3. Understanding the Result (Beyond “Qualified” or “Not Qualified”)

What does this result actually represent?

This result is only the outcome of the written examination. It does not guarantee final selection. It simply determines eligibility for the physical and personality-based stages, which together carry significant weight.

About cut-offs

RSSB has not published cut-off marks publicly in the result notice. This is common in Rajasthan uniformed recruitments. Practically, this means:

  • You cannot reliably judge your standing purely by marks.
  • Selection margins can be narrow, especially for Non-TSP posts where competition is intense.

If your name/roll number is in the list

Congratulations-but this is where many candidates relax too early. The written exam is often the easiest stage for academically strong aspirants. Physical tests and interviews eliminate a large number of candidates every year.

If you did not qualify

This does not mean you are “not capable.” Many candidates miss written cut-offs by 1-2 marks. Often, weak areas include Rajasthan GK or Hindi expression rather than overall intelligence. Treat this as diagnostic feedback, not a final verdict.

4. Next Steps After the Result - A Guided Walkthrough

Stage 1: Physical Efficiency Test (PET)

Expect running, endurance, and stamina-based tasks. This stage is eliminatory in nature.

What to do now

  • Start structured physical training immediately.
  • Focus on cardiovascular endurance, not just strength.
  • Avoid sudden intense workouts-injuries are common at this stage.

Stage 2: Physical Standard Test (PST)

Height, chest, and other measurements are checked strictly.

Common mistake: Candidates assume “approximate” measurements are acceptable. They are not.

Stage 3: Interview

RSSB interviews focus on:

  • Leadership mindset
  • Discipline
  • Awareness of Rajasthan culture
  • Clear communication (not English fluency alone)

Stage 4 & 5: Document Verification and Medical

Even strong candidates get rejected here due to:

  • Incorrect caste certificates
  • Expired domicile
  • Unnoticed medical issues (vision, posture, old injuries)

5. Cut-Off Analysis & Competition Insight

With only 84 posts statewide, the competition ratio is extremely high. Two key reasons cut-offs tend to remain tight in this exam:

  1. Low vacancy, high seriousness Platoon Commander posts attract candidates already preparing for police and defence services.

  2. Balanced syllabus The exam filters casual aspirants effectively, leaving a narrow band of similarly capable candidates.

For future aspirants, this result reinforces one truth: you cannot rely on “average” preparation for uniformed RSSB posts.

6. Preparation Strategy for the Upcoming Stages

Physical Preparation (Daily)

  • Morning: 2-3 km progressive running
  • Evening: flexibility + core strength
  • Weekly: mock PET simulation

Interview Preparation (Weekly)

  • Revise Rajasthan history, administration, and culture
  • Prepare personal background answers (education, motivation, leadership examples)
  • Practice calm, command-oriented communication

Documentation (Immediate)

Create a dedicated folder with:

  • Graduation certificate
  • Caste/EWS certificates (latest format)
  • Rajasthan domicile
  • ID proofs
  • Admit card and result printouts

7. Pros & Cons of Reaching This Stage

Opportunities

  • Very limited candidate pool beyond written exam
  • Physical and interview stages reward discipline and consistency, not rote learning

Challenges

  • Physical standards are unforgiving
  • Medical rejection rates are higher than expected
  • Pressure increases significantly after qualification

Set expectations realistically: this is a process, not a single exam.

8. Practical Checklist for Candidates

Do immediately

  • Download and print the result
  • Track RSSB website daily (not just Sarkari portals)
  • Begin physical conditioning seriously

Avoid these common mistakes

  • Ignoring minor injuries
  • Depending on unofficial cut-off guesses
  • Carrying outdated certificates
  • Missing PET/PST dates due to email negligence

9. Conclusion

If you have qualified, treat this result as permission to move forward-not as success achieved. The real evaluation of a Platoon Commander begins with physical endurance, composure under pressure, and administrative discipline.

If you have not qualified, pause, analyse, and recalibrate. Many successful officers today did not clear their first attempt. What matters is whether you learn the right lessons from this result.

Stay grounded, stay informed, and prepare with intent.
