REET 2026: Does Passing It Guarantee a Government Job?

Balasahana Suresh
No — simply passing the REET exam does not automatically guarantee a government job. The Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for teachers (REET) is a teacher eligibility test required in the state of rajasthan, but qualifying it is only the first step toward employment, not the final appointment itself.

🎓 What REET Actually Is

  • REET is conducted by the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) or Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan.
  • It certifies that a candidate is eligible to apply for teaching jobs in government schools — mainly for:
    • Level 1 (Primary Classes 1–5)
    • Level 2 (Upper Primary Classes 6–8)
  • The certificate earned has lifetime validity, meaning once you pass the exam, the eligibility stays with you.
📌 Eligibility ≠ Job

  • Passing REET makes you eligible to apply for teacher vacancies — it does not by itself make you a teacher.
  • After qualifying the REET exam, you must still apply through separate recruitment drives when government vacancies are announced.
  • Selection for a teaching position usually involves:
    • Application for specific teacher vacancies
    • Document verification
    • Merit list preparation
    • Sometimes interviews or further selection stages depending on the post.
Example: For the rajasthan teacher recruitment drive, candidates must first qualify REET and then apply for respective teacher posts in government schools. The appointment depends on the competitive recruitment process, not only on qualifying REET.

🎯 Benefits of Passing REET

Even though it doesn’t guarantee a job, passing REET offers important advantages:

Required eligibility for government teacher recruitment in Rajasthan.

Priority for many private school teaching jobs within the state.

Helpful for preparing other teaching eligibility tests like CTET or TET.

You can attempt the exam any time without age restrictions.

Opens career options such as coaching or online teaching.

Summary

✔ Yes – Passing REET 2026 is mandatory to be eligible for teaching positions in Rajasthan’s government schools.
❌ No – It does not automatically guarantee that you will secure a government job. You still need to apply for specific recruitments and compete with other qualified candidates.
