What Went Wrong in the 2022 Recruitment
- The recruitment was for 5,546 posts (4,899 non-scheduled and 647 scheduled).
- On studying all candidates' data, 1,259 candidates' application details and documents did not match.
- The required educational qualification had to be obtained before the exam date of 25 September 2022, yet 173 of those appointed submitted degrees dated after the cut-off.
- Many private universities gave admission to B.P.Ed against the rules, and those degrees were treated as valid during verification.
- B.P.Ed admission needs 45% in graduation (5% relaxation for reserved categories), but 183 selected candidates did not meet the B.P.Ed eligibility.
- The SOG questioned the selection of 1,754 candidates. After the department's probe 134 PTIs have been dismissed, while the probe into the rest remains incomplete despite meetings.
What Happens Next
- Document verification will be a big challenge for the education department in the new recruitment, since most cases in the last one involved degrees.
- The department also has to finish the probe of the old recruitment.
- Treat the notification, posts and eligibility as firm only after they appear on the Board's website.
What Aspirants Should Do
- Check the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board website regularly for the notification.
- Keep your educational documents (Class 12 and CPEd/DPEd/BPEd degree-diploma) genuine and correctly dated.
- Read the exact eligibility conditions yourself once the notification is out, as they can differ from the last recruitment.
- Apply only through the SSO portal or your nearest e-Mitra centre and avoid middlemen.
