Checking the RSMSSB portal and seeing your roll number on the list of selected candidates is one of the most euphoric moments of your life. Months of grueling preparation have paid off. However, clearing the written examination is not the end of the journey; it is merely the completion of Phase 1.
The bureaucratic machinery of the state government moves meticulously. From the moment the results are declared to the day you write your name on the school attendance register, you will navigate a highly structured labyrinth of verification and counseling.
This guide outlines exactly What Happens After Cracking the Computer Instructor Exam, so you are fully prepared for the administrative journey ahead.

1. The Euphoria and the Reality Check
When the written exam results are announced, the board usually releases a "2x list" or "1.5x list."
What does this mean? If there are 10,000 vacancies, the board will call approximately 15,000 to 20,000 candidates for Document Verification (DV). This is done because a significant percentage of candidates will be disqualified due to invalid degrees, incorrect category certificates, or simply not showing up.
Therefore, seeing your roll number on the first list does not guarantee you a job. You must survive the DV process and make it to the Final Merit List (1x list).
2. Step 1: The Cutoff and Document Verification (DV) Call
Shortly after the results, the RSMSSB will issue a detailed schedule for Document Verification. You will be assigned a specific date, time, and location (usually a nodal center in Jaipur or a divisional headquarters).
The Scrutiny Form (Detailed Application Form - DAF): Before attending the physical DV, you must fill out a detailed Scrutiny Form online via your SSO ID. This form asks for an exhaustive breakdown of your educational history, family details, and category claims. You must pay a nominal scrutiny fee online and print multiple copies of this detailed form to bring to the DV center.
3. Step 2: The Document Verification Process (The True Final Exam)
This is the most critical hurdle. The DV panel is ruthless. They are looking for reasons to disqualify you to filter the list down to the exact vacancy count.
You must bring two to three sets of self-attested photocopies of all your documents, along with the absolute originals.
The Critical Documents Checklist:
- Educational Degrees: 10th, 12th, and your B.Tech/BCA/MCA mark sheets for every single semester. Do not just bring the final consolidated sheet; they want to see every semester.
- Degree Certificate: The actual degree or a provisional certificate if you recently graduated. (For detailed eligibility, read our Computer Instructor Qualifications Guide).
- Category Certificates: This is where most rejections happen. Your OBC-NCL or EWS certificate MUST have been issued prior to the last date of filling out the original application form.
- Domicile Certificate (Mool Niwas): Proving you are a resident of Rajasthan (crucial for state reservations).
- Marriage/Unmarried Certificate.
- Character Certificates: Usually one from your last attended educational institution and two from Gazetted Officers.
If there is a minor spelling mistake in your name between your 10th mark sheet and your B.Tech degree, you must bring a legal affidavit explaining the discrepancy.
4. Step 3: The Final Merit List and District Allotment
Months after the DV process concludes, the board will release the Final Merit List (The 1x List). If your roll number is on this list, congratulations! You have officially secured the job.
The RSMSSB will then forward the list of selected candidates to the Education Department (Directorate of Secondary Education, Bikaner).
District Preference Filling: The Directorate will ask you to fill out your district preferences online via the Shala Darpan portal. You will rank all 33+ districts of Rajasthan based on where you want to be posted.
The Allotment Algorithm: Districts are allotted based on your rank in the final merit list and your category. If you are a top ranker, you will get your home district. If your rank is lower, you might be allotted a district hundreds of kilometers away. (Note: Female candidates, widows, and PwBD candidates are usually given priority in getting their preferred districts).
5. Step 4: School Counseling and Posting
Once you are allotted a specific district (e.g., Udaipur), you will be called for physical counseling at the Zila Parishad or the District Education Office (DEO) of that specific district.
The Counseling Process: The DEO will display a list of all vacant schools in the district. Candidates will be called into the room one by one, strictly according to their state merit rank.
- When your name is called, you look at the board of remaining vacant schools and select one.
- If you are ranked #1 in the district, you get the pick of the entire district (usually a school right in the city).
- If you are ranked last, you will get whatever school is left over (often in a deep rural area).
Once you select your school, the DEO issues your official Posting Order.
6. Step 5: Police Verification and Medical Fitness
Before you can physically join the school, you must clear two legal hurdles.
1. Police Verification: You must apply for a Police Clearance Certificate online (usually via the E-Mitra portal). The local police station of your permanent address will verify that you have no pending criminal cases against you.
2. Medical Fitness Certificate: You must visit the Principal Medical Officer (PMO) or the Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) of a government hospital. They will conduct basic medical tests (eyesight, general health) and issue a Medical Fitness Certificate stating you are physically capable of performing government service.
Important: Do not get the medical certificate made months in advance. It usually needs to be dated after your posting order is issued.
7. Step 6: Joining and The Probation Period
Armed with your Posting Order, Police Verification, and Medical Certificate, you travel to your allotted school.
The Joining Day: You present your documents to the School Principal. Once they verify your papers, you write your name and joining time in the official school attendance register. You are now officially a Rajasthan Government Employee!
The Probation Period: This marks the beginning of your 2-year probation period. During this time:
- Your salary is fixed (roughly ₹18,500/month for Basic Instructors).
- You are strictly evaluated on your conduct and performance.
- You cannot take extensive leaves without permission.
Once you successfully complete these two years, you are confirmed as a permanent employee, and your salary scales up to the full Level-8 matrix. For a complete breakdown of this financial journey, read our Computer Instructor Salary Progression Guide.
8. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens if my B.Tech final result comes out after the Document Verification date? A: You will be disqualified. The official rule states you must possess the educational qualification on or before the date of the written examination, not the DV date.
Q: Can I reject the school allotted to me and wait for a better one? A: No. If you do not join the allotted school within the stipulated timeframe (usually 15-30 days from the posting order), your candidacy is canceled, and the seat is given to someone on the waiting list.
Q: Is the Police Verification a strict process? A: Yes. If you have an active FIR against you for a serious non-bailable offense, your joining can be put on hold. Minor traffic challans do not affect verification.
Q: When does my salary actually start? A: Your salary starts accumulating from the exact minute you sign the joining register at the school. However, bureaucratic processing means your first actual paycheck might take 2 to 3 months to arrive (you will get the arrears in a lump sum).
Q: Can I request a transfer to my home district during the probation period? A: No. Transfers are strictly banned during the 2-year probation period. Even after probation, transfers require government policy windows and are highly competitive.
9. Conclusion
The path from seeing your name on a PDF to stepping into a classroom as a "Computer Instructor" is a masterclass in government bureaucracy. It requires patience, immense organizational skills, and strict adherence to deadlines.
By understanding this roadmap, you can gather your certificates early, anticipate the district allotment math, and sail through the document verification process without anxiety. While the administrative hurdles are tedious, the moment you sign that joining register and secure your lifetime career, every ounce of stress will be entirely worth it.
