RSSB Junior Engineer Eligibility Criteria 2026

Educational Qualification

Your qualification depends on which JEN post you’re targeting:

• JEN (Civil) – Degree: A Civil Engineering degree from a recognised university or an equivalent qualification approved by the Rajasthan government.
• JEN (Civil) – Diploma: A Civil Engineering diploma from a recognised institution, or a diploma recognised by the Institution of Engineers for exemption from the associate membership exam.
• JEN (Mechanical/Electrical) – Diploma: A Mechanical or Electrical Engineering diploma from a recognised institution, or an equivalent Institution of Engineers-recognised diploma.

You’ll also need working knowledge of Hindi in Devanagari script, along with familiarity with Rajasthani culture — this is a standard requirement across most Rajasthan government posts. If you’re in your final year, you can still apply, but you must complete your qualification by the exam date to remain eligible.

Age Limit (as on 1 January 2027)

✅ If you fall into more than one relaxation category, check the official notification carefully — some relaxations are not cumulative.

Application Fee

The fee is payable online through the SSO Portal at the time of application submission.

RSSB JEN Salary 2026

Here’s the part everyone’s really here for. Selected candidates will be placed at Pay Matrix Level-10 under the 7th Pay Commission — a solid starting point for a technical state government role.

There’s one thing to note carefully: during the two-year probation period, you won’t get the regular pay scale straightaway. Instead, you’ll receive a fixed monthly remuneration set by the state government, and allowances like House Rent Allowance (HRA), Dearness Allowance (DA), City Compensatory Allowance, and Special Pay won’t apply until probation ends. Once you’re confirmed, your salary moves to the full Pay Level-10 structure with all applicable allowances.

RSSB Junior Engineer Selection Process 2026

Selection is based purely on a written examination — there’s no interview stage for this recruitment.

1. Written Examination — Conducted as a Computer-Based Test (CBT), Tablet-Based Test (TBT), or OMR-based offline test. RSSB will decide the mode and announce it separately.
2. Document Verification — Shortlisted candidates will need to produce original certificates matching their online application details.
3. Final Merit List — Prepared based on exam performance, category-wise reservation, and department priority.

If the exam runs across multiple sessions or shifts, RSSB will normalise scores to keep the process fair across all candidates.

Exam Pattern

• Question Type: Objective / Multiple Choice
• Minimum Qualifying Marks: 40%
• Negative Marking: 1/3rd (0.33) mark deducted for every wrong answer
• ⚠️ On the OMR sheet, there are 5 options (A–E). If you’re leaving a question unattempted, you must mark Option E. Leaving more than 10% of questions completely blank (no option marked at all) can get you disqualified — so don’t skip filling in Option E for questions you choose not to attempt.

How to Apply for RSSB JEN Recruitment 2026

1. Go to the SSO Portal at sso.rajasthan.gov.in and log in with your SSO ID.
2. Under Citizen Apps (G2C), select “Recruitment Portal” and click “Apply Now.”
3. If you haven’t completed One Time Registration (OTR), register first — enter your category, disability status, and home state, then pay the OTR fee.
4. Once OTR is done, open the online application form using your SSO ID.
5. Upload a recent photograph (not older than one month) and mention any visible identification mark, if applicable.
6. In the OTR dashboard’s Document Verification (ODV) section, select your educational qualification carefully, then upload the related documents.
7. Fill in your department priority — PWD, Water Resources, or PHED — carefully. This order cannot be changed after submission.
8. Review everything on the Preview screen, then hit Final Submit. Note down the Application ID generated — this confirms your submission went through.
9. Download and save a printout of your submitted form for future reference.

💡 Pro Tip: Have your photo (20–50 KB) and signature (10–40 KB) scanned and saved in advance, in the correct format and size. It saves a lot of last-minute stress during submission.

One important detail: your name, father’s name, date of birth, photograph, signature, and thumb impression get auto-fetched from your OTR profile and can’t be edited directly in the application form. If any of these need correction, fix them in your OTR profile first, then let the system re-fetch the updated data.

Documents Required

• Recent photograph (live-captured via OTR)
• Signature and left thumb impression (scanned as per prescribed guidelines)
• Educational qualification certificates and mark sheets
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/MBC/EWS), where applicable
• Domicile / local residence certificate (mandatory for Scheduled Area posts)
• Disability certificate / UDID card (for PwBD candidates)
• Ex-servicemen discharge certificate / NOC, where applicable
