What This Means for You
If you have already submitted your online application and generated an application number, this notice changes nothing for you and no action is needed. If you had not applied yet, you now have until 24.09.2026 to complete the process:
- Open the JKSSB online application portal and sign up as a new user, or log in with your existing username and password.
- Confirm you fall under SRO 412 of 2009 (Migrant) or SRO 425 of 2017 (Kashmiri Pandit) and that your domicile and category certificates are dated on or before 24.09.2026.
- Fill the application form for the DMRRR Divisional Cadre post you are eligible for, and upload your photograph and signature in the exact size the portal demands.
- Pay the fee of Rs. 600/- (Rs. 500/- for SC, ST-1, ST-2, EWS and PwBD) online by Net Banking, Credit card or Debit card.
- Review every entry carefully, submit the form before 24.09.2026 and save the application number and fee receipt.
Note: JKSSB advises candidates to submit applications well before the closing date rather than waiting until the last day, to avoid disconnection or failure to log in when the website is under heavy load. Once the form is submitted and an application number is generated, no claim for changing any entry or field will be entertained at any later stage.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not assume the extension changes anything besides the closing date — the age reckoning date stays 01.01.2026, and the fee, qualification and selection process are untouched.
- Do not wait until 24.09.2026 to apply; JKSSB specifically warns that the portal comes under heavy load in the closing days and a failed login on the last day leaves no remedy.
- Do not submit the form until every entry has been checked — once an application number is generated, JKSSB will not entertain any request to correct a field at any later stage.
- Do not apply if you are not covered by SRO 412 of 2009 or SRO 425 of 2017; these posts are reserved for Kashmiri Migrants and Non-Migrant Kashmiri Pandits only, and no other candidate is eligible.
- Do not use a domicile or category certificate issued after 24.09.2026 — the certificate must be dated on or before the revised cut-off date to be accepted.
- Do not pay the fee by any offline mode; only Net Banking, Credit card and Debit card payments are accepted, and the fee is not refundable.
