Application Fee and Payment Method

The application fees are structured as follows:

• For Unreserved (General) category candidates and those belonging to the creamy layer of Backward Class/More Backward Class from Rajasthan State, the application fee is INR 700/-.

Additionally, as per a circular dated 02 May 2018, candidates from all categories whose family's annual income is less than INR 2.50 lakh will pay the same fee as Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe candidates, which is INR 350/-. Such candidates must submit an Income Certificate, duly issued by the competent authority, during eligibility verification. Failure to do so will require them to pay the difference in the fee amount as per their original category.

The application fee must be paid online. The online application form is integrated with a payment gateway, allowing candidates to complete the payment process using Debit Cards (RuPay/Visa/MasterCard/Maestro), Credit Cards, Internet Banking, IMPS, Cash Cards, or Mobile Wallets. Candidates should wait for server intimation after submitting payment details and avoid pressing the Back or Refresh button to prevent double payment. A successful transaction will generate an e-receipt, which candidates must print along with their application form. If an e-receipt is not generated, the payment is considered unsuccessful, and candidates should log in again to repeat the payment process.

Selection Process

The selection process will primarily be conducted through a competitive examination. This examination may be organized either online or offline, and the specific details regarding its mode, date, and center will be published on the RSIC website in due course. A merit list will be prepared based on the marks secured by candidates in this examination.

The stages of the selection process are as follows:

1. Competitive Examination: This is the initial stage, where candidates will appear for a written test. The examination scheme includes two parts, Part-I and Part-II, each with specific subjects and maximum marks. Candidates must achieve minimum qualifying marks in this stage to proceed further.
2. Proficiency Test: Only those candidates who successfully obtain the minimum qualifying marks in the written examination will be eligible to appear for the Proficiency Test. The number of candidates called for this test will be a maximum of five times the total number of advertised vacancies for each post. If multiple candidates secure the same percentage of marks at the cut-off for the 5x limit, all such candidates will be included. The Proficiency Test will assess typing skills in both Hindi and English, along with efficiency tests.
3. Document Verification: Candidates who are provisionally selected based on their performance in the competitive examination and proficiency test will be required to undergo document verification. They must submit two copies of their detailed application form, along with original documents, self-attested photocopies of all necessary certificates, and a copy of the e-call letter issued for the examination at RSIC. Eligibility will be checked against these documents.
4. Medical Check-up: After successful document verification and final selection, candidates will need to submit a medical certificate issued by a competent authority, confirming their full fitness and suitability for serving as an employee in RSIC.

The final merit list of qualified candidates will be prepared based on the combined marks obtained in the Written Examination and the Proficiency Test.
