JKPSC CCE Recruitment 2025 - 80 Junior Scale KAS, Police & Accounts Posts

The Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) is conducting the Combined Competitive (Main) Examination 2025 to fill 80 vacancies across three prestigious civil services of the Union Territory. If you cleared the JKPSC CCE Prelims 2025, this is your gateway to a rewarding career in J&K's administrative machinery with a pay scale of Rs. 47,600 to Rs. 1,51,100 per month.

• Total 80 posts spread across Open Merit (32), RBA (7), SC (7), ST-1 (9), ST-2 (9), LAC/IB (2), OBC (7), and EWS (7) categories
• Only J&K domicile holders who cleared the JKPSC CCE Preliminary Examination 2025 are eligible to apply for the Mains
• Bachelor's Degree in any subject from a recognized university is the minimum qualification required
• Age limit ranges from 32 to 35 years depending on your category, calculated as on 1st January 2025

The selection process follows the classic civil services pattern. First, candidates sit for the Written Main Examination consisting of 8 papers worth a total of 1,750 marks. This includes an English qualifying paper, an Essay paper, four General Studies papers, and two Optional Subject papers. Candidates who score above the cutoff in Mains are then called for a Personality Test (Interview) carrying 250 marks. Your final ranking is based on the combined Mains and Interview score out of 2,000 marks.

1. Pick your optional subject wisely -- it carries 500 marks (two papers of 250 each), which is a significant chunk of your total score. Choose a subject you genuinely enjoy studying
2. Focus on answer writing practice -- the Mains is entirely descriptive, so structured answers with clear introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions will score higher
3. Do not skip the Ethics paper (GS-IV) -- this paper often has the highest scoring potential if you practice case studies regularly
4. Revise current affairs specific to J&K -- questions on UT-specific governance, development schemes, and local issues are common in GS papers
