High Court Stays Ayush Officer Contract Recruitment! 1,340-Post Selection Process Halted, Questions Raised on Common Merit List of All Three Systems
The Rajasthan High Court has put an interim stay on moving ahead with the selection process of the Ayush Officer contract recruitment-2025. The single bench of Justice Anoop Kumar Dhand gave the order on a petition by Dr. Jyoti Jangid and sought replies from the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board and the state government. The objection is to a single common merit list for doctors of all three systems: Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Unani.

Arguments in the Petition
- The Board is preparing a single common general merit list of candidates of all three systems.
- This hides how many posts there are in each system and how many applied for them.
- The papers of the three systems are different and their difficulty level can differ too.
- As per the petition, since the Ayurveda exam is tougher, candidates of that system may lose out in a combined merit list.
- As per the petitioner, an expert's report opposed a combined merit list, which the Board ignored.
- Demand: make separate merit lists for the three systems and give appointments accordingly.
The Impact
- Until the Court's final decision the selection process will not move ahead.
- Appointments may be delayed, especially if separate merit lists have to be made.
- After the Board and government reply, the Court will decide the next step.
- Document verification had been completed in July 2026 and the final merit list was awaited.
What Candidates Should Do
- Track the Court's next hearing and order on the RSSB website and reliable news sources.
- Keep your documents and application receipt safe.
- Avoid rumours and middlemen. Asking for money while assuring selection can be fraud.
- If needed, consult your lawyer about your rights.
