JKSSB Postpones BCG Technician & Para Medical Assistant Written Exams; New Date Announced

The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) has announced the postponement of the OMR-based written examinations for the posts of BCG Technician and Para Medical Assistant in the Health & Medical Education Department. The revised schedule has been issued through an official notice dated July 21, 2026.

According to the notification, the examinations, which were originally scheduled for July 22, 2026, have now been rescheduled and will instead be conducted on July 29, 2026 (Wednesday). The Board has clarified that only the examination date has changed, while all other arrangements will remain unchanged.

Earlier Examination Date Revised

The affected examinations were notified under Advertisement Notification No. 07 of 2025. Initially, candidates were scheduled to appear for the examinations on July 22, 2026, in two separate shifts.

As per the revised schedule:

• New Examination Date: July 29, 2026 (Wednesday)

• Shift I: 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM

JKSSB has stated that the timings and examination venues will remain the same despite the postponement. Candidates are therefore required to report to their allotted centres according to the previously assigned schedule, with only the examination date changing.

Admit Cards Already Issued Will Continue to Be Valid

The Board has also informed candidates that the admit cards issued earlier will remain valid for the examinations on the revised date of July 29, 2026.
