This is the number most candidates are searching for right now — the official category-wise qualifying marks for the written exam:

Note: These are provisional cut-offs tied to this year’s specific paper difficulty and the roughly 3.7 lakh candidates who appeared. Scoring above your category cut-off qualifies you for the next stage — it does not guarantee final selection, since the physical test and document verification stages still lie ahead.

Selection Process — What Happens After the Result
RSSB Forester selection runs through five stages, and the written result is only stage one:
- Written Examination (completed): 100-mark OMR-based paper, held 28 June 2026.
- Merit List / Cut-off (out now): Candidates scoring at or above their category cut-off are shortlisted — typically around 5 times the vacancy count.
- Physical Efficiency Test (PET) & Physical Measurement Test (PMT): Shortlisted candidates must clear prescribed height, chest and running/physical standards.
- Document Verification (DV): Original certificates — education, category, domicile — are checked against the application.
- Medical Examination: A fitness check confirms suitability for field forestry duty.
How to Check Your RSSB Forester Result 2026
- Visit the official RSSB website at rssb.rajasthan.gov.in.
- Go to the “Results” or “Candidate Corner” section on the homepage.
- Click on “Forester 2026: Prelims Result & List of Provisionally Selected Candidates.”
- Open the result PDF and use Ctrl+F (or your mobile PDF viewer’s search) to find your roll number.
- If listed, download and save the scorecard — it shows your subject-wise marks and qualifying status.
- Cross-check your marks against the cut-off table above for your category and area (TSP/Non-TSP).
Human Tips (Real Advice, Not Filler)
- Being above cut-off isn’t the finish line. With roughly 5x candidates shortlisted per vacancy, the PET/PMT and final merit still decide who actually gets the post — don’t relax prep just because you cleared the written stage.
- Start PET/PMT prep now, not after the call letter. Physical standards trip up more candidates than the written exam does historically for forestry and forest-guard style posts — running stamina and measurements need weeks of lead time, not days.
- Keep every original document ready today. Category certificate, domicile proof, 10+2 marksheet and CET 2024 qualifying proof — document verification is where otherwise-qualified candidates get rejected over paperwork gaps.
- Download and save your own scorecard PDF immediately. Result pages and links on state recruitment sites can get reorganised or taken down once the next stage begins.
