Rajasthan SET 2026 — Overview
University of Kota (on behalf of the Government of Rajasthan) (Rajasthan SET) has released the notification for Rajasthan State Eligibility Test (SET) to fill the notified posts in Rajasthan. Applications are submitted online at uok.ac.in, and candidates who meet the qualification and age criteria below can apply before the last date.
This is two objective papers in one sitting — a common teaching-and-research aptitude paper and a subject paper, with no negative marking. Understanding the pattern early matters: the question-type table further down this page lists exactly what each section asks, so you can start with the sections that carry the most marks instead of reading the syllabus end to end.
Read the official notification PDF in full before you pay the fee — vacancy reservation, relaxations, post preferences and centre choices are locked at the application stage and are usually impossible to change once the correction window closes.
