A total of 11,255 vacancies were notified in the beginning.
Candidates in Rajasthan for junior assistant and clerk posts whose recruitment falls under the Rajasthan Subordinate & Ministerial Services Selection Board or RSMSSB have alleged that the number of vacancies was reduced after the selection process was concluded.
Candidates, who applied for recruitment to LDC 2018 or the Lower Division Clerk and Junior Assistant recruitment, say an RTI has revealed 587 vacancies have been reduced, of which 360 are from the general category and 227 from the OBC category.
On April 29, taking note of the complaints of the candidates, state education minister Govind Singh Dostara had said he is aware of the issue. "Instead of writing a letter on such an important issue, I will discuss it with the chief minister post-lockdown and work out a solution," he had tweeted.
Rajasthan LDC 2018 was announced by the RSMSSB on April 16, 2018. The recruitment was notified as "Direct Recruitment for LDC Grade II/ Junior Assistant Exam 2018". The registration process had begun on May 10, 2018. A total of 11,255 vacancies were notified in the beginning and the exam, for selection to LDC 2018, was held from August 12 to September 16, 2018.
The exam result was announced on March 7, 2019 and a revised result was announced on March 19, 2019. Candidates who had qualified the exam were shortlisted for document verification process.
On March 1, 2019, the RSMSSB notified candidates about revision in the vacancy number. This time, the Board increased the total number of vacancy to 12,092. On March 7, the Board declared the result and it was mentioned in the notification that the recruitment is being held for a total of 12,456 posts.
In the subsequent result and revised result notices the total number of vacancies has been written as 12,456.
The final result was announced on February 14, 2020 and a second list was announced on March 6, 2020.
This time, the result notifications did not say anything about the vacancy number. Usually in government job recruitment process the recruiting organisation releases a notification giving details on the total number of vacancies, the category wise vacancy distribution, number of candidates selected in each category and cut off marks category wise. This pattern is followed by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and Staff Selection Commission (SSC) along with many other government organisations.
