JKSSB Final Selection List 2026: Constables in J&K Police & Telecom Wing Release

Introduction

The long wait is finally over. The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board JKSSB Final Selection List 2026 lists of constables for the J&K Police (Home Department) and the Telecommunication Wing on February 20, 2026. Thousands of aspirants who sweated through written exams, physical tests, and document verification rounds can now breathe — or celebrate.

This is not a small deal. This recruitment drive under Notification No. 01 of 2024 is one of the largest police constable recruitments in J&K’s recent history, covering over 3,980 posts across multiple wings and cadres.

What Did JKSSB Announce?

JKSSB released two separate final selection lists on February 20, 2026:

1. Final Selection List for 3,478 posts of Constables in J&K Police, Home Department — advertised under Notification No. 01 of 2024, dated July 16, 2024, under Item Nos. 1, 2, 5 & 6.
2. Final Selection List for 502 posts of Constable (Telecommunication) in J&K Police, Home Department — under the same notification, Item No. 03.

Together, these two lists cover a total of 3,980 constable positions across J&K.

Recruitment Timeline at a Glance

Here is a complete timeline of how this recruitment process unfolded:

Post-Wise Vacancy Breakdown

The 3,478 constable posts are spread across different wings of J&K Police. Here is how the vacancies are distributed:

The allocation of candidates to specific cadres — Armed/IRP, SDRF, or Executive wing — was done strictly on merit-cum-preference basis. So if you scored well and marked the Armed wing as your first preference, the numbers worked in your favour — or against. That’s the system, and it is fair.

How Was the Selection Done? JKSSB Final Selection List 2026

The selection process followed a clear, multi-stage structure. JKSSB conducted a written examination worth 100 marks and 100 questions. Only candidates who cleared the written test qualified for the Physical Standard Test (PST) and Physical Endurance Test (PET).

After clearing the physical tests, candidates were called for document verification at JKSSB offices in Jammu and Srinagar. The final list is built on merit secured in the written exam, physical qualification, and clean document verification.

The top scorer in the written exam was Mohd Mustafa, who secured 91.25 marks out of 100 — a genuinely impressive score in a highly competitive exam.

What Is the Difference Between “Provisional” and “Final” List?

Good question — and one that confused a lot of candidates earlier.

The Provisional Selection List was released on December 5, 2025. That list carried a note: it was subject to the outcome of pending court cases (OAs or Writ Petitions) and objections from aggrieved candidates.

JKSSB had given a 15-day window after December 5, 2025, for candidates to raise objections via email at selection.jkssb@jk.gov.in, providing their name, address, roll number, and contact details.

The Final Selection List released on February 20, 2026 comes after all those objections were examined, legal positions were reviewed, and the Board was satisfied with the merit list. This is the list that counts. Names on this list will move to the appointment stage.

That said — even the final list does not guarantee automatic appointment. Candidates still go through document verification for appointment purposes, and any discrepancy can lead to cancellation of candidature.

Salary and Pay Scale

Selected constables in J&K Police will be placed at Pay Level 2, with an initial basic salary of ₹19,900 per month, with a pay scale going up to ₹63,200. This is in addition to other government allowances applicable to J&K UT government employees.
