Overview
The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) has issued the 2026 examination calendar for posts under the Health and Medical Education Department. The calendar provides candidates with a post-wise framework for the upcoming written examinations and related admit card updates. The calendar does not specify a consolidated vacancy count; candidates should check the relevant recruitment advertisement for post-wise vacancies.

Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility conditions vary because the calendar covers multiple posts in the Health and Medical Education Department. The criteria given in the original post-wise advertisement will remain final.
Educational Qualification
- Applicants must possess the qualification prescribed for the post for which they submitted an application.
- Depending on the position, the requirement may include Class 12, diploma, graduation, technical certification or a relevant professional degree from a recognised institution.
- Technical and paramedical posts may require registration with the appropriate council or statutory authority.
- Candidates awaiting final results as of the cut-off date are eligible only if permitted by the relevant advertisement.
- Documentary proof of qualification, registration and experience, where applicable, must be produced during verification.
Age Limit
- The minimum and maximum age limits will be governed by the concerned recruitment advertisement.
- Age will be calculated on the cut-off date notified by JKSSB for the relevant post.
- Relaxation in the upper age limit may apply to reserved categories, persons with disabilities, ex-servicemen and other eligible groups under Jammu and Kashmir government rules.
- Candidates should verify that their date of birth matches the details entered in the online application.
Fees
- No separate fee is generally required to view the examination calendar or download an admit card.
- The application fee, if applicable, is the amount prescribed in the original recruitment notification.
- Fees already paid during the application process are normally non-refundable, subject to the conditions stated by the board.
Selection Process
The selection method can differ by post, but the recruitment process is expected to include the following stages:
- Written Examination: Eligible candidates will appear in an objective or prescribed-format test covering the notified syllabus.
- Skill Test/Document Verification: A skill or technical test may be held for designated posts, followed by verification of educational, category and professional documents.
- Final Merit and Appointment Formalities: The final merit list will be prepared under the notified selection criteria, followed by medical examination or other departmental formalities where required.
Candidates must qualify at each applicable stage. Mere participation in the written examination does not guarantee inclusion in the final selection list.
How to Apply
As the examination calendar concerns previously advertised posts, candidates should first confirm whether an application has already been submitted. If JKSSB opens a fresh or post-specific application window, the following steps will apply:
- Visit the official JKSSB website at jkssb.nic.in.
- Open the recruitment or online application section and select the relevant Health and Medical Education Department advertisement.
- Read the notification carefully, including qualification, age, domicile, category and technical-registration requirements.
- Complete registration using an active email address and mobile number. Existing users should log in with their credentials.
- Enter personal, educational and communication details exactly as shown on official certificates.
- Upload the required photograph, signature and supporting documents in the prescribed format and file size.
- Pay the applicable examination fee online, if required, and submit the form before the deadline.
- Download the confirmation page and keep a printed copy of the application and fee receipt.
- When released, download the admit card and verify the name, roll number, exam centre, date, shift and reporting instructions.

FAQs
1. Has JKSSB announced a common exam date for all Health Department posts?
No. Candidates must check the calendar against their post name and advertisement number, as examinations may be scheduled separately.
2. When will the JKSSB admit card be released?
The admit card schedule will be announced separately on the official website. Candidates should regularly check the portal for a post-wise download notice.
3. Does the exam calendar reopen the application process?
No. An examination calendar only communicates the proposed test schedule. Applications will reopen only if JKSSB issues a separate recruitment or extension notice.
