Two major government recruitment updates have been reported recently: the PSSSB Excise Inspector Recruitment 2026 (197 vacancies) and the RPSC Statistical Officer Recruitment 2025 (113 vacancies). If you are planning to apply, the most important steps are to track the official notification, confirm eligibility, and build a preparation timeline around the exam pattern and syllabus.

1) PSSSB Excise Inspector Recruitment 2026 (197 posts)

What this recruitment is about

The Punjab Subordinate Services Selection Board (PSSSB) has announced an Excise Inspector recruitment drive for 197 posts. As per the update, the online application window is set to start from 13 February 2026. This is typically a competitive selection process, so early planning helps—especially for document readiness and exam preparation.

What candidates should do next

  • Watch the official notification: Use the notification to confirm category-wise vacancies, eligibility (education/age), and selection stages.
  • Prepare documents in advance: Common requirements include ID proof, educational certificates/marksheets, category certificates (if applicable), photo/signature in prescribed format, and any domicile/reservation documents mentioned.
  • Plan around the selection process: Many inspector-level recruitments involve a written test and document verification; some may include physical/medical standards depending on rules. Verify the exact stages from the notification.
  • Build a study plan: Focus on expected core areas (often general knowledge, reasoning, quantitative aptitude, and subject/departmental awareness if applicable) and practice previous-year style questions when available.

2) RPSC Statistical Officer Recruitment 2025 (113 posts)

What this recruitment is about

The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has released a notification for Statistical Officer recruitment (113 posts). The update indicates that online applications begin from 28 October on the official RPSC website. Statistical Officer roles generally attract candidates with a statistics/mathematics/economics background, and the exam tends to be more subject-intensive than generalist posts.

How to prepare strategically

  • Confirm subject eligibility: Statistical Officer posts often specify degree subject combinations and minimum marks/qualifications—check this carefully before applying.
  • Prioritize the syllabus: Expect a strong focus on statistics (probability, inference, regression, sampling, index numbers, time series, etc.) alongside general studies/administrative knowledge depending on RPSC’s structure.
  • Practice problem-solving: Make formula sheets, solve numerical/statistics problems daily, and review concepts through mock tests.
  • Track deadlines and fee rules: RPSC recruitments commonly have clear windows for application, fee payment, and correction; missing a deadline can disqualify an otherwise eligible application.

Common checklist for both recruitments

  • Read the official notification end-to-end: Most mistakes come from skipping fine print (eligibility cut-off dates, format requirements, and category rules).
  • Keep a single folder of originals + scanned copies: Rename files clearly (e.g., Name_Degree.pdf) and keep them within size limits.
  • Use a deadline calendar: Note application start/end dates, fee last date, admit card schedule, and exam dates (once announced).
  • Prepare for verification: Ensure certificates match the details you enter in the form (name, DOB, category, marks).

Final note

Recruitment headlines are useful for early awareness, but your final source of truth should always be the official board/commission notification and the instructions on the official application portal. Before you submit, double-check eligibility and uploaded documents to avoid preventable rejection.
