RPSC published its annual exam calendar, including the tentative timeline for the RAS/RTS 2026 cycle ahead of the detailed notification.
Exam Calendar⚠️ Important Correction Notice — Previous Record Discrepancies
This listing previously stated 3,725 vacancies with a detailed post-wise breakdown, a notification expected around February 2026, and a Preliminary Exam already conducted in May 2026. Extensive verification across multiple independent and recent sources — including ones citing the official RPSC notice directly — found no evidence supporting any of these specific figures or events for the actual RAS/RTS 2026 cycle. What is consistently confirmed instead: 607 total posts (State + Subordinate Services combined), application window 4 June – 3 July 2026, and a Preliminary Exam scheduled for 29 November 2026 (not yet conducted).
It's possible the earlier figures referred to a different, provisional, or projected version of this cycle, or were carried over from an earlier year's data by mistake. We strongly recommend cross-verifying the post-wise vacancy breakdown directly against the official notification PDF on rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in before republishing detailed post-wise numbers.
