About Rajasthan CET 12th Level

CET (Senior Secondary level) is the qualifying test for 12th-level posts. The 2026 notice lists 14 posts, including Rajasthan Police constable, clerk grade II and junior assistant posts in many departments, and forester. It does not give a job by itself; each post has its own later recruitment for CET-qualified candidates.
