the service rules was not mandatory for ex-servicemen at the time of applying, but must be held before joining; in addition to the computer-literacy qualifications in the service rules, a minimum three-month certificate from a Government of India defence institution is also accepted as a computer qualification. The advertisement does not say this replaces the educational qualification listed for these posts. Ex-servicemen with a graduation-equivalent certificate after 15 years' service enter "Not Applicable" for the roll number and select Grade "N" in the OTR document details.
• Only the qualification filled in the online form / OTR is accepted. Eligibility is checked after the result, at document verification.

Qualifications are as per the Rajasthan Educational (State and Subordinate) Service (Amendment) Rules, 2021 (new "Group D", "Computer wing") and the Rajasthan Sanskrit Education State and Subordinate Service (School Branch) (Amendment) Rules.

Age is counted on 1 January 2027: you must be at least 18 and not yet 40 on that date.

Extra 3 years, Secondary Education posts only: the previous recruitment (2022) counted age on 1 January 2023 and none has been held since, so all applicants get 3 more years in the upper age for Secondary Education Department posts. Sanskrit Education posts get no extra relaxation, as this is their first recruitment.

Relaxations 1 to 10 in the advertisement are non-cumulative: only one can be used. The advertisement also has special rules for released Emergency / Short Service Commissioned Officers, persons temporarily appointed to a post of this service (2 chances), and a recruitment year in which no recruitment was held (up to 3 years).

• Probation: 2 years for all direct recruits. During probation you get a fixed monthly remuneration at State Government rates instead of the pay scale, with no HRA, DA, city compensatory allowance, special pay or other allowances.
• After probation (on completing training, passing the post-training exam, unquestioned integrity and fitness for confirmation), you get the minimum of the pay scale and allowances as per rules.
• The advertisement does not print rupee amounts for the fixed remuneration or the pay levels.
• Pension: the State Government pension scheme for new appointees applies.

RSSB charges a one-time registration (OTR) fee (Department of Personnel circular, 19 April 2023), paid once after SSO login. Candidates who had already paid the OTR fee paid nothing again.

• SC / ST / OBC / MBC / EWS candidates of other states and union territories are treated as General and pay the General fee.
• Absence penalty: a candidate absent in any two exams of RPSC, RSSB or other Rajasthan recruiting agencies in one financial year (1 April to 31 March) has the OTR blocked. It can be unblocked by paying ₹750 the first time; if blocked again in the same year, ₹1,500 (circular of 9 May 2025).
• Editing the application after the closing date costs ₹300; an answer-key objection costs ₹100 per question.

Paper I is the same for both posts; Paper II differs. The advertisement lists the topics under each head; open the official advertisement (pages 22 to 25) for the full syllabus.

• Each question had five circles: A, B, C and D for the answer, and E for "not attempted". Answers were marked on the OMR answer sheet with a blue ball pen.
• If none of the five circles is darkened, one third of that question's marks is deducted. A candidate who leaves all five circles blank in more than 10% of the questions is disqualified. 10 extra minutes were given after the exam time to darken circle E.
• Candidates could take the question booklet and the carbon copy of the OMR sheet after the exam; the admit-card notice asks them to keep the carbon copy until the final result.
• If the exam is held in more than one phase, normalization applies (advertisement).
• Unfair means: RSSB's exam notices (20 July and 11 August 2026) warn that the Rajasthan Public Examination (Measures for Prevention of Unfair Means in Recruitment) Act 2022 and (Amendment) Act 2023 provide for a fine of ₹10 lakh up to ₹10 crore and imprisonment from 10 years up to life, that strict legal action can be taken, and that such a candidate will also be debarred from further exams. The advertisement, citing the 2022 Act, gives up to 3 years' rigorous imprisonment and a minimum ₹1 lakh fine for an examinee involved in unfair means.

RSSB uploaded the master question papers and primary answer keys on its website; the answer keys are listed on rssb.rajasthan.gov.in/answerkeys under "Basic and Senior Computer Instructor" (18 September 2026).

• Online objections: 19 September 2026 (00:01) to 21 September 2026 (11:59 PM), through SSO, ₹100 per question (e-Mitra payment gateway or e-Mitra kiosk; e-Mitra service charge extra). Extra fee is not refunded. This window is over.
• Offline objections were only for candidates who had applied offline and appeared: 22 September 2026 (10:00 AM) to 24 September 2026 (6:00 PM) at the board's reception, with a postal order of ₹100 per question.
• Objections had to use the question numbers and option order of the uploaded master question paper, and were taken only once.
• A final answer key has not been published yet.

• Scheduled Area: UR 50%, SC 5%, ST 45%. Only local residents of Rajasthan's Scheduled Area can apply for these posts; if selected in both areas, they state their preference at document verification.
• Women: 30% horizontal, category-wise; within it, 8% for widows and 2% for divorcees. Unfilled widow / divorcee posts go to the other, then to general women, then to men of the same category; they are not carried forward.
• Ex-servicemen: 12.5% category-wise, only for Rajasthan-domicile ex-servicemen; their dependants get no ex-servicemen reservation. Serving personnel retiring within one year could apply with a NOC.
• Persons with disabilities: 4% horizontal, 1% each for (a) blind / low vision, (b) deaf / hard of hearing, (c) locomotor disability and related categories, (d) autism, specific learning disability, mental illness and multiple disabilities; 40% or more disability. The UDID card is mandatory proof at document verification, and the disability certificate must be dated before the last date of application.
• Outstanding sportspersons: 2% of total vacancies, horizontal, for Rajasthan domicile; not carried forward.
• SC / ST / OBC / MBC / EWS candidates can be selected against general posts only if they took no reserved-category concession other than the fee concession (Personnel Department circular, 26 July 2017).
• SC / ST / OBC / MBC / EWS candidates of other states are treated as General. A woman who became a Rajasthan domicile by marriage gets no SC / ST / OBC / MBC reservation (she can claim EWS on producing a Rajasthan domicile certificate and an EWS certificate). Sahariya candidates of Baran get their reservation only if they marked it in the category column.

Admission to the exam was provisional: an admit card does not mean RSSB has accepted the candidature or the entries in the application. After the result, the concerned departments check eligibility and verify documents (circular of 22 August 2024). Keep these ready:

• Originals of educational and professional qualification, age, marital status, divorcee, ex-serviceman, sportsperson and disability documents.
• Category certificate issued on or before the last date of application (23 June 2026). Under the Personnel Department circular of 17 October 2022 quoted in the advertisement, a later certificate is accepted with an affidavit that you held that category on the last date (your appointment can be cancelled if this is false); the advertisement's document list (item xxi) also says certificates must be issued by the last date or the category benefit is not given. OBC / MBC certificate must be the latest one in the father's name, residence and income (not the husband's). The EWS income and asset certificate is valid for 1 year and can be relied on for up to 3 years with an affidavit.
• SC / ST / Sahariya married women: a caste certificate in the father's name and residence (one in the husband's name is not accepted).
• Ex-servicemen: retirement certificate or NOC issued by the competent authority by the last date of application. Outstanding sportspersons: sports certificate dated up to the last date of application.
• Widows: the husband's death certificate and a document linked to the husband's name (for example marriage certificate, Aadhaar, ration card, a child's birth certificate or voter ID). Divorcees: the court decree or order of divorce dated up to the last date of application. Persons with disabilities: UDID card.
• Married women: a declaration about their children (mandatory). Divorcees: an affidavit that they had not remarried, or were in the divorcee category, up to the last date of application.
• Character: a character certificate from the last educational institution (at least "good") and recent character certificates from two gazetted officers.
• Government or PSU employees: a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the employer.
• After selection: police verification of character and a medical fitness certificate from the CMHO or Medical Jurist of your district of residence. Marriage registration is mandatory for a government appointment.
