Exam Calendar · Nov 2026 – Feb 2027
Rajasthan's two recruitment boards have packed this winter. The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) released a revised calendar on 28 September 2026 that puts the CET Senior Secondary level on 1–3 December 2026 and the CET Graduation level on 16–18 January 2027. The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) holds RAS Prelims on Sunday 6 December 2026.
This page lists every RSSB and RPSC exam date we could confirm between mid-November 2026 and February 2027, with the day of the week and shift details where the boards have published them. The boards call these dates tentative until admit cards are out, so check the official notice before you book travel. We are a guest house in south Jaipur, so the part about rooms comes at the end.

Looking further ahead, RAS Mains 2026 is scheduled for Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 May 2027.
RSSB revised its calendar because of the urban local body and panchayati raj elections in October 2026. The CET Senior Secondary level had been planned for 23–25 October 2026 and now runs on 1–3 December.
RPSC made its own change earlier. A press note dated 2 July 2026 moved RAS Prelims from 29 November to 6 December 2026 and set the APO Main exam for 27 December 2026, citing administrative reasons. If you saved or printed a calendar before October, it is probably out of date.
For RSSB exams the exam city intimation slip comes first. It tells you the district, not the centre, so it is enough to decide whether you are travelling to Jaipur but not enough to plan the morning.
The admit card follows closer to the exam. It is the document that gives your centre address, shift, reporting time and the time the gate closes. In recent RSSB exams candidates were told to report two hours before the paper and that entry would close one hour before it began. Read your own admit card for the exact times, because they differ between exams and between boards.
CET Senior Secondary runs from Tuesday to Thursday, RAS Prelims follows on Sunday 6 December, and Teaching Associate subject papers start the next day. Some candidates are in Jaipur for more than one of these. December is also peak wedding season in Jaipur, when rooms near the city's marriage gardens and banquet halls fill early. Book once your district is confirmed.
The CET Graduation level overlaps the Jaipur Literature Festival (14–18 January 2027) at Hotel Clarks Amer on JLN Marg, which is 8 to 10 minutes on foot from our gate. South Jaipur is busier than usual that weekend, so this is the one to book earliest.
The APO Main exam falls between Christmas and New Year, the busiest week of the year for Jaipur's hotels. Candidates should book as soon as they know their centre is in Jaipur.
Our exam survival guide has the full checklist: what to carry, what to leave in the room, and the food to avoid the night before.
Send your exam, date and shift on WhatsApp. Exam weeks fill fast, so book once your district is confirmed.
From Tuesday 1 to Thursday 3 December 2026, with two shifts each day, according to the revised RSSB calendar released on 28 September 2026. The board calls the dates tentative, so confirm on rssb.rajasthan.gov.in and your admit card.
From Saturday 16 to Monday 18 January 2027: two shifts on 16 and 17 January and a morning shift on 18 January, per the revised RSSB calendar of 28 September 2026.
On Sunday 6 December 2026. RPSC moved it from 29 November 2026 in a press note dated 2 July 2026. RAS Mains 2026 is scheduled for 1 and 2 May 2027.
Because of the urban local body and panchayati raj elections in October 2026. The CET Senior Secondary level had earlier been planned for 23–25 October 2026 and moved to 1–3 December 2026.
RSSB first issues an exam city intimation slip, which names only the district. The admit card comes closer to the exam and gives the centre address, shift, reporting time and gate-closing time. Download both from the board's website or the Rajasthan SSO portal.
