REET 2026: Notification, Eligibility, Syllabus, Admit Card & Result Guide

Understanding the REET Examination: An Overview

The Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers (REET) is a gateway for individuals aspiring to teach in government schools in Rajasthan. Conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan (BSER), REET is not a direct recruitment examination but rather a qualifying test. Candidates who successfully clear REET receive a certificate, which makes them eligible to apply for various teacher recruitment drives conducted by the Rajasthan government.

The examination is bifurcated into two levels:

• Level 1 (Primary Teacher): For candidates aspiring to teach Classes 1 to 5.
• Level 2 (Upper Primary Teacher): For candidates aspiring to teach Classes 6 to 8.

Candidates can choose to appear for either Level 1, Level 2, or both, provided they meet the respective eligibility criteria. The REET certificate has a validity period, typically for a lifetime, which allows qualified candidates to apply for teacher vacancies whenever they arise, without needing to re-qualify REET. This examination plays a pivotal role in ensuring that only qualified and competent individuals enter the teaching profession in Rajasthan.
