What is REET?
REET means Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers. It is a state-level teacher eligibility exam connected with Rajasthan teaching routes. REET Level 1 is usually linked with primary teacher eligibility, while REET Level 2 is usually linked with upper-primary teacher eligibility.
REET is not a direct teacher job appointment. Passing REET can support eligibility where accepted, but final selection depends on separate Rajasthan teacher recruitment rules, vacancies, merit, reservation, documents and verification process.
REET Level 1 vs Level 2
| Level | Usually For | Common Candidate Profile | Verify Before Applying |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Classes 1 to 5 / primary teacher route | Candidates with accepted elementary teacher-training qualification | Whether your qualification is accepted for primary-level eligibility |
| Level 2 | Classes 6 to 8 / upper-primary route | Graduates with B.Ed/equivalent route where notified | Subject group, B.Ed eligibility and target recruitment rule |
| Both Levels | Candidates targeting both primary and upper-primary routes | Candidates whose qualifications match both level rules | Eligibility, fee, schedule and preparation capacity |
REET Eligibility Checks
- Qualification: Check whether your academic and teacher-training qualification matches Level 1, Level 2 or both.
- Teacher-training route: D.El.Ed, BSTC, B.El.Ed, B.Ed or equivalent route should match the latest notification.
- Subject group: Level 2 candidates should check whether their academic background fits the selected subject group.
- Age rule: REET is mainly an eligibility exam, but later Rajasthan teacher recruitment may have separate age limits.
- Certificate validity: Verify validity and certificate-use rules from the latest official notification.
- Documents: Keep education, training, identity and category documents ready before applying.
Before applying, candidates can use the Govt Job Eligibility Checker to organize eligibility details and avoid basic mistakes.
REET and Rajasthan Teacher Recruitment
REET is usually an eligibility step for Rajasthan teaching routes. A separate Rajasthan teacher recruitment notification may decide vacancies, age limit, merit calculation, district preference, reservation, document verification and final appointment rules.
- Level 1 route: Check primary teacher qualification, elementary teacher-training route and recruitment rules.
- Level 2 route: Check upper-primary qualification, subject group and graduate-level rules.
- B.Ed candidates: Verify whether B.Ed is accepted for the target level and later recruitment route.
- Rajasthan job planning: Treat REET and final teacher recruitment as connected but separate stages.
