Rajasthan CET Senior Secondary Syllabus 2026: Subject-wise Topics

The Rajasthan CET Senior Secondary syllabus covers 13 subject areas, from Rajasthan history and geography to reasoning, computer knowledge, Hindi and English. The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) sets the paper at the Class 12 level for the 12th level Common Eligibility Test.

This page lists the subjects and the topics under each one, shows which subjects deserve early attention and gives a phased plan for covering everything. The topic lists follow the notification as reported by education news sources. The RSSB website could not be opened while this page was drafted, so use the lists below as a working checklist and compare them with the official syllabus PDF on rssb.rajasthan.gov.in.

Syllabus at a glance

All 120 questions come from these subjects and carry two marks each.

Key points to know before you start

• The syllabus is broad, not deep: Questions are set at a Class 10 to 12 level, so the challenge is coverage and recall.

• Rajasthan focus: Five of the 13 subjects are about Rajasthan, and polity is asked with special reference to the state.

• Newer subjects: Public health (first aid, CPR, drug abuse) and the Rajasthan Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2022 are listed under current affairs. Older syllabus pages may not show them.

• Per-subject question counts: The sources used did not give a verified count for each subject. Do not trust a page that quotes exact numbers without citing the notification.
