Selection Process

Your selection depends entirely on how you perform in the written/OMR examination. The exam is objective-type with multiple choice questions set in English language only. There is negative marking of 0.25 marks for every wrong answer, so accuracy matters more than speed. After clearing the written test, you will go through document verification where all your original certificates will be checked.

Preparation Tips for JKSSB Health Department Exam

1. Check the syllabus for your specific post on jkssb.nic.in -- each Item Number has a different subject focus
2. Master your technical subject -- Technician and Nursing posts will have domain-specific questions carrying the most weightage
3. Practice previous JKSSB papers -- they are available on the official website under Previous Question Papers section
4. Be careful with guessing -- with 0.25 negative marking, skipping a question you are unsure about is better than guessing wrong
5. Revise General Knowledge -- cover current affairs of the last 6 months, especially J&K-specific events
6. Take timed mock tests -- build the habit of answering under time pressure before the actual exam
