Applicants must visit the JKSSB portal and use the "Log-in (Apply on Various Posts)" option to begin the registration process.

Registration Process

Candidates who are applying must first register themselves on the portal by selecting the "New User/Sign Up" option. During registration, applicants are required to provide a valid mobile number and email address.

The registration process includes OTP-based verification. If the activation code does not work, candidates can request a fresh activation code through the portal. JKSSB has also advised applicants to use the username generated during registration instead of using their email ID while logging into the system.

Completion of One-Time Registration

After successfully creating login credentials, candidates must complete their One-Time Registration (OTR) profile.

Once the OTR process is completed, applicants should visit the "Active Advertisement" section, choose the relevant notification, and click on "Apply" to proceed with the online application form.

Fill the Application Carefully

The Board has advised candidates to enter all required information carefully before submitting the application.

According to the notice, once the application form is finally submitted, no modifications or corrections will be permitted. The information entered by the applicant will be treated as final while determining eligibility and other claims.

Candidates are also responsible for ensuring that claims relating to reserved categories, weightage, or other benefits are correctly filled in the application form and supported by valid certificates issued before the prescribed cut-off date.

Documents to be Uploaded

Applicants are required to upload several documents while completing the online application.

These include:

• Live photograph captured through the online system.

JKSSB has specified the maximum file size for various documents and advised candidates to ensure that all uploaded documents meet the prescribed technical requirements.

Application Fee Payment

The Board has stated that an application will be treated as incomplete unless the prescribed fee is successfully paid online.

After submitting the application form, candidates will receive a "Pay Now" option on their dashboard.

Payment can be made using:

• Net Banking

• Debit Card

Applicants should verify that the payment status changes to "Submitted" after completing the transaction. JKSSB has also advised candidates to include the payee name and account number while submitting any payment-related representation to the department.

No Hard Copy Required

JKSSB has clarified that candidates are not required to submit a printed copy of the online application after completing the registration process.

However, shortlisted candidates will have to produce the printed application form and supporting documents during the Document Verification (DV) stage.

The notice further states that in-service candidates must submit the printed application form along with the required certificate through the proper official channel.

Preference for Certain Posts

The Board has advised candidates to indicate their preferences for the following posts while submitting their application:

• Draftsman (Civil) – Item Nos. 93 and 94

Applicants have been instructed to carefully select their preferences against the corresponding item numbers mentioned in the advertisement.

Submit Applications Before the Deadline

JKSSB has advised candidates not to wait until the last date for submitting their applications.

According to the notice, heavy traffic on the portal near the closing date may result in login issues or other technical difficulties. Candidates are therefore encouraged to complete the application and payment process well before the deadline.

Helpdesk for Queries

Candidates facing issues related to the online application process may submit their queries through the official grievance email provided by JKSSB.

Assistance is also available through JKSSB landline numbers for Jammu and Srinagar as well as the NIC helpdesk mentioned in the notice.
