Rajasthan SSO APO Hall Ticket Link — Download via SSO Portal

As the RPSC recruitment process uses the state's central login system, candidates have the option of obtaining their admit card from the SSO Rajasthan portal, which is helpful in cases where the direct RPSC link is slow because of the high volume of traffic around the exam date.

  1. Login to sso.rajasthan.gov.in using your SSO ID and password.
  2. In the section called Citizen Apps (G2C) select 'Recruitment Portal'.
  3. Choose the application for the RPSC APO Recruitment 2026 that is currently going on.
  4. Press the 'Get Admit Card' button and make sure that the Date of Birth you registered is confirmed.
  5. Download the PDF and check that the exam centre, roll number, and photograph are correct before printing.

Hint: When you're having trouble getting your admission card on either of the two portals, check first whether your application fee has been paid — an incomplete payment is usually the main reason why candidates are unable to generate their hall ticket.

RPSC APO Exam Date & Shift Timings 2026 (02 September)

RPSC APO Prelims 2026 exam city and shift details are printed directly on the admit card, but based on RPSC's standard pattern for the APO exam, here is what candidates should plan around:

Detail Timing
Exam Date 02 September 2026
Reporting Time at Centre At least 90–120 minutes before exam start
Gate Closure Time 11:00 AM (strict)
Exam Commencement 12:00 PM
Exam Duration 2 Hours
Last OMR Submission At the end of exam time — no extra time for bubbling

⚠️ Strict Gate Closure Warning

RPSC adheres to a policy which prohibits entry after the gates have closed. The entrance to the examination centre is closed precisely 60 minutes before the exam starts – so, for an exam beginning at 12:00 PM, the gates close at 11:00 AM exactly. Unlike certain other competitive exams which permit late entry with a penalty, RPSC does not allow anyone to enter even by a few minutes after the gates have closed, no matter what the traffic conditions, the length of the biometric queue, or the presence of legitimate delays. It is strongly advised to arrive at the assigned centre between 10:30 AM and 10:45 AM in order to allow sufficient time for the frisking and biometric verification.

Mandatory 5th-Option OMR Bubbling Rule (Avoid Negative Marking)

The rule is one of the most misinterpreted ones among candidates who are taking the RPSC exam, and it has a direct impact on your final score.

  • The RPSC APO OMR sheet has five options for each question—A, B, C, D, and E.
  • If you know the answer, make sure you mark A/B/C/D with a blue ballpoint pen.
  • If you decide not to answer a question, you must fill in Option E ("Not Attempted").
  • If you leave a row entirely blank—that is, if you leave all five options unmarked—you receive a mark deduction of one-third, which is exactly the same penalty as if you had selected a wrong answer.
  • If more than one option is selected or if both a letter and Option E are marked for the same question, then that response is made invalid.

As a practical strategy, don't leave it until the final five minutes to mark answer E for questions that you've skipped—with 100 questions involved, that could take up between 10 and 15 minutes. Instead, mark your answers as you go, or use the last 15 minutes just for a complete OMR check to make certain that no row is left blank.

RPSC APO Admit Card 2026: If You Face a Download Error

  • The 'Details Not Found' error — please verify your Application Number/SSO ID and the format of your DOB (DD/MM/YYYY); a payment failure is the most frequent cause.
  • A server timeout occurs close to the release date—try accessing it during off-peak hours (such as late at night or early in the morning) or switch from the RPSC portal to the SSO portal.
  • The photo on the hall ticket is blurred or incorrect—this is usually due to a problem with the print rendering; however, if the issue still exists after re-downloading, you should contact the RPSC helpline before the exam.
  • If the admission card indicates the wrong examination centre, then you must report this immediately to RPSC using the grievance/helpline number listed on the official website and should not wait until the day of the exam.
