Window has passed — all reported deadlines are behind us
Rajasthan Safai Karamchari 2026 — 24,752 Posts, and a Deadline Worth Checking Twice
Rajasthan's Safai Karamchari recruitment covers roughly 24,752 posts, making it the largest single state recruitment currently running anywhere in India.
It also carries a problem you need to know about before anything else: published closing dates for this recruitment disagree.
Verify the deadline before you do anything else. We have now seen the last date reported three different ways: 28 September 2026, 1 October 2026 and 13 October 2026. The first two have passed. The third, 13 October 2026, is days away. If the earlier dates were the correct ones, this recruitment is already over; if the latest is correct, a short window remains. We cannot tell you which, and no secondary source should be trusted to. Open the official Rajasthan government recruitment portal and confirm before you make any assumption.

Why the scale matters
To put 24,752 posts in context: railway Group D, the largest central recruitment of the year, carried 22,195. A single state's sanitation recruitment is larger than that.
Posts of this kind generally sit at the entry pay level and accept minimal formal qualification, which makes them among the most accessible government employment available. It also means the applicant field is very large, and selection is usually by merit or a basic screening rather than a competitive written examination.
Local and district-wise allocation
Sanitation recruitment is organised by municipal body and district rather than as a single state list. Your competition is the field for your own local body, not all 24,752 posts' worth of applicants. The district-wise table in the notification is the part to read.
Domicile and local residence conditions apply, and reservation categories specific to Rajasthan operate alongside the standard ones.
Before you apply
- Confirm the closing date on the official portal. Nothing else on this page matters if you get that wrong.
- Check the district-wise vacancy table and apply where you are eligible to.
- Get your domicile and category certificates in the Rajasthan-prescribed format, valid on the date the notification specifies.
- Keep your educational certificates scanned and legible. Where selection is merit-based, the documents are the whole application.
Why we are flagging this rather than picking a date
Our editorial policy is to state a disagreement rather than resolve it silently. A confident wrong deadline on a recruitment this large would cost people a year. Where the official notification settles it, we will update this page and note the correction.
