About This Recruitment
Jammu & Kashmir Services Selection Board has notified recruitment for 518 posts under Advt. No. 08 of 2026. Applications are accepted online from 10 Sept 2026 to 09 Oct 2026. The prescribed qualification is Matriculation, Class 12 with a diploma, or a science degree, depending on the post, and the age limit is 18 to 40 years before category relaxation is applied. The vacancies are spread across 4 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.
Selection is made through Written or OMR examination, Merit list and Document verification. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹19,900 – ₹1,13,200 across Levels 2 to 6D. The place of posting is Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
The application fee is ₹600 for General and OBC. The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. Check the notification for whether a correction window is offered, because most fields cannot be amended once the form is submitted.
Read the official notification in full before you begin the form. Eligibility, fees and dates are revised through corrigenda more often than candidates expect, and an application submitted against the wrong criteria is rejected at document verification rather than at submission — by which point the cycle is over.
