RSSB Computer Instructor Cut Off 2026; Expected Cutoff, Previous Year Trends & Category-Wise Marks

RSSB Computer Instructor Cutoff 2026 — Overview

About This Recruitment & What “Cutoff 2026” Means Right Now

The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) released the Computer Instructor Notification 2026 under Advertisement No. 07/2026 on 22 May 2026, inviting applications for a combined 3,951 vacancies for Senior Computer Instructor and Basic Computer Instructor posts (commonly called “Computer Anudeshak” in Rajasthan) across the Secondary Education Department and Sanskrit Education Department. This is one of the largest Rajasthan computer-teacher recruitment drives in recent years. Online applications closed on 23 June 2026, and the written examination is scheduled for 22–23 August 2026, conducted in two shifts across both days at various centres statewide.

Important context: Since the written exam for this 2026 recruitment cycle has not yet been conducted (today being 8 August 2026), the official Cut Off has NOT been declared. RSSB will release cut-off marks only after the exam is conducted and answer sheets evaluated, alongside the result. What follows in this article combines the current recruitment status, how the cut-off will eventually be decided, and previous years’ Rajasthan Computer Instructor cut-off trends to help you gauge what to expect.

How RSSB Computer Instructor Cut Off Marks Are Decided

• Difficulty Level of the Question Paper: A tougher paper generally results in a lower cut-off, and an easier paper tends to push cut-offs higher
• Total Number of Vacancies: With 3,951 posts on offer this cycle (a relatively large number), the cut-off could trend somewhat more accessible than in years with fewer vacancies — though this depends heavily on how many candidates ultimately appear
• Number of Candidates Who Appear: Higher competition (more applicants per seat) tends to raise the cut-off; RSSB has separately released the number of applications received via an RTI reply, which helps gauge competition intensity
• Candidate’s Category: Cut-off marks are announced separately for General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, MBC, and other applicable categories, and are typically further split by Male/Female and by TSP (Tribal Sub-Plan) / Non-TSP area, since Rajasthan recruitment often follows this area-wise division
• Cut-off marks are typically expressed as the score of the last selected candidate in each category/post/area combination that determines the shortlist for document verification

Rajasthan Computer Instructor — Previous Year (2022) Cut Off Trends

• In the previous major recruitment cycle (2022), RSMSSB (as RSSB was then known) filled a total of 10,167 vacancies for Basic and Senior Computer Instructor posts
• The written exam for that cycle was held on 18–19 June 2022
• Candidates needed to secure a minimum of 40% marks in each paper to qualify the written examination — this was the baseline qualifying threshold applied across categories
• Final cut-off marks were released category-wise — General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS — separately for Male and Female candidates, and separately for TSP (Tribal Sub-Plan) and Non-TSP areas
• RSSB also released a revised cut-off for the General Female (Divyaang/differently-abled) category later in the cycle (around August 2022), showing that supplementary/revised cut-offs are sometimes issued after the initial result
• Some EWS and OBC vacancies that remained unfilled were subsequently filled from the General category candidate list, reflecting how RSSB handles category-wise vacancy shortfalls
• Candidates were called for document verification at a ratio of approximately twice the number of vacancies per post/category, based on their written exam performance

Note: These are historical trends from the 2022 RSMSSB/RSSB Computer Instructor recruitment cycle and are shared only as a general reference. The 2026 cutoff will depend entirely on this year’s exam difficulty, the 3,951 vacancy count, category-wise demand, and the actual number of candidates appearing for the 22–23 August 2026 exam.

RSSB Computer Instructor 2026 — Exam Pattern Recap

• The exam consists of Objective-type (MCQ) questions, with a total of 100 questions carrying 100 marks per paper
• Marking Scheme: 1 mark awarded for every correct answer; 1/3rd mark deducted for every incorrect response (negative marking applies)
• Blank-Question Disqualification Rule: Candidates will be disqualified if more than 10% of total questions are left blank/unmarked
• An extra 10 minutes is provided at the end of the exam specifically to verify OMR sheet markings
• Each question has five options (A, B, C, D, and E) on the OMR sheet, as per RSSB’s revised OMR marking protocol for this recruitment
• The exam is conducted in Offline, OMR-based mode, across two shifts on each of the two exam days (22 and 23 August 2026)

Factors That Could Influence the 2026 Cut Off Specifically

• Large Vacancy Count (3,951 posts): While smaller than the 2022 cycle’s 10,167 vacancies, this is still a substantial number that could keep the cut-off relatively accessible compared to years with far fewer openings — though this depends on final applicant turnout
• Blank-Question Disqualification Rule: The newly emphasised 10%-unmarked-questions disqualification rule could affect how candidates attempt the paper, indirectly influencing the score distribution and resulting cut-off
• Negative Marking (1/3rd per wrong answer): This discourages random guessing, which can affect overall score distribution and, in turn, the resulting cut-off compared to exams with different or no negative marking
• Two Separate Posts (Senior vs Basic Instructor): Since eligibility, exam content emphasis, and competition levels can differ between Senior and Basic Computer Instructor posts, cut-offs for the two are highly likely to differ meaningfully
• TSP/Non-TSP & Department-wise Split: With vacancies spread across the Secondary Education and Sanskrit Education Departments, and further divided by TSP/Non-TSP areas, cut-off trends can vary considerably even within the same post category

Eligibility Criteria (Recap)

• Age Limit: 18 to 40 years, as on 1 January 2027
• Age Relaxation: As per Rajasthan Government norms for reserved category candidates
• Educational Qualification: Varies by post — Senior Computer Instructor and Basic Computer Instructor each have distinct academic requirements in Computer Science/related fields, from a recognised university/institute, as prescribed in the official notification
• Additional Requirement: Candidates must know Hindi in Devnagari script and have working knowledge of Rajasthan Culture

What to Do While Waiting for the Cut Off — Last-Mile Preparation

• With the exam roughly two weeks away (22–23 August 2026), focus your remaining preparation time on solving previous years’ RSSB/RSMSSB Computer Instructor papers and full-length timed mock tests
• Thoroughly revise the official syllabus and exam pattern, paying close attention to the marking scheme, any sectional cut-offs, and the confirmed negative marking rule (1/3rd mark per wrong answer)
• Practice careful, deliberate OMR-marking habits in your mock tests — given the new blank-question disqualification rule (more than 10% unmarked = disqualified) and the 5-option-per-question format, accuracy in filling the sheet matters as much as knowing the answer
• Allocate dedicated study time across Computer Science core concepts, General Knowledge/Reasoning, and Rajasthan-specific culture and current affairs, based on the weightage defined in the official syllabus
• Download your Admit Card / Exam City Slip well in advance using your Enrollment Number, Registration Number, or Date of Birth on the official portal, and verify your allotted exam centre and shift
• Keep checking rssb.rajasthan.gov.in regularly for the Answer Key, Result, and eventual Cut Off announcement once the exam concludes
