The Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) has issued an important Deficiency Notice related to the filling up of the post of Lecturer Commerce in the School Education Department. This notice is crucial for candidates who have been provisionally qualified for viva-voce but whose documents were found deficient during scrutiny.
As per the official notice, JKPSC has asked the listed candidates to submit the missing/deficient documents within a fixed timeline, failing which their candidature may be rejected without any further notice. Candidates preparing for JKPSC selections should treat such notices as high priority because document verification is a decisive step in final selection.
This article explains the complete details of the JKPSC deficiency notice, highlights key recruitment background, and shares what candidates must do next.
JKPSC Lecturer Commerce Recruitment: Background of the Notice
According to the official JKPSC notice dated 27.01.2026, the School Education Department referred 10 posts of Lecturer Commerce to JKPSC for selection. The category-wise breakup mentioned is:
- OM: 04
- RBA: 01
- SC: 01
- ST-1: 01
- ST-II: 01
- OBC: 01
- EWS: 01
These posts were advertised by JKPSC through Notification No. 07-PSC (DR-P) of 2024 dated 09.12.2024.
Following this, JKPSC conducted the written test on 05.10.2025. The result was later declared vide Notification No. PSC/Exam/S/2026/02 dated 16.01.2026, in which 43 candidates were declared provisionally qualified for the written examination and called for viva-voce.
However, after scrutiny of documents, JKPSC found some candidates deficient with respect to required documents.
(These details are clearly mentioned in the official notice on page 1 of the PDF.)
Why JKPSC Issues Deficiency Notices?
A deficiency notice is released when:
- a candidate has qualified a stage (like written test),
- but during verification, documents are missing, invalid, outdated, or not in the required format.
In JKPSC recruitments, documents such as:
- Date of Birth certificate (Matriculation),
- Category certificate (as per UT reservation rules),
- Domicile certificate signed by competent authority,
- PG degree/marks sheets,
- EWS certificate
are frequently checked. Even a small mismatch (wrong format, missing signature, unclear scan) can lead to a deficiency.
That is why candidates should always keep their documents ready well in advance.

The notice clearly states that if candidates fail to submit the required documents within the deadline, their candidature shall be rejected without any further notice.
Important Instructions for Candidates
If your name appears in the deficiency list, follow these steps immediately:
1) Download the official notice PDF
Always rely on the official notice to confirm what is missing.
2) Arrange the exact document as demanded
For example:
- If DOB certificate is required → submit Matriculation certificate
- If category certificate is required → ensure it is in UT format as per reservation rules
- Domicile certificate → must be properly signed by competent authority
- EWS certificate → must be valid
3) Visit JKPSC Office without delay
Do not wait for the last day because:
- Offices may be crowded
- Verification can take time
- You may need additional attestation/corrections
4) Keep extra photocopies
Carry multiple sets of photocopies and originals for safety.
5) Maintain proof of submission
Ask for acknowledgement/receipt if possible.
What Happens After Document Submission?
Once the deficient documents are submitted successfully:
- JKPSC will update the candidate’s document status
- Eligible candidates will continue in the selection process
- Viva-voce/interview may proceed as per schedule
Candidates should also keep checking JKPSC updates because interview schedules are often released after such deficiency notices.
Why This Notice Matters for Selection
Candidates often focus heavily on written exam performance, but in JKPSC recruitment, final selection depends on completing every requirement, including:
- eligibility conditions,
- correct certificates,
- valid domicile/reservation proof,
- educational qualification documents.
Even one missing document can lead to rejection, regardless of merit—this is why deficiency notices are taken seriously.
The JKPSC Deficiency Notice (Lecturer Commerce) dated 27 January 2026 is a vital update for candidates who have qualified the written test and are moving toward the viva-voce stage. If your name appears in the deficiency list, you must submit the required documents within 7 days to avoid rejection of candidature.
Candidates are advised to act quickly, submit documents at the JKPSC office as instructed, and regularly monitor the official portal for further updates.
