What is RSOS and Why It Matters
If you missed your regular school board exams, or if you’re a working adult who wants to complete their secondary or senior secondary education — Rajasthan State Open School (RSOS) could be your second chance.
RSOS, officially under the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE), Ajmer, is designed specifically for students who couldn’t complete their formal schooling. It offers flexible examination schedules, open-book study options, and self-paced learning.
Every year, lakhs of students across Rajasthan and neighbouring states enroll in RSOS Class 10 (Secondary) and Class 12 (Senior Secondary) programs. The 2026 result cycle is especially important as it covers a large batch of candidates who appeared in the March–April 2026 examinations.
Whether you’re a first-time RSOS student or a repeater attempting to improve your score, this guide covers everything you need to know.

How to Check Your RSOS Result Online
When the result is published, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open your browser and go to rsos.rajasthan.gov.in or rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in
Step 2: On the homepage, look for the link: “RSOS Class 10 Result 2026” or “RSOS Class 12 Result 2026”
Step 3: Click the result link. A new page opens asking for your details.
Step 4: Enter your Roll Number exactly as printed on your Admit Card.
Step 5: Enter your Date of Birth in the DD/MM/YYYY format.
Step 6: Click the “Submit” or “View Result” button.
Step 7: Your result appears on screen. Take a screenshot and download the PDF immediately.
Step 8: Print a hard copy and keep it safe until your original marksheet arrives.
Tip: RSOS results are also accessible via SMS. Send your roll number to the official RSOS SMS service (announced at result time). This is useful when the website is slow due to high traffic.
Understanding Result Symbols and Marksheet Codes
This is one of the most confusing parts for students. Here’s a clear breakdown of what each symbol means on your RSOS marksheet:
| Symbol / Code | Full Form | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P | Pass | You passed this subject |
| F | Fail | You did not pass this subject |
| A | Absent | You were absent during the exam |
| E | Exempted | Subject exempted based on your category or previous attempt |
| UFM | Use of Unfair Means | Malpractice detected; result withheld |
| RL | Result Later | Result is withheld pending investigation |
| W | Withheld | Result withheld for administrative/document reasons |
| XX | Not Applicable | Subject not applicable for this student |
| Pass (Comp) | Pass with Compartment | Passed overall but failed in one subject; can sit supplementary |
| Grace | Grace Marks Applied | Grace marks were added to help you pass |
What Does “Pass with Compartment” Mean?
If you see Pass (Comp) on your marksheet, it means you passed the overall exam but failed in one subject. You are eligible to appear in the supplementary/compartment exam without losing a full year. This is different from a full fail.
What is Grace Marking?
RSOS (like RBSE) applies a grace marks policy where students who are very close to passing may be awarded 1–2 additional marks per subject to help them pass. This does not affect the official validity of your certificate.
What to Do After Your Result is Declared
If You Passed
- Wait for your original marksheet to arrive by post or collect from your study centre
- Verify all personal details (name, father’s name, DOB) on the certificate
- Apply for higher education admission using this marksheet — it is fully valid for university admissions, government job applications, and competitive exams
If You Failed or Got Compartment
- Note the subjects you failed
- Apply for re-evaluation within 15–20 days if you believe your marks are incorrect
- Register for the Supplementary Exam 2026 (usually held in September–October)
- Continue studying — you retain credits for subjects already passed
Re-evaluation Process
- Log in at the RSOS portal
- Submit the re-evaluation application form
- Pay the re-evaluation fee (usually ₹100–₹150 per subject)
- Results for re-evaluation take 30–45 days
Common Mistakes Students Make
Avoid these errors that trip up many RSOS candidates every year:
- Wrong roll number entry when checking results — always double-check your admit card
- Not downloading the result PDF — websites can go down after peak traffic
- Missing the re-evaluation deadline — it’s typically only 15 days after result
- Ignoring “RL” or “UFM” status — these require you to personally contact RSOS office
- Assuming compartment means full fail — it doesn’t; you only need to clear that one subject
- Not updating contact details — RSOS sends marksheets by post; wrong address = lost certificate
Tips to Prepare for RSOS Exams
Even if you’re already waiting for your 2026 result, these tips are useful for the supplementary exam or your next attempt:
- Get the official RSOS study material — it’s available free on the RSOS website and covers the exact syllabus
- Focus on previous year question papers — RSOS follows predictable paper patterns
- Attempt all questions — there is no negative marking in RSOS
- Practice writing within time limits — especially for language and essay-based subjects
- Join a study centre — RSOS has authorized study centres across Rajasthan that offer guidance
- Use the RSOS mobile app if available — for notifications, study material, and result alerts
