Admit card out, countdown on: what to know and how to download
Six exam days, 2,129 vacancies, and a tight entry window. Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has released the RPSC 2nd Grade Teacher Admit Card 2025, and the Senior Teacher (Secondary Education) recruitment test is set for September 7 to 12, 2025. If you applied, your hall ticket is live on rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in, recruitment.rajasthan.gov.in, and through the state’s SSO portal. The commission also issued exam city intimation on August 31, so your city is already fixed—now it’s about the exact center, shift, and timing on the admit card.
The hall ticket carries your name, roll number, subject, exam date, reporting time, shift, and the test center address. Cross-check spelling, subject group, and photo. If anything looks off, use the Helpdesk/Contact section on the RPSC portal and flag it immediately. Don’t wait for the exam day to sort a mismatch.
Downloading is straightforward. Log in to the SSO portal with your registration credentials. Go to the Recruitment section, choose Senior Teacher Grade II 2025, and fetch your admit card. If you’re using rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in or recruitment.rajasthan.gov.in, use your application/registration number and password/date of birth to sign in and download. Save a PDF copy, and print at least two clean copies. Keep one as backup for document verification later.
RPSC advises downloading early to avoid last-minute server rush. If the site is slow, wait and retry rather than refreshing rapidly. Clear your browser cache or switch to a different network if it keeps timing out.
Exam day rules, schedule, and selection process
There is a hard entry cut-off: you must enter the center up to 60 minutes before the paper starts. After that, the gates close—no exceptions. Plan your travel with a buffer for traffic, parking, and security checks. Reach early, finish biometric/ID verification calmly, and settle in.
ID rules are strict. Carry your original Aadhaar card with a color print. If the Aadhaar photo is old or unclear, bring a valid alternate ID—voter ID, passport, or driving license. Also paste a recent color photograph on your admit card as instructed. Without proper ID and a photo on the hall ticket, you won’t be allowed in.
Electronic gadgets are typically barred—phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices, calculators, and digital pens. Carry only essentials: admit card (with affixed photo), original ID, simple stationery as allowed, and any other item mentioned on your admit card. Follow the printed instructions on the hall ticket exactly; the invigilator’s word is final inside the hall.
The exam will use an OMR-based format. RPSC has allotted an extra 10 minutes per question paper to fill the fifth option on the OMR sheet. Read the OMR instructions carefully before you start marking—fill bubbles completely, avoid stray marks, and use the permitted pen type only. If you make a mistake while shading, follow the invigilator’s guidance; do not overwrite unless the instructions allow it.
The recruitment spans multiple subjects organized into groups to manage shifts across the six days. General Knowledge (GK) and Social Studies (SST) are in Group A, as notified. Other subjects are scheduled in separate groups so that centers can handle multiple sessions smoothly. Check your paper’s exact date and shift on your admit card—do not rely on assumptions or someone else’s timetable.
If this is your first RPSC OMR test, keep a simple routine: read the paper plan, budget time section-wise, and leave two minutes to verify your OMR bubbles before handing it in. Use the extra 10 minutes for the OMR fifth option only when instructed; don’t eat into your solving time early on.
After the written test, RPSC will carry out document verification for shortlisted candidates. Keep your original certificates ready: educational qualifications, category or reservation documents (if applicable), domicile or caste certificates, and any other proofs listed in the recruitment notification. Photocopies should match the originals; mismatches can derail an otherwise successful result.
A few practical tips help avoid avoidable stress: check your center location on maps a day early, keep your clothes and stationery ready the previous night, and reach with water and any permitted medication. If your center is far, consider arriving in the city the day before. Small planning steps save big headaches when the entry window is strict.
What if the admit card won’t download? First, ensure your registration number and password are correct. Reset your password through the SSO portal if needed. Try during off-peak hours, switch to a different browser, or use a stable wired connection. If the issue persists, contact the RPSC helpdesk with your application details and a screenshot of the error page.
What if the photo on Aadhaar is too old? Carry a second photo ID (voter ID, passport, or driving license) and the printed admit card with a fresh color photo pasted in the box provided. Keep both IDs ready during frisking so the staff can match your face to the documents without delay.
What if you reach late? The rule is clear—no entry after the 60-minute cut-off before the exam starts. There is no provision for a separate sitting or rescheduling. Leave home early and build in extra time for the unexpected.
Once the exam window closes on September 12, RPSC will move to evaluation and release official updates in stages. Keep your admit card safe even after the test—you’ll likely need the roll number for answer keys, objections (if allowed), and result checks. Official updates will be posted only on the RPSC portals mentioned above; avoid relying on unverified social media posts.
For candidates in Group A subjects like GK and Social Studies, the admit card is already reflecting shift details. For others, the card is your single source of truth for date, shift, and center. If you’re appearing in more than one subject (as permitted), check each admit card carefully; subjects may fall on different days and centers.
RPSC’s schedule is tight, so centers will follow a disciplined flow: frisking, ID check, seating, instructions, test, OMR sealing, and exit in batches. Cooperate with staff, read the instruction sheet fully, and don’t carry any prohibited items that could lead to debarment. Keep your focus on accuracy and clean OMR marking—small errors there can cost marks.
The bottom line is simple: download the admit card now, verify every detail, arrange your IDs and photo, and reach the center well before time. The next six days decide who moves to document verification for 2,129 Senior Teacher posts across Rajasthan. Preparation counts, but so does following every instruction on that A4 sheet in your hand.
