📌 Overview of the JKSSB Assistant Scientific Officer (Crime Scene) Exam

The Assistant Scientific Officer (Crime Scene) post under the Home Department is one of the most sought-after positions in the Jammu & Kashmir government’s scientific cadre. The role demands proficiency in forensic techniques, analytical skills, and expertise in handling crime scene investigations. Given the technical nature of the responsibilities, the written examination is designed to rigorously test candidates on both scientific knowledge and practical aptitude.

The examination held on 25th February 2026 was conducted in an OMR-based format, which means candidates marked their answers on OMR sheets — a traditional and reliable format for objective type question papers.

📊 Importance of the Provisional Answer Key

The Provisional Answer Key serves several important purposes:

✔️ Transparency in Evaluation

Publishing a provisional key ensures that the assessment process is transparent. Candidates can see exactly how JKSSB intends to evaluate the answers.

📝 Challenging the Provisional Answer Key

JKSSB allows candidates to challenge any answer in the provisional key that they believe to be incorrect. This is a standard part of the evaluation process and ensures that all legitimate objections are considered before the final key is released.

🧾 Steps to Submit an Objection

  1. Review the Provisional Answer Key thoroughly.
  2. Identify the specific question(s) you believe have incorrect answers.

This process ensures that the assessment is accurate and errors (if any) in the provisional key are corrected.

📌 Tips for Candidates After Downloading the Answer Key

📍 1. Use it for Accurate Self-Evaluation

Match your OMR responses with the provisional key to calculate your tentative score. Remember to apply the correct marking scheme (including negative marking, if applicable).

📍 2. Identify Weak Areas

While calculating your score, take note of the topics where you lost marks. This can help in future exam preparation or in understanding your strengths and weaknesses.

📍 3. Be Prompt with Objections

If you find any discrepancies, do not delay in submitting objections — stick to the deadline to ensure your voice is heard.

📍 4. Keep Documents Ready

If your objection involves referencing materials (books, research papers, online sources), keep them ready in printable format as you might need to upload or mention them during submission.

No Order Issued on TET, Clarifies J&K Education Minister Sakina Itoo

No Order issued by J&K Govt on TET, Clarifies Education Minister Sakina Itoo

Srinagar, Feb 25: Education Minister Sakina Itoo on Wednesday clarified that no fresh government order has been issued regarding the Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) in Jammu and Kashmir and said there is no immediate requirement to enforce it in the Union Territory.

Speaking to reporters, as per news agency Kashmir News Corner — KNC Minister Itoo said that although the Hon’ble Supreme Court had earlier directed that teachers across states and Union Territories must qualify the TET, the J&K government is closely examining how the directive is being implemented elsewhere before taking any step.

She said that after receiving the relevant case file, the government decided to first study the pattern, mechanism and practical implications of the examination in other states and UTs.

The Minister remarked that the idea of conducting such eligibility tests was not new and had earlier been envisioned during the tenure of late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, with steps initiated at that time by former Education Minister Naeem Akhtar through the RET examination framework.

However, Itoo said it would not be appropriate to rush implementation, especially when many teachers in J&K have rendered 25 to 35 years of service and have contributed significantly to society by educating generations of students who are now serving as doctors, engineers, IAS, KAS officers, professors and other professionals.

She maintained that any decision impacting such teachers must be taken after careful consideration of consequences and ground realities.

The Minister further stated that the Supreme Court has itself provided a two-year window in the matter and clarified that there is no urgency for immediate enforcement in J&K.

“If it is implemented across the country and further directions are received from the Hon’ble Supreme Court, we will review the matter accordingly. But as of now, there is no immediate enforcement,” she said.

Referring to reports circulating on social media, Itoo said confusion was being created regarding an order, but reiterated that no such order has been issued by the government for immediate implementation in Jammu and Kashmir.

She added that whenever the directive is uniformly enforced across India, J&K will take a considered call, but there is no immediate move to implement it. (KNC)

The Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) has officially announced the Result of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Judicial) Examination, 2025 along with the deployment of successful candidates for the Medical Examination stage. This crucial update comes after the completion of the Judicial Examination process, reflecting a key milestone in recruiting eligible candidates for the prestigious role of Civil Judge (Junior Division) in the Union Territory.

Candidates who appeared in various stages of the examination can now verify their status and preparedness for the next procedural requirement — the Medical Examination — which is essential before final appointment and deployment.

Overview of JKPSC Civil Services (Judicial) Examination 2025

The Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Judicial) Examination is conducted by the JKPSC to recruit talented law graduates into the subordinate judiciary of Jammu and Kashmir. The recruitment process involves multiple rigorous stages designed to assess candidates’ legal acumen, analytical skills, and judicial temperament.

The typical selection stages include:

  1. Preliminary Examination (Objective)
  2. Mains Examination (Descriptive)
  3. Interview / Personality Test
  4. Medical Examination (Final fitness evaluation before appointment)

Each phase tests different competencies — from fundamental legal principles to advanced reasoning and ethical evaluation — aligning with national judicial standards.

Final Result and Deployment for Medical Examination

The JKPSC, vide Notification No. 14-PSC (DR-S) of 2026 dated 24th February 2026, has declared the result of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Judicial) Examination 2025 and has issued the list of candidates who are now eligible to proceed to the Medical Examination stage.

  • The recruitment exercise was executed in a transparent and fair manner, following all statutory norms and procedures.

The Medical Examination is a mandatory stage for all selected candidates. It evaluates whether candidates are medically and physically fit to undertake the responsibilities of a Civil Judge (Junior Division). This evaluation is especially significant given the demanding nature of judicial duties.

Why the Medical Examination Matters

The Medical Examination is not just a formality — it is a vital part of the selection process. Judicial roles often involve:

  • Handling extensive case files and long working hours
  • Interacting with distressed litigants
  • Managing courtroom proceedings efficiently
  • Undertaking administrative and field duties, if required

Thus, ensuring candidates are physically and mentally fit is essential for the effective exercise of judicial responsibilities.
