The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) has announced the rescheduling of the Type Test (Skill Test) for the post of Junior Assistant that was scheduled to be conducted on July 27, July 28 and July 29, 2026.
According to the official notice issued by JKSSB on July 25, 2026, the examination dates have been revised due to inclement weather conditions. Candidates scheduled to appear at NIELIT Jammu and NIELIT Srinagar should carefully check the revised dates, as the changes are different for the two examination centres.

Why Has the JKSSB Junior Assistant Type Test Been Rescheduled?
As stated in the official notification, the JKSSB Junior Assistant Type Test 2026 has been rescheduled because of inclement weather conditions.
The notice has been issued in continuation of Office Notice No. JKSSB-COEOEXAM/UT/01/2026-03 (7827645), dated July 23, 2026.
Candidates who were preparing to travel to their respective examination centres on the original dates should therefore follow the revised schedule and avoid any confusion regarding the examination date.
Previously Issued Admit Cards Will Remain Valid
One of the most important clarifications in the latest JKSSB notice concerns the admit cards.
The Board has clearly stated that admit cards already issued to candidates will remain valid for the rescheduled dates of examination.
Therefore, candidates do not need to wait for a fresh admit card merely because their examination date has changed.
JKSSB has further instructed candidates to appear at the same examination centre and at the same reporting time as mentioned on their existing admit cards.
Candidates should keep their admit cards safely and carry them to the examination centre on their respective revised examination date.
What Should Candidates Do Now?
Candidates appearing for the Junior Assistant Type Test should first confirm whether their examination centre is NIELIT Jammu or NIELIT Srinagar and then match their original examination date with the corresponding revised date.
They should also keep checking official JKSSB notices for any further instructions or changes. Candidates are advised not to rely solely on unverified social media posts, particularly when it comes to examination dates, reporting times or examination centres.
The reporting time and examination centre remain the same as mentioned on the admit card; only the dates specified in the latest notification have been revised.
Important Instructions for Candidates
Candidates appearing in the rescheduled Type Test should keep the following points in mind:
- Check the revised examination date according to your original date and centre.
- Previously issued admit cards will remain valid.
- Report to the same examination centre mentioned on your admit card.
- Follow the same reporting time printed on the admit card.
- Carry the required documents and identification on the examination day.
- Keep checking official JKSSB communications in case any additional instructions are issued.
