RSMSSB Junior Engineer (Civil, Diploma standard) recruits JEs for Rajasthan's PWD, PHED, Water Resources and Panchayati Raj departments through a diploma-level paper conducted by the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board. It is the primary government-job route for diploma civil engineers in Rajasthan.
The paper combines Rajasthan GK (40 marks) with diploma-standard civil engineering (80 marks) in a single 2-hour objective exam — so the merit list rewards aspirants who prepared both sides, not just the technical half.
