The Rajasthan Subordinate and Service Selection Board (RSSB) has notified 3,951 Basic Computer Instructor (BCI) posts for the 2026 recruitment cycle. This page summarises the official vacancy details, eligibility criteria, age limit, selection process and the subject-wise prep MeritPrep ships for the BCI Paper II syllabus. Also known as the Rajasthan Basic Computer Teacher 2026 Vacancy, this is the largest computer-instructor hiring wave the state has seen in several years.
BCI posts are filled at the recruitment level across government schools in Rajasthan. The RSSB notification breaks the 3,951 posts down by category (General / OBC / SC / ST / EWS / MBC) and by district / TSP / non-TSP allocation. The bulk of the seats sit at the recruitment grade with a Level-11 pay matrix, in line with the Rajasthan Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules.
For aspirants targeting the Senior Computer Instructor (SCI) grade instead, see our companion page on the Senior Computer Instructor 2026 Vacancy Rajasthan. The two exams share Paper I but differ sharply on Paper II depth.
