Major update on the recruitment for 900 PTI posts in Rajasthan: The exam will not be held in September 2026..
An important update has been released for aspirants preparing to become Physical Education Teachers (PTIs) in government schools across Rajasthan. The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) has issued a significant update regarding the PTI recruitment examination. While the exam was previously expected to be held in September 2026, it has now been postponed to the following year.
The RSSB has clarified that the PTI recruitment exam will not take place on September 13, 2026. According to the Board, clarifications regarding certain recruitment rules are still pending, causing a delay in advancing the recruitment process. Consequently, the exam is now likely to be conducted in 2027.
**RSSB Chairman Shares Information on Social Media**
RSSB Chairman Alok Raj shared this information on the social media platform 'X', stating that the recruitment notification would be issued only after obtaining the necessary clarifications regarding the rules. He noted that, given the current circumstances, holding the exam in 2026 is not feasible. The Board will now aim to conduct the exam in April 2027; however, the specific dates and schedule will be announced only after the rules are clarified.
**Exam Previously Proposed for September 2026**
Initially, the Board had planned to conduct the exam in September 2026. It was anticipated that the recruitment notification would be released by the last week of June, followed by the commencement of the online application process. Candidates were expected to have about a month to apply, but the entire timeline has now been pushed back.
**Recruitment Planned for 900 Posts**
The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board is preparing to recruit for approximately 900 PTI positions across the state. The official recruitment advertisement has not yet been released. The recruitment schedule will be announced only after the procedural formalities regarding the rules are completed.
**Eligibility and Age Limit for Recruitment**
To be eligible for the PTI recruitment, candidates must have passed the 12th-grade examination from a recognized board. Additionally, possessing a recognized qualification in physical education—such as B.P.Ed., D.P.Ed., or C.P.Ed.—is mandatory. The minimum age for recruitment has been set at 18 years and the maximum at 40 years. Age will be calculated as of January 1, 2027. Meanwhile, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS candidates, as well as female candidates, will receive age relaxation in accordance with government rules.
