1 Seat, 167 Candidates: The Real Competition Ratio for RSSB Agriculture Supervisor 2026

The 2026 RSSB Agriculture Supervisor recruitment has officially entered its most serious stage. With applications closed on February 11, 2026, the numbers show that only the most prepared students will succeed. Here is a detailed look at the numbers, the competition, and what you actually need to do to win one of the 1,100 available spots.

Huge Turnout: 1,80,000+ Apply for the RSSB Agriculture Supervisor Exam 2026

Following the closure of the registration portal, data confirms that the youth of Rajasthan are eager to join the state’s agricultural department. This year, approximately 1.83 lakh candidates have submitted their forms to compete for the 1,100 advertised positions.

This massive interest highlights the growing demand for stable government jobs in the agriculture sector. With the One-Time Registration (OTR) system in place, the board saw a smooth flow of applications right up until the final deadline.

1 Seat, 167 Candidates: Breaking Down the Numbers

The main number is high, but it is based on real math. For the 2026 exam, the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) has announced 1,100 total jobs (944 for Non-TSP and 156 for TSP areas). Based on the latest data for Rajasthan’s agriculture sector, about 1.8 to 1.9 lakh candidates have applied.

  • Total Jobs: 1,100
  • Total Applicants: ~1,83,396
  • Competition Ratio: ~167:1

This means that for every person who gets a job, 166 others will miss out. However, the “Real Competition” is usually much lower than the “Paper Competition.”

Success Strategy: How to Beat the 166

To be the “1” person who wins out of 167, your plan must be very sharp:

  • Master the “Agri-Trio”: Agronomy, Horticulture, and Animal Husbandry make up 60% of the paper. You must score very high in these sections.
  • The GK Advantage: Rajasthan GK is where local students can get ahead. Focus on new agricultural schemes launched by the Rajasthan government.
  • Hindi is the Decider: Many agriculture students ignore General Hindi. Because the competition is so close, the 15 Hindi questions often decide who passes the cut-off.
  • Practice Mock Tests: Aim for a “Safe Score.” Looking at past results and the number of applicants, you should aim for 225+ marks (for General category) to be safe.

The 1:167 ratio is a warning, not a reason to give up. The RSSB Agriculture Supervisor 2026 exam is a great chance to get a respected government job in Rajasthan.

The application correction window is open until February 14, 2026. Make sure your details are 100% correct, because on April 18, there is no room for mistakes.
