Rajasthan Holds Long‑Delayed Police SI Re‑Exam Under Tight Security

Overview

• The re‑examination was held on Sunday, September 20, 2026 at 666 centres across 11 districts with 218,114 candidates registered for the SI and Platoon Commander posts.
• RPSC reported first‑shift attendance of 151,774 (69.58%) and second‑shift attendance of 150,559 (69.03%), with Tonk recording the highest turnout.
• Officials used layered checks including biometric verification, facial recognition and frisking at test centres to prevent impersonation and paper leaks.
• The Special Operations Group identified 50 applications with discrepancies, questioned about 1,200 debarred or suspect people and arrested three wanted criminals who reached exam centres on the day.
• The re‑exam follows the cancelled 2021 test after a paper leak and about 149 prior arrests, and final results will depend on RPSC’s review of objections and ongoing SOG probe which could change candidate outcomes.
