If you missed the JSSC Para Teacher 2026 application window in August, you get a second chance. The Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission has dropped the old 31.07.2026 to 30.08.2026 dates and opened a fresh one that runs from 29.09.2026 to 18.10.2026. The job is officially called Trained Assistant Acharya, or Sahayak Acharya — the same post most people know as Para Teacher — and the exam for it is coded JTAACCE-2026. Nothing about the posts or the eligibility has changed. Only the calendar has moved.
Four separate deadlines come out of this one notice, and they are spread over three weeks. Here is the order to deal with them.
If you have not applied yet, register now at the JSSC portal. Registration opened on 29.09.2026 and shuts at midnight on 18.10.2026.
If you applied during the original window in August, the notice does not say what happens to that form. Sign in to the portal with your existing login and check your status before creating a second registration.
Do not wait for the fee dates before registering. JSSC has not announced when the examination fee can be paid and will publish that in a notice of its own, so registration and payment are separate steps here.
Upload your photograph and signature by midnight on 22.10.2026. This is a later, separate deadline from registration, and a form without them is incomplete.
Keep 23 and 24 October free for corrections. In that window you can change almost any entry on your form, so use it to check your details once more.
Note: the correction window will not let you change four things — your name, date of birth, e-mail address and mobile number. Those are locked once you submit.
Photograph or signature rejected by the upload form?
You have until midnight on 22.10.2026 to get both files onto the JSSC form. Resize your photo and signature to the exact pixel size and file size the portal will accept, so a rejected upload does not cost you the deadline.
Getting your name, date of birth, e-mail address or mobile number wrong. The correction window cannot fix those four, so check them twice before you submit.
Assuming the photo upload closes with registration. Registration ends 18.10.2026, but the photograph and signature deadline is 22.10.2026 — two different dates.
Treating your application as finished before the fee is paid. Those dates have not been announced yet, so watch the JSSC website for the separate fee notice.
Reading midnight as the start of the day. Midnight on 18.10.2026 means the end of 18 October, so anything submitted on 19 October is late.
Trusting the old 31.07.2026 to 30.08.2026 dates still showing on some websites. Those have been replaced and no longer apply.
Leaving it to the last evening. Government portals slow down badly in the final two days, and there is no grace period once the clock passes midnight.
