Jaipur: The Rajasthan government has announced a Common Eligibility Test (CET) for recruitment in various government jobs.

The state government will conduct the eligibility test on the lines of Staff Selection Commission (SSC).

For the recruitment to the government posts such as Village Development Officer, Patwari (Village Accountant), Ministerial Staff, etc., now there will be one common eligibility test conducted instead of a separate examination.

The state Cabinet has also decided to scrap the process of interviews completely in some direct recruitment examinations except in Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) examination.

The Rajasthan State and Subordinate Services (Direct Recruitment by Combined Competitive Examination) Rules, 1999, (RAS Recruitment) and other service rules will be modified to do away with the provision of interviews.

The decision was taken in the cabinet meeting held late on Tuesday evening, which was chaired by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his Council of Ministers.
