Jaipur: After the Rajasthan high court lifted the ban, REET second level results were declared on Tuesday evening. The primary education department has now started the recruitment process for 28,000 posts of grade 3 teacher (level 2). Applications can be made for this recruitment from August 3.
Director of the department, Shyam Singh Rajpurohit said that the last date of application will be August 23. The result of the examination conducted by the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) on February 11 was 34.63 percent. Around 2, 53,239 candidates were declared eligible in the examination, while 4 lakh candidates remained ineligible.
Board secretary Meghna Chaudhary said that 7, 31,323 candidates from the state had given the examination. A total of 3, 42,140 male candidates appeared in the examination.

About 3, 89,283 female candidates appeared in the examination and out of these, 1, 10,152 passed, making up 28.30 percent of the total candidates.
One Kamlesh Kumar Meena had filed a petition in the Rajasthan high court seeking that the exam should be re-conducted. The petitioner pleaded before the court that the exam paper was leaked an hour before it started. The court had stayed declaration of the results of the examination on February 28, 2018. The stay was lifted on Tuesday.
The other candidates, including Sharad Pawar, have made a plea in the court to lift the ban. Upon hearing the arguments of the parties concerned in this matter, the court reserved the judgment on July 7. On Tuesday, the court dismissed the petition and directed the RBSE to declare the results.
Chief Minister, Vasundhra Raje congratulated board officials after the high court order. The students however, faced problem in accessing their results as the site got too much traffic and witnessed downtime. The site was showing invalid roll number and date of birth due to which students were not able to access their results and this problem did not get rectified until Wednesday morning.
