[2026:RJ-JP:13139] (2 of 3) [CW-4854/2026]

circumstances of the case may also be passed in favour of the petitioner."

2. It is stated that the respondent- Rajasthan Staff Selection Board, issued an advertisement dated 20.02.2025 for inviting applications from all eligible candidates for recruitment to the post of Patwari. Clause 6 of the advertisement deals with eligibility and educational qualification, which lays down that apart from qualifications enumerated, candidates are also required to possess

the RSCIT Certificate.

3. Learned Counsel for the petitioner indicates that Clause 6 makes it clear that even a person who is appearing in last year of the qualifying examination, shall also be entitled to participate in

the recruitment process, and shall be considered eligible.

4. Learned counsel further submits that his candidature has been rejected vide letter dated 30.12.2025 issued by the Deputy Registrar, Board of Revenue, Rajasthan , Ajmer on the ground that

result of RSCIT was declared on 09.09.2025.

5. Learned counsel submitted that the screening examination pursuant to the above advertisement took place on 17.08.2025

and its result was declared on 03.12.2025 (Annexure 6).

6. Learned counsel submits that since the result of RSCIT was declared prior of result of the Government examination, therefore, in the light of Clause 6 of the advertisement prescribing that the result of the qualifying examination should be declared prior to the final result of the written examination, the petitioner cannot be

held ineligible.

7. Heard Learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the

record.

admission only on 09.03.2025.

9. Even otherwise, the relaxation can be granted to candidates in relation to academic qualification and not in respect of any training certificate. RSCIT is not an academic qualification; therefore, Clause 6 for granting relaxation to the candidates for appearing in the last year of examination would not be applicable

in respect of RSCIT certificate.

10. In view of above, this Court does not find any error in order dated 30.12.2025 rejecting the candidature of the petitioner.

Hence, this present writ petition is hereby dismissed.

Pending applications, if any, also stand d
