JKSSB Releases New Exam Schedule for Health & Medical Education and Other Department Posts
The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board has issued a fresh notice rescheduling the OMR based written examinations for several posts under the Health & Medical Education Department, along with an advance schedule for a few posts from other departments. This notice, dated 31 July 2026, replaces all earlier notifications on the subject, so if you had noted down dates from a previous JKSSB circular for these posts, you should go by this new schedule instead.
The Board has released a detailed timetable, called Annexure A, listing exam dates for fifteen different posts spread across September, October and November 2026. Below, we have broken down the full schedule along with what you need to know about admit cards and what to do next.
Why This Notice Matters
If you are one of the candidates who applied for any of these posts, this notice tells you exactly when your OMR based written exam will be held. Since JKSSB has clearly stated that this supersedes previous notifications, the dates given here are the ones that count now.

You will notice that two posts, BCG Technician and Para Medical Assistant, share the same exam date of 10 September 2026, which is common when JKSSB conducts multiple exams over a single weekend or weekday.
If you want to check which notification your post falls under, most of these posts belong to Notification No. 07 of 2025. The Driver post is linked to Notification No. 04 of 2025, 07 of 2025 and 09 of 2025, while Accounts Assistant falls under Notification No. 10 of 2025. The item numbers for each post are also mentioned in the official Annexure, so you can cross check your own application against them.
When Will You Get Your Admit Card
According to the notice, admit cards will be issued seven days before the date of your examination. So if your exam is on 6 September 2026, you can expect your admit card around 30 August 2026. JKSSB has not mentioned the exact platform or process for downloading the admit card in this notice, so keep checking the official website closer to your exam date.
What You Should Do Next
JKSSB has asked all candidates to regularly visit the official website, www.jkssb.nic.in, for updates. Since this notice itself supersedes earlier ones, it is worth checking the website again before your exam in case the Board issues any further clarification or a minor correction.
A few practical things worth doing right away: note down the exact date of your post from the table above, mark it on your calendar, and keep revisiting the JKSSB website as your exam approaches so you do not miss the admit card release.
About the Notice
The notice carries reference number JKSSB COEOEXAM/10/2022-04 (7055504) and is signed by Reyaz Ahmed Malik (JKAS), Controller of Examinations, J&K Services Selection Board.
