Hey there, future Patwaris of Rajasthan! If you’ve been constantly refreshing the RSMSSB website for your Patwari 2025 result, we feel you. The wait after an exam is always nerve-wracking. But we have a crucial official update that clears the air, even if it’s not the news you were hoping for.

The Chairman of the Rajasthan Subordinate and Ministerial Services Selection Board (RSMSSB), Mr. Alok Raj, has stepped forward to manage expectations. In a recent statement, he made it clear: the result date is not yet fixed, and it’s unlikely to be announced before Diwali.

The Big Picture: What Happened in This Recruitment?

Let’s quickly recap the scale of this opportunity. This recruitment drive is for a total of 3,705 Patwari posts—a dream job for thousands of 10th and 12th pass candidates across the state. The written exam was held on 17th August 2025, and it saw a massive turnout.

A staggering 6.76 lakh aspirants walked into the exam halls, showcasing just how sought-after this government position is. For many, this isn’t just a job; it’s a ticket to a stable, respected career in their home state.

So, Why the Delay? The Official Reasons Explained

You might be wondering, “It’s been a while, what’s taking so long?” It’s a fair question. Chairman Alok Raj has explained the process, and it’s more complex than it seems from the outside.

The delay isn’t because the board is sitting idle. Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes:

  1. Addressing Objections: After the exam, many candidates raised objections or challenges regarding certain questions in the paper. The board is legally bound to review each and every one of these objections carefully. Rushing this could lead to unfair results, and they want to avoid that.

  2. The “Normalization” Process: This is a crucial step that often causes delays but is essential for fairness. The exam was conducted in multiple shifts. The difficulty level of the paper can vary slightly between shifts. The normalization process is a statistical method used to balance these variations, ensuring no candidate is at an advantage or disadvantage based on which shift they took the exam.

Mr. Raj has assured everyone that the board is working to declare the results “as soon as possible.” However, he was candid in saying that with these steps still underway, a pre-Diwali announcement is “probably difficult.”

What Can You Expect When the Result is Out?

Once the hurdles are cleared, here’s what will happen:

  • The Merit List & Cut-Off: The result will be accompanied by a merit list and category-wise cut-off marks (for General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.). The cut-off is not a pre-set number; it depends on several factors like the number of vacancies, the overall performance of candidates, and the difficulty of the paper.

  • Next Step – Document Verification: If your name is on the merit list, congratulations! The next and final hurdle will be the document verification round. This is where you need to prove your eligibility with your original certificates.

Your Action Plan While You Wait

Instead of fretting, use this time wisely. Here’s what you can do:

  • Keep Your Documents Ready: Start gathering all your essential documents—your 10th/12th mark sheets, caste certificate (if applicable), domicile, and ID proofs. Having a neat file ready will save you a last-minute scramble.

  • Stay Updated, Not Anxious: Avoid falling for rumors from unofficial Telegram channels or WhatsApp groups. The only reliable source is the official RSMSSB website: rsmssb.rajasthan.gov.in. Bookmark it and check it periodically.

  • Prepare for the Next Round: While the main exam is over, mentally preparing for the document verification process is a good idea.

The Bottom Line: Patience is Your Best Ally

We know this wait is tough. For the 6.76 lakh candidates who poured their efforts into this exam, this period of uncertainty is challenging. But it’s better to have a clear, honest timeline than to be left in the dark.

The board is following due process to ensure the final result is fair for everyone. So, take a deep breath, enjoy the Diwali festivities when they come, and trust that your hard work will pay off.

Your result will come, it’s just a matter of time. Stay positive and keep your documents handy!
