Rajasthan CET 12th level result and roll number
Rajasthan uses a Common Eligibility Test (CET) at senior secondary level. It is not a job by itself. It is a qualifying test, and your CET score is used to shortlist you for the main exams of 12th level posts that the board announces later. The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board, earlier known as RSMSSB, conducts it.
The RSMSSB CET 12th level result is published on rssb.rajasthan.gov.in, usually as a score card you open with your roll or application number and birth date. The same notice explains the qualifying marks for each category and for how long the score stays valid. The CET 12th level cut off for a main exam is decided post-wise, so read each main exam notice. More on Rajasthan bodies is on our Rajasthan jobs page.
Railway, Agniveer, NDA and police after 12th
- Railway NTPC undergraduate: class 12 pass. Selection usually goes through two computer based tests, then a typing skill test for typist posts or an aptitude test where needed, then documents and medical. More railway options are on our railway jobs page.
- Agniveer clerk and store keeper: class 12 in any stream with a minimum aggregate and subject marks set in the notice. Agniveer technical asks for science with Physics, Chemistry and Maths.
- NDA: UPSC holds a written exam twice a year as a rule, followed by a Services Selection Board interview and medical. Army wing is open to any stream, while Air Force and Naval wings ask for PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Maths) in class 12. Women can apply.
- Police constable: most states now ask for class 12. Selection is a written test, physical tests and medical. See our police jobs page for state boards.
Typing and computer skills that decide many 12th level jobs
Many clerk posts are lost not in the written exam but in the skill test. Start practising typing while you prepare for the written exam.
| Exam and post | Usual standard |
|---|---|
| SSC CHSL, LDC and JSA | 35 words per minute in English or 30 in Hindi on computer |
| SSC CHSL, Data Entry Operator | 8,000 key depressions per hour |
| Railway clerk cum typist posts | 30 words per minute in English or 25 in Hindi |
| State clerk posts | Hindi or English typing, sometimes in a set font or keyboard layout, as per notice |
Some state posts also ask for a computer certificate, for example the NIELIT CCC, before joining or at the time of applying. Check this early because the course takes time.
How to apply and documents to keep ready
- Read the full notice, especially qualification, age on the cut-off date and the posts you want.
- Check your age using the calculator tool linked on our sarkari naukri hub.
- Register on the official portal and save your login details.
- Fill your class 10 and 12 details exactly as on the marksheets, attach the photo and signature scans, then pay and submit.
- Download the confirmation page and note when the admit card is expected.
Keep these ready: class 10 certificate for date of birth, class 12 marksheet, caste and EWS certificates in the right format, domicile certificate for state posts, typing or computer certificate if asked, and a clear photo.
Watch out: students waiting for a class 12 result can apply only if the notice clearly allows it. Choosing a wrong category, a mismatch in name spelling, and forgetting the post preference step are the most common reasons for trouble at document verification.

Open the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board website, find the CET senior secondary result link and log in with your roll or application number and birth date. Save the score card, as main exam shortlisting uses it.
