- Document Verification: Candidates who qualify the written examination are called for verification of original educational, category, and identity documents.

(Candidates should refer to the detailed exam pattern — subjects, marks, duration, and negative marking policy — provided in the official Regular and Backlog brochures, as JSSC’s teacher recruitment exams typically test General Studies, Reasoning, Teaching Aptitude, and subject-specific knowledge relevant to the post applied for.)
