RPSC Assistant Professor Recruitment 2025 – Apply for 574 Posts

The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has recently published a major recruitment notification for Assistant Professor positions in the College Education Department. In 2025, they want to fill 574 vacancies across various subjects. Yes, that’s a big number. And yes, many candidates will find this chance useful.

You will serve in government colleges in Rajasthan under the state’s education services. The roles are permanent (or long-term, as per rules), with pay, allowances, and status as a lecturer/professor. If you have a postgraduate degree and meet other norms — you should read on.

Always cross-check in the official RPSC website: rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in for original notification, updates, admit cards, etc.

Important Dates

Don’t let dates slip past you — missing a deadline means losing your chance. Here’s a table of key dates:

So the application window is from 20 September to 19 October. Be careful — forms submitted after deadline usually are rejected automatically.

Vacancies & Subjects

• Total Vacancies: 574
• Department: College Education, Rajasthan
• These posts are for many subjects — Hindi, English, Science, Commerce, Social Sciences, etc.
• It’s not just one subject; depending on your specialization, you’ll find your subject’s vacancy in the notification.

This variety means more chances — but also more competition in some popular subjects.

Eligibility Criteria

Before you apply, check whether you qualify. If you miss one condition, your form may be rejected.

Educational Qualification

• You must hold a Master’s degree in the subject you wish to teach.
• Along with that, you usually must have 55% or more marks (relaxation for reserved categories may be there).
• Additionally, you must have cleared NET / SLET / SET exam or have a Ph.D. (as per norms for Assistant Professors).
• Your degree should be from a recognized university.

These rules ensure qualified people teach in colleges — not just anyone.

Age Limit

• Minimum Age: 21 years (as of a specified date, often 1 July or similar)
• Maximum Age: 40 years (for general category)
• For SC/ST/OBC, there is age relaxation as per state government norms.

If you are close to the upper age limit, check carefully whether your category version gives extra years — it often does.

Selection Process

RPSC will follow a multi-stage process. Here’s generally what to expect:

1. Written Examination
   Subjects will include your specialization, general knowledge, reasoning, English, perhaps teaching aptitude.
2. Interview / Viva Voce
   After the written test, shortlisted candidates will be called for interview. They will test subject knowledge, communication, teaching ability, etc.
3. Document Verification
   If you clear interview, you’ll need to produce your original certificate, mark sheets, identity proofs, category certificate, etc.
4. Final Merit List / Appointment
   RPSC will prepare a final merit list combining exam + interview scores (weightage will be in notification). Those in merit list get appointed.

Some posts may have minimum cut-offs or minimum percent marks you must score in each paper. Recently RPSC has mandated, for assistant professors, a minimum of 40% aggregate and 36% in each paper to be eligible (for general category). For reserved categories, relaxations apply. Otherwise, even high score won’t count unless you hit the minimum standards.

So don’t just aim to be high in rank — get the minimum marks too.

Pay Scale, Salary & Benefits

What will you earn if selected? It’s good. These are government teaching positions with stable pay.

• Pay Scale / Level: “Level-10” pay matrix (approx ₹ 56,100 to ₹ 1,77,500)
• Allowances: You may get dearness allowance (DA), house rent allowance (HRA) (if posted where rent is required), medical benefits, and other state government allowances.
• Benefits: Job security, pension (or pension scheme as per government rules), promotions, leave, etc.

So the financial package plus stability makes this role desirable.

Tips & Human Advice

Here are a few things I’ve learned from observing recruitment processes. They help more than you think.

• Apply early. Don’t leave for last day — server may crash or net might be slow.
• Use good scans: clear, proper format, correct size. Blurry docs often get rejected.
• Keep backups (digital + physical) of everything you upload.
• In subject selection, choose carefully — don’t pick something you’re weak in just for vacancy.
• Practice old papers of RPSC / other state exams in your subject.
• Prepare general knowledge, current affairs alongside subject.
• After applying, check portal daily. Sometimes changes or updates (corrections, exam date changes) come.
• Be honest in your documents — submitting wrong or fake certificates can get you disqualified or worse.

Things to Confirm in Notification

Before you finalize, make sure you check:

• Exact eligibility for your subject (for instance, some subjects require Ph.D, others allow NET)
• Age relaxations and cutoff date for age.
• Minimum marks mandated (like 40% aggregate, 36% per paper)
• Fee structure and payment modes
• Schedule of exam & interview
• Whether there is a correction window
• Subject-wise vacancies and whether your subject is included
• Weightage (how much exam vs interview counts)

These specifics often make or break your chance.

Why This Recruitment Is Big

Let me tell you why this job matters:

• Assistant Professor positions are prestigious, respected in society.
• For many postgraduate students, this gives stable job in teaching, rather than uncertain private sector roles.
• You’ll contribute to education in Rajasthan, shaping minds in colleges.
• The pay is good, and perks / benefits come with it.
• Because there are many subjects, many people from various streams (science, arts, commerce) have chance.

So it’s more than just a job — it’s a chance to build a career in academic life.
