RPSC Senior Scientific Officer Recruitment 2025-26: Latest Corrigendum October 2026
The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has issued a further corrigendum related to Advertisement No. 14/2025-26, originally dated 23 December 2025, for Assistant Director (DNA Division) and Senior Scientific Officer positions in the State Forensic Science Laboratory, Jaipur. The update reported on 12 October 2026 revises the vacancy classification for Senior Scientific Officer in the Biology and Serology divisions.
Important: This is a corrigendum update for an existing recruitment, not a new application notification. Candidates should read the original advertisement and every subsequent corrigendum together. The latest amendment reportedly increases the number of Senior Scientific Officer posts by one each in the Biology and Serology divisions and revises the category-wise distribution; other recruitment conditions remain unchanged unless the official document states otherwise.

What changed in the latest corrigendum?
The latest corrigendum relates to the category-wise vacancy classification for the Senior Scientific Officer posts in the Biology and Serology divisions. Recruitment reporting indicates that each of those two divisions has one additional post, with the revised category-wise allocation notified by RPSC. Candidates should download the official corrigendum to confirm the precise revised table and how the changes affect their category.
Do not calculate the revised total or reservation split from a short summary alone. The signed RPSC corrigendum and its vacancy table are the authoritative documents. If the amendment changes only the vacancy distribution and not eligibility, the other conditions of the original advertisement continue to apply as stated by the commission.
Posts covered by the recruitment
The recruitment concerns specialist scientific roles in the State Forensic Science Laboratory, including Assistant Director (DNA Division) and Senior Scientific Officer positions across notified scientific divisions. The specific degree, postgraduate subject, experience and other professional requirements depend on the division and post. Applicants should use the original Advertisement No. 14/2025-26 to check the discipline-wise requirements rather than assuming that a general science qualification qualifies for every post.
Eligibility: check the exact division
Scientific and forensic laboratory recruitment can prescribe precise subject combinations, postgraduate qualifications, relevant experience and other conditions. Candidates should compare the exact qualification named in the original advertisement with their degree certificate and marksheets. A related subject or an equivalent-sounding degree should not be assumed acceptable unless RPSC’s notice permits it.
Where the advertisement specifies experience, applicants should check the required duration, nature of work, employer documentation and the date by which the experience must have been acquired. Keep original certificates and supporting records ready for any later verification.
Age limit and other conditions
Use the age cut-off, relaxation rules and eligibility date stated in the original advertisement and any applicable amendments. Do not apply a general RPSC age rule without checking this specific recruitment. Category-wise benefits or other relaxations must be supported by valid documents in the prescribed format.
Application status and next steps
The corrigendum itself should not be treated as proof that a fresh application window is open. Candidates who applied earlier should review the amendment, retain their application acknowledgement and monitor the RPSC portal for exam-centre information, admit-card notices, examination schedules and further corrections. Candidates who did not apply should first check the original notification and current portal status; they should not assume the corrigendum reopens applications.
- Open the official RPSC website.
- Search Advertisement No. 14/2025-26 and the latest corrigendum issued in October 2026.
- Download the original advertisement and all later amendments.
- Compare the revised Biology and Serology vacancy/category tables with the earlier version.
- Check the official notice board for the current examination and admit-card status.
- Keep application details and qualification documents ready for the next stage.
Documents to retain
- Submitted application form and registration number.
- Fee acknowledgement, if applicable.
- Degree and postgraduate certificates and marksheets relevant to the chosen scientific division.
- Experience certificates and supporting records if required by the original advertisement.
- Category certificate or other proof for a reservation or relaxation claimed.
- Admit card and official examination instructions when issued.
How to interpret vacancy amendments
A corrigendum may revise a post count, category allocation, qualification clause, date or administrative instruction. Candidates should identify exactly which table or paragraph has changed and leave unrelated conditions unchanged unless the amendment says otherwise. For reservation-related changes, compare the category headings, subcategory notes and totals carefully. If a candidate’s category is affected, the official revised table—not an older recruitment summary—should be used for reference.
Keep both the original advertisement and the latest corrigendum in the same folder. This is useful if the candidate later needs to demonstrate which instructions were in force when the application was submitted or when document verification takes place.
Corrigendum verification worksheet
Use this method to understand a vacancy corrigendum without accidentally applying an older table. Keep the original advertisement open beside the newest amendment. Identify the post and division named in the corrigendum, then compare the old and revised vacancy tables row by row. Check the category headings, horizontal reservation notes, totals and any footnotes. Record only changes explicitly made by the commission.
| Verification item | Record |
|---|---|
| Original advertisement | Advertisement No. 14/2025-26, dated 23 December 2025 |
| Corrigendum | Latest official amendment and publication date |
| Division affected | Biology or Serology, as applicable |
| Vacancy count | Compare original and revised official table |
| Category allocation | Copy the revised values from the signed notice |
| Other conditions | Confirm whether eligibility, age or dates were changed |
For example, if a corrigendum adds a post to a division and revises category allocation, applicants should use the amended category table while continuing to follow unchanged eligibility clauses from the original notice. Never infer a candidate’s eligibility from the total number of vacancies alone.
Keep a PDF copy of both documents in the same folder as your application acknowledgement. For another Rajasthan recruitment update, see RSSB JE exam dates and Rajasthan Safai Karmchari recruitment.
