Video-Based Vacancy Context for the Next Cycle
The June 2, 2026 YouTube update from Utkarsh Agriculture Classes adds a useful preparation-side interpretation for students waiting for the next RPSC FSO vacancy:
- the speaker says a fresh cycle of around 100 posts had been discussed earlier
- the speaker argues that the immediate bottleneck is not student demand, but the presence of existing deputation-based arrangements
- the speaker also says that after the older 2019 and 2022 recruitments, some posts are still vacant and that a new announcement can become easier if deputation-linked posts are cleared
This should be read as educator commentary, not as an official vacancy notice. So the safe rule is:
- official 2022 vacancy figure = use the advertisement
- possible next-cycle vacancy discussion = use the video only as informal context until RPSC or the department publishes a formal notice

The advertisement also carries category-wise relaxation provisions. Use the original PDF while applying because relaxation interpretation can change by category and service condition.

For candidates comparing posts, the most practical reading is that RPSC FSO is a serious Rajasthan state technical post with a stronger subject-specific role than a generic clerical or assistant-level recruitment.
