The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) has made a major change in the Rajasthan Common Eligibility Test (CET) 2024 rules. Negative marking will no longer be a part of the exam. This means candidates can now take the exam without worrying about losing marks for incorrect answers. An official notice about this change has not been released yet, but RSSB will issue one soon. Candidates should regularly check the official website for updates: rssb.org.
Reason for the Change
The decision to remove negative marking was made in response to student protests. Earlier this month, RSSB had announced that the CET for graduate-level positions would include one-third negative marking. This led to significant opposition from candidates. Ultimately, the board decided to remove negative marking.
Benefits for Candidates
With negative marking removed, candidates can now attempt more questions without fear of losing marks for incorrect answers. This will allow them to try answering questions they are unsure about, as there will be no penalty for wrong answers. This change is a big relief for students.
Job Opportunities
Through this recruitment exam, candidates can apply for various positions such as Patwari, VDO, Junior Accountant, and Supervisor in departments like the Women Empowerment Department. To pass, candidates need to score at least 40% marks. After passing the CET, they become eligible to participate in 11 different recruitment exams.
Government Intervention
Students had been protesting against the negative marking rule for some time. The government had to intervene and address their concerns. The official notice confirming this change will be released soon. Candidates are advised to regularly check the official website for updates.
