RSMSSB Junior Accountant Eligibility 2026: Age and Qualification
RSMSSB Junior Accountant eligibility rests on four checks: a qualifying Rajasthan CET (Graduation Level) score, a recognised degree, a prescribed computer qualification and an age between 21 and 40 years. The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB, formerly RSMSSB) applies these conditions to both Junior Accountant and Tehsil Revenue Accountant (TRA) posts in its combined recruitment.
As of October 2026, no new notification has been released. The rules below come from the latest cycle, Advertisement No. 02/2023, dated 20 June 2023. The 2023 cycle saw a High Court case over candidates who were under 21 or lacked the computer qualification, so read each condition closely before you apply next time.
