RSSB CET Graduate Level 2026 Exam Pattern And Syllabus

All questions in the RSSB CET Graduate Level 2026 exam pattern are multiple choice and carry equal marks. There is a negative marking of one third (1/3) of the marks allotted to each question for a wrong answer. A candidate must fill one of the five options for every question in the OMR sheet, since leaving a question blank without darkening any option also results in one third negative marking for up to 10 percent of unattempted questions.

The detailed subject wise syllabus includes topics such as Indian and Rajasthan history with special reference to the freedom movement, geography of India and Rajasthan, Indian polity with focus on Rajasthan, Indian and Rajasthan economy, science and technology, logical reasoning and mathematics, current events and civic duties, public health basics, computer knowledge and general Hindi and English language.
