The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has revealed an unexpected outcome in the Senior Teacher Competitive Examination – 2024. Against 320 Science lecturer posts, only 296 candidates qualified for eligibility verification, even though 168,206 candidates had applied.
The examination was held on September 9, 2025, across 25 district headquarters. Out of the applicants, 1,17,364 candidates appeared. Yet, after the results were declared, it became clear that very few candidates could meet the minimum qualifying marks.
The recruitment exam had two papers.
Paper I: 200 marks (minimum 80 marks required)
Paper II: 300 marks (minimum 120 marks required)
Candidates had to secure 40 per cent separately in both papers. A large number failed to reach this basic requirement and were eliminated from further stages.
