Rajasthan Animal Attendant Syllabus, Exam Pattern

The Board revised the scheme for the 2023 recruitment in September 2024. The paper as held:

• You need at least 40% in the paper.
• The standard is Secondary (Class 10).
• With more than one shift, scores are normalised. That's why the cut-offs run to four decimal places.

General knowledge at Secondary level with a Rajasthan focus, plus basic animal husbandry. From the amended scheme and syllabus (PDF):

The scheme doesn't fix how many questions come from each unit.

1. Written paper, with a merit list by category and by area (non-scheduled and scheduled are separate competitions).
2. Document verification by the Animal Husbandry Department. In 2025 about 1.25 times the posts were called: 10,687 candidates, then 1,643 more on 18 June 2025.
3. Final recommendation to the department, issued in lists as verification reports come in.

There's no interview or skill test.

Apply online with your SSO ID on sso.rajasthan.gov.in (Recruitment Portal), or at an e-Mitra kiosk. The Board charges a one-time registration (OTR) fee, not a fee per exam. Under the current rules it's ₹600 for General and creamy-layer OBC/MBC, and ₹400 for Rajasthan's non-creamy OBC/MBC, EWS, SC and ST candidates and for all candidates with disabilities. Reserved candidates from other states pay the General fee.

The 2023 notice also let candidates withdraw an application within seven days of the closing date if they didn't hold the qualification. Missing two state recruitment exams in one financial year now blocks your OTR until you pay a penalty of ₹750 (₹1,500 the second time).

Animal Attendant 2023

Age was counted on 1 January 2025. No 2026 recruitment has been advertised as of October 2026.

Results, merit lists and selection orders are on the Board's Results page under "Animal Attendant". Each selection order lists roll numbers and the cut-off for every category. Master question papers for all six shifts are on the Old Papers page.

Cut-off marks out of 150 from the final result of 7 August 2025, non-scheduled area. Later lists for non-joiners were filled further down the merit list.

Scheduled area: General 111.8614 (women 102.5894), SC 102.7641 (women 93.0250), ST 94.7516 (women 86.7395).

• Half the syllabus is Rajasthan: its geography, history and culture. Learn those well before anything else.
• The animal husbandry unit is short. Cover reproduction, digestion and common diseases of livestock, and poultry basics.
• Maths stops at percentages, interest and ratio, so it's quick marks with practice.
• A wrong answer costs a quarter mark. Skip a question only when you really can't narrow it down.
• Solve the Board's master papers from the 2024 shifts against the clock.
