Court Orders Major relief: RPSC Reopens Portal to Allow All 2021 SI Candidates in Upcoming September Re-Exam

In a monumental development for uniform-job aspirants across Rajasthan, the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has officially rolled out a comprehensive update regarding the Sub-Inspector (SI) Recruitment 2021 re-examination. Acting directly on a landmark directive issued by the Jaipur bench of the Rajasthan High Court on July 2, 2026, the commission has provisionally extended the golden opportunity to appear in the upcoming re-test to all candidates who had originally applied during the 2021 cycle. The highly anticipated competitive examination is locked to take place nationwide on September 20, 2026, breathing new life into the career dreams of thousands of previous applicants.

To secure their eligibility slot for the upcoming test, candidates must log into the official portal to update critical personal identifiers. The digital correction window is scheduled to go live on July 8 and will accept inputs until the midnight cutoff on July 22, 2026. However, the commission clarified that applicants who already completed their application updates during the previous compliance window opened on May 8, 2026, do not need to perform any further online modifications.

High-Security Protocols: Mandatory Live Photos, Thumb Impressions, and OTR KYC

To ensure absolute transparency and completely eliminate the threat of impersonation or document fraud, the RPSC has integrated high-tech security protocols within the application framework. The commission has clearly stated that failure to execute these security updates will lead to the immediate rejection of the candidacy.

• SSO Authentication: Applicants must first navigate to the centralized state portal, authenticate using their unique SSO ID credentials, and proceed directly to the 'My Recruitment' module.

• OTR Upgrade: Before touching the core application, it is completely mandatory to execute a fresh Know Your Customer (KYC) verification within the One-Time Registration (OTR) architecture.

• Biometric Uploads: The portal now strictly requires the user to stream and upload a verified live photograph, along with high-resolution digital scans of their thumb impression and signature within the OTR dashboard.

• OTP Verification: Once the corrections are keyed in, the applicant must read and accept a digital self-declaration prompt. The final submission is securely locked and processed only after inputting a time-sensitive One-Time Password (OTP) dispatched to the candidate's verified mobile number.

Strict Scope of Corrections: Syllabus and Base Eligibility Remain Unchanged

The commission has issued a stern reminder to students that this temporary window is not an open invitation to rewrite their entire history. The digital modification parameters are exceptionally narrow, limiting edits strictly to operational communication tags and identity marks. Candidates can easily alter their active mobile numbers, official email IDs, present correspondence addresses, live profile photographs, thumb impressions, and signatures.

Crucially, foundational parameters such as the candidate's age limit, core educational qualifications, and category-based reservation tags will remain completely frozen. The underlying framework governing recruitment eligibility remains firmly anchored to the baseline notification published on February 3, 2021, alongside the structural amendment letter dated June 7, 2021. Additionally, the commission confirmed that the competitive examination blueprint and syllabus will remain identical to the syllabus guidelines outlined in the official press release on May 22, 2026, allowing students to continue their preparation models without any sudden structural surprises.
