Online Application & Screening
Candidates submit online applications at jssc.jharkhand.gov.in from 20 July to 19 August 2026. A correction window is available from 21 to 23 August 2026. Applications are screened for eligibility based on declared qualification, age, category, and post preferences.
Preliminary Examination (Conditional)
Conducted only if total applications exceed 50,000. A single-paper exam of 120 MCQs, 360 marks, 2 hours covering General Knowledge, Jharkhand GK, Science, Mathematics, and Reasoning. Negative marking of 1 mark per wrong answer. Based on Prelim scores, candidates equal to 15× category-wise vacancies are shortlisted for the Main Exam. If applications are below 50,000, JSSC may conduct the Main Exam directly.
Main Examination — 3 Papers (Merit-determining)
Three papers, each of 2 hours duration, with 3 marks per correct answer and −1 for wrong answers. Paper 1 (Language) is qualifying only (30% minimum). Paper 2 (General Knowledge / Jharkhand GK) and Paper 3 (Post-specific Subject) are counted for final merit. Normalisation is applied if exam is held in multiple shifts.
Merit List Preparation
A category-wise and post-wise merit list is prepared based on Paper 2 + Paper 3 normalised marks of the Main Exam. Candidates above the category-wise cut-off are called for document verification. In case of tie in marks, tie-breaking criteria as per JSSC rules apply.
Document Verification (DV)
Shortlisted candidates must produce original documents — educational certificates, category certificates, domicile/residence proof, Jharkhand local candidate certificate (where applicable), and other relevant documents — for verification. Candidates failing DV are disqualified from the final selection.
Final Appointment
Candidates clearing DV are recommended for appointment to respective departments. Final joining orders and training schedules are issued by the concerned Jharkhand Government departments. The appointment is to regular (permanent) Group C posts.
