Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board Issues Important Notifications on Clubbing of Admit Cards and Driving Test Schedule for Driver Posts

0

The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) has released two crucial notifications concerning candidates appearing for the Driver/Driver-II/Driver Grade-II recruitment examinations advertised under multiple notifications of 2025. These updates relate to the clubbing of admit cards and the schedule of driving tests starting from February 9, 2026.

Candidates who have applied for Driver-related posts across different advertisements are strongly advised to read these notifications carefully, as they contain important instructions regarding the examination process and test schedules.


Overview of JKSSB Driver Recruitment 2025–26

The JKSSB has been conducting recruitment for various Driver posts across departments in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The posts include:

  • Driver
  • Driver-II
  • Driver Grade-II

These vacancies were advertised under Notification No. 04 of 2025, Notification No. 07 of 2025, and Notification No. 09 of 2025, covering a wide range of item numbers. Due to overlapping eligibility and examination processes, the Board has now decided to club admit cards for candidates who applied under multiple notifications.


Notification on Clubbing of Admit Cards

What Does “Clubbing of Admit Cards” Mean?

Clubbing of admit cards means that eligible candidates who have applied for the same post under multiple advertisements will be issued a single admit card instead of multiple hall tickets. This move aims to streamline the examination process and avoid duplication.

Notifications Covered Under Admit Card Clubbing

According to the official notice, the clubbing applies to the following advertisements:

  • Notification No. 04 of 2025
    • Item No. 16
  • Notification No. 07 of 2025
    • Item Nos. 144, 145, 146, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162
  • Notification No. 09 of 2025
    • Item Nos. 255 to 270

Candidates who have applied under any of the above item numbers should note that only one admit card will be issued for the examination and subsequent selection stages.

Why This Is Important for Candidates

  • Prevents confusion caused by multiple admit cards
  • Ensures fair and transparent examination conduct
  • Saves candidates from appearing multiple times for the same test
  • Simplifies verification during the driving test and document verification stages

Candidates must download and carry the clubbed admit card along with valid photo identification on the day of examination or driving test.


Driving Test Schedule for Driver Posts

In a separate but equally important notification, JKSSB has informed candidates about the commencement of driving tests for Driver-related posts.

Driving Test Start Date

  • Driving tests will begin from February 9, 2026 (09.02.2026) onwards

The driving test is a mandatory stage in the selection process for Driver, Driver-II, and Driver Grade-II posts. Only candidates who qualify the written examination and fulfill eligibility conditions will be allowed to appear for this test.


Important Instructions for Driving Test Candidates

Candidates scheduled to appear in the driving test must strictly follow the instructions mentioned in the official notice. While the exact venue, date, and time for individual candidates will be mentioned separately, some general guidelines include:

  • Carry the original driving license relevant to the post applied for
  • Bring a printed copy of the admit card
  • Carry a valid photo identity proof (Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, etc.)
  • Report to the test venue well before the scheduled time
  • Follow all safety and verification protocols at the test center

Failure to produce required documents or late reporting may lead to disqualification.


Selection Process for JKSSB Driver Posts

The recruitment process for Driver/Driver-II/Driver Grade-II posts generally includes the following stages:

  1. Written Examination
  2. Driving Test
  3. Document Verification
  4. Final Merit List

Only those candidates who qualify each stage successfully will be considered for final selection.


What Candidates Should Do Next

To avoid missing any important update, candidates are advised to:

  • Regularly visit the official JKSSB website
  • Download and read the official notifications carefully
  • Keep checking for updates on admit card availability, driving test venue, and schedule
  • Ensure all documents are valid and up to date

Candidates appearing in the driving test should also ensure that they are physically prepared and familiar with vehicle handling as per departmental requirements.


Importance of Official Notifications

JKSSB notifications are legally binding and contain all instructions related to recruitment. Any information not mentioned in the official notice should be treated with caution. Candidates should rely only on official PDFs issued by JKSSB for accurate details.

The latest JKSSB notifications regarding the clubbing of admit cards and driving test schedule starting from February 9, 2026, mark an important phase in the Driver recruitment process. Candidates who have applied under multiple notifications must take note that a single admit card will be issued, and those eligible must prepare for the upcoming driving tests.

Staying updated and following official instructions carefully will help candidates navigate the selection process smoothly and avoid unnecessary complications.
