How to Apply: The SSO Ecosystem

Rajasthan has streamlined its recruitment through a One-Time Registration (OTR) system via the SSO portal.

1. Access Portal: Navigate to sso.rajasthan.gov.in and log in with your credentials (create one via Jan Aadhaar if you haven’t).
2. Launch Recruitment App: Click on the “Recruitment Portal” application tile.
3. Select LDC/Junior Assistant Link: Under ongoing recruitment, find “Clerk Grade-II/Junior Assistant Exam 2026” and hit apply.
4. OTR Verification: Since you must have an existing OTR profile from your CET 2024 registration, the system will auto-populate your base data. Ensure your CET details match perfectly.
5. Fee Structure: If you haven’t paid the lifetime OTR fee earlier:
   • General/Creamy Layer OBC: ₹600/-
   • Non-Creamy OBC/EWS/SC/ST/PwBD (Rajasthan Domicile): ₹400/- (If previously paid, you do not pay again).

7. Final Submit: Cross-verify all fields. Corrections, once submitted, incur heavy penalty fees. Print the application form digitally for Phase 2 physical verification.

5-Month Preparation Roadmap for 05 July Exam

With the proposed exam roughly five months away, a segmented strategy is vital.

• Months 1-2 (Foundation Base): Focus squarely on Paper B languages (Hindi/English grammar). Simultaneously, clear RS Aggarwal Mathematics concepts daily for 2 hours. Start logging 15 minutes of dual typing practice—don’t wait for Phase 1 results!
• Months 3-4 (Raj GK Heavy Lift): Transition deep into Rajasthan History, Culture, and Geography. Use standard texts like “Lakshya Rajasthan” or “Panorma”.
• Month 5 (Mock Drill Phase): Current affairs from Mooma magazine (last 12 months) + 3 full-length OMR-based mock exams per week. Master the 1/3 negative marking restraint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. I am in the final year of 12th/waiting for RSCIT results. Can I still apply? Yes, appearing candidates can apply. However, you must produce proof of passing your 12th and the requisite computer certificate strictly before the date of the written examination (Phase 1) or the typing test (Phase 2) as specifically mentioned in the official notification clause.

Q2. Are other state candidates eligible? Yes, candidates belonging to states outside Rajasthan can apply. But they are strictly considered in the Unreserved (General) category and hence must clear the higher UR cut-offs and receive no age relaxations.

Q3. Is there a physical test? No. Clerical roles only demand a basic medical fitness certificate furnished at the time of joining. No running or height criteria exist.
