Reservation Framework (Key Points)

• SC/ST/OBC/MBC: If eligible candidates are unavailable in a particular year, reserved vacancies may be carried forward for three recruitment years; thereafter filled as per general process. Roster-based reservation remains unaffected.
• EWS: If eligible EWS candidates are not available in Rajasthan, the posts will be filled as per general process.
• Women (Horizontal): Vacancies for widows and divorcee/separated women may be inter-changed first; if still unfilled, they may be filled by other women of the same category; failing which by male candidates of that category. Women’s reservation is horizontal and adjusted first against the women quota within the category.
• PwBD (Horizontal): If no suitable benchmark PwBD is available, the vacancy may be carried forward to the next year; then inter-changed among disability categories; if still unavailable, it may be filled by a non-PwBD.
• Ex-servicemen (Horizontal): Category-wise horizontal reservation with carry-forward to the next year; thereafter lapses if still unfilled.
• Domicile Applicability: Reservation benefits (SC/ST/OBC/MBC/EWS/Ex-servicemen) apply to bona fide residents of Rajasthan only. Candidates from other States must apply under General (UR). Out-of-state women who become Rajasthan domiciles after marriage are not entitled to SC/ST/OBC/MBC reservation in public employment per court rulings.
• Outstanding Sportspersons: Eligibility and reservation benefits as per notifications dated 15.03.2013 & 21.11.2019.
