JKPSC Important Instructions for Candidates for Written Exam
The Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission has issued a notice regarding objective-type written examinations scheduled on 18 April 2026 (Saturday) for various posts.
The posts include Assistant Professor (Fine Arts, Music & Languages), Assistant Architect, and Assistant Professor (Fine Arts in Architecture). The exams will be conducted in different sessions — some in the morning from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and others in the afternoon between 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM / 5:00 PM.
Admit cards will be available from 13 April 2026 on the official JKPSC website. Candidates must log in using their credentials, download, and print their admit card. If someone is unable to download it, they must contact the Commission at least two days before the exam with proof of application and fee payment.
Candidates are advised to download the admit card early to avoid last-minute issues due to heavy website traffic. All candidates appearing in the exam will be treated as provisional, and if any false information or fraud is found, their candidature will be cancelled.
Important Instructions for Candidates
Candidates must reach the exam center well before time — around 1.5 hours earlier for morning sessions (by 8:30 AM) and 1 hour earlier for afternoon sessions (by 1:00 PM). Entry will be closed 30 minutes before the exam, and candidates must be seated at least 20 minutes before the start.
It is mandatory to carry the admit card along with a valid ID proof such as Aadhaar, PAN, Driving License, or Passport. Candidates should carefully check their admit card and report any errors immediately.
No electronic items like mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators, Bluetooth devices, or any unauthorized material are allowed inside the exam hall. If found, the candidate will be disqualified.
Candidates must bring their own blue/black ball pen, transparent pouch, and transparent board. They are not allowed to leave the exam hall before the exam ends.
Exam Pattern & Marking
The exam will be multiple-choice (MCQ) type with four options (A, B, C, D). Candidates must darken the correct option on the OMR sheet using a blue or black pen.
There is negative marking — 0.25 marks will be deducted for each wrong answer. If more than one option is marked, it will be treated as wrong. No marks will be deducted for unanswered questions.
Other Important Points
Candidates must make their own arrangements for travel and stay, as no TA/DA will be provided.
If any discrepancy is found in the question paper, candidates can submit a written complaint within 3 days after the exam.
Candidates are also advised to check traffic and weather updates before leaving for the exam to avoid inconvenience.
