Whether your post is titled “Junior Stenographer” or “Junior Scale Stenographer” depends on the department you applied under, so it’s worth locating your exact item number below rather than assuming based on department alone.
| S.No | Item No. | Department | Name of the Post |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 180 | Agriculture Production Department | Junior Stenographer |
| 2 | 181 | Agriculture Production Department | Junior Stenographer |

How to Download Your Admit Card
Since JKSSB does not send admit cards by post, downloading it yourself from the official website is the only way to get one. Here’s the exact stepwise procedure given in the notice:
- Visit the official JKSSB website: www.jkssb.nic.in
- On the homepage, look for the link to download the E-Admit Card.
- Click on the “Download Admit Card” link.
- Log in using your Username and Password.
- Download and print your JKSSB Admit Card.
- Bring a clear printed copy of the E-Admit Card on the day of the Shorthand Skill Test; this is mandatory for entry.
Admit cards become available for download from 29.08.2026, using your registered credentials.
If You’re Unable to Download Your Admit Card
The notice specifically addresses this scenario, and the process it lays out is fairly strict: if you can’t download your admit card, you must personally represent before the Board at least two days before the examination date, carrying valid proof that you filled the online application form and paid the online fee.
If you don’t do this, it will be presumed that you are not interested in appearing for the examination, and no claim on this account will be entertained afterward. In other words, waiting until the last moment or assuming the issue will resolve itself is not an option JKSSB is willing to accommodate here.
Important Instructions for Candidates
A few points from the notice are worth taking seriously, since they carry consequences beyond just admission to the test:
- Print your admit card well in advance to avoid a last-minute rush; this is explicitly advised rather than left implicit.
- Candidates who claim eligibility through misrepresentation, concealment of material facts, impersonation, or fraud will have their candidature cancelled and may face disciplinary action, as deemed appropriate.
- The Board reserves the right to cancel the candidature of any candidate at any stage at which they are found ineligible, even after the admit card has been issued or the test taken.
- Stay in touch with the official JKSSB website for the latest updates, since admit cards and notices are only published there and not communicated individually by post.
