The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) will conduct the REET Main Examination 2026 starting tomorrow. This crucial recruitment test aims to fill 5,636 teaching vacancies in government schools across Rajasthan. Only candidates who have cleared the REET eligibility exam can participate in this mains stage.
Exam Schedule and Reporting Time
The REET Mains examination will run from January 17 to January 21, 2026. Each day will feature two separate shifts to accommodate all candidates. The morning shift is scheduled from 9:30 am to 12 noon, while the afternoon shift will take place from 3 pm to 5:30 pm.

On exam day, every candidate must carry a printed copy of their admit card along with a valid original photo identity proof. The RSSB released these admit cards on January 12 through its official website. Without both documents, entry to the examination hall will not be permitted under any circumstances.
The board has imposed strict restrictions on electronic devices and personal items. Candidates cannot bring mobile phones, smart watches, calculators, or any electronic gadgets inside the hall. Personal stationery items are also prohibited. Everyone should carefully review the instructions provided in their admit cards to avoid last-minute problems.
