Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) Assistant Professor/Librarian (GCET) Backlog Recruitment 2026 - 6 Posts

JKPSC has released Notification No. 07-PSC(DR-P) of 2026 to fill 6 backlog vacancies (1st Special Drive) at the Government College of Engineering & Technology (GCET), covering Bio Medical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics, Electronics & Communication Engineering and Librarian posts. These are reserved-category backlog vacancies carried over from Notification No. 11-PSC(DR-P) of 2023. Only domicile holders of the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir can apply. GCET is the state's dedicated engineering college under the Higher Education Department, so these posts are a good fit if you want to teach at a specialized technical institution rather than a general degree college.
