# Rajasthan changes sanitation staff recruitment rules, 24,752 posts 2026-10-06T19:51:34+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Rajasthan’s autonomous governance department has changed the rules for the recruitment of 24,752 contractual sanitation workers. After a decision by the Jodhpur High Court on Tuesday (6 October), applicants can now apply without an experience certificate. The court was hearing three writ petitions. The department clarified that online applications will not require experience certificates. The last date to apply has been extended from 28 September to 13 October. The change opens the recruitment to any eligible person in the state who lacked an experience certificate. The recruitment is for 183 urban local bodies across the state. Candidates must apply online through the department’s website by 13 October. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Jodhpur High Court’s decision removes a key barrier for thousands of applicants who could not produce an experience certificate. The extended deadline to 13 October gives candidates more time to apply. The change broadens the applicant pool but may increase competition. The next step is the online application window closing on 13 October. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Reports the rule change and court decision without editorial comment.
