**Rajasthan Teacher Recruitment Sees 47,000 Candidates Withdraw Before Exams**
**Udaipur:** In a significant development for the upcoming Senior Teacher Recruitment Exam 2024, the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has announced that nearly 47,000 candidates have withdrawn their applications. This comes ahead of the exams scheduled to begin on September 7th.
The withdrawals are attributed to candidates recognizing that they did not meet the required eligibility criteria for the senior teacher positions. Initially, the RPSC received 11.87 lakh applications for the 2,129 senior teacher vacancies. However, following a review process and a voluntary withdrawal window offered by the commission between July 7th and 11th, the number has been reduced to 11.40 lakh.
The RPSC also released a list of 346 candidates with suspected discrepancies in their applications, specifically highlighting mismatches between the applied-for post and the graduate subject. This list included candidates from various subjects, including Hindi, English, Science, Mathematics, Urdu, Social Science, Punjabi, and Sindhi. This measure likely prompted further withdrawals from those who had submitted multiple applications or realized their ineligibility.
“The significant reduction in the number of candidates will streamline the exam process,” said an RPSC official. “It ensures that resources are focused on those who genuinely meet the criteria for becoming senior teachers.”
The Senior Teacher Recruitment Exam is scheduled to take place from September 7th to September 12th.
