JKSSB Class-IV Recruitment 2026: 2,863 MTS and Sanitation Worker Posts, Apply by 27 November

JKSSB Class-IV Recruitment 2026 has opened 2,863 posts for Multi-Tasking Staff and Sanitation Workers in Jammu and Kashmir, and the application window is open now. The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board issued Advertisement 09/2026 on 1 September 2026, and applications can be submitted online from 14 October to 27 November 2026. Of the 2,863 posts, 2,697 are for Multi-Tasking Staff and 166 are for Sanitation Workers. Only candidates who hold domicile of Jammu and Kashmir can apply. Selection is through a written examination, followed by document verification and a merit list. The rule every candidate must read first is the upper qualification limit: the maximum qualification for both posts is 10+2, so a candidate who has studied above 10+2 is not eligible, even if every other condition is met.

JKSSB Class-IV Recruitment 2026: what it offers

The 2,863 posts are Class-IV support posts in government departments in Jammu and Kashmir, and the recruitment is one of the largest Class-IV drives in the Union Territory this year. Multi-Tasking Staff form the larger share, with 2,697 posts, and Sanitation Workers account for the remaining 166. The application window was first set to close on 12 November 2026, and a notice dated 11 November 2026 extended it to 27 November 2026, so candidates who missed the first deadline still have time to apply.

One point about the extension needs care. The 11 November notice extends the application date to 27 November, but it does not separately specify a revised fee-payment deadline. An earlier corrigendum dated 1 October 2026 set the fee-payment deadline at 11.59 pm on 12 November 2026. This article therefore does not claim that the fee can be paid until 27 November. Candidates should pay the fee as early as possible and check the official JKSSB notice for any revised fee-payment date before they rely on the extended application date.

The fee is Rs 600 for General, OM, OBC, RBA and ALC-IB candidates, and Rs 500 for SC, ST-1, ST-2, EWS and PwBD candidates. It is paid online only and it is non-refundable, so a candidate should confirm eligibility before paying. The selection is a written OMR examination, followed by document verification and a merit list. There is no interview mentioned in the sources used for this article.

Who can apply

Only candidates who hold domicile of Jammu and Kashmir can apply for these posts. For Multi-Tasking Staff the minimum qualification is a 10th pass, and for Sanitation Worker it is an 8th pass. For both posts the maximum qualification is 10+2. That upper limit is the decisive rule in this recruitment: a candidate who has passed a degree or any course above 10+2 is not eligible, even if the minimum qualification is met. Candidates should check their highest qualification against that limit before they apply or pay the fee.

The age limit is counted as on 1 January 2026. The minimum age is 18 years. The maximum age is 40 years for the Open Merit category, 43 years for SC, ST-1, ST-2, RBA, ALC-IB, EWS and OBC candidates, and 42 years for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities. Candidates claiming a relaxation should have the relevant category certificate ready for document verification.

How to apply

Applications for the JKSSB Class-IV Recruitment 2026 can be submitted only online, through the JKSSB portal. The window opened on 14 October 2026 and closes on 27 November 2026. Candidates should not wait until the last evening to apply. Government recruitment portals often slow down under heavy traffic on the final day, and a form that is left half finished when the window closes cannot be submitted later. Apply several days early, keep a copy of the submitted form and any acknowledgement number, and check the registered email address and mobile number for messages after submission.

Before starting the form, candidates should gather their documents: the domicile certificate, the 10th or 8th pass certificate and mark sheet, the date of birth certificate, and the caste or disability certificate if a relaxation is claimed. They should fill in their name, date of birth and qualification details exactly as they appear in their certificates, and should check the mobile number and email address they enter, because those are the channels for information about the examination and document verification. After submitting the form, candidates should save the acknowledgement and keep checking the official JKSSB website for updates.

What the notification does not say

There are several points on which the sources used for this article do not give an answer, and candidates should know about them rather than guessing. The first is the pay scale for the two posts, which is not stated in the sources used here. The second is the date of the written examination, which has not been announced in the sources used here. The third is the department-wise or district-wise distribution of the 2,863 posts, which is not set out in the summary used here. The fourth is the revised fee-payment deadline after the extension of the application date, as explained above: the 11 November notice extends the application date to 27 November but does not separately specify a new fee-payment date, and the earlier corrigendum set fee payment by 12 November at 11.59 pm. Candidates should check the official JKSSB notice on that point before they rely on the extended date.

Do not pay anyone to apply

Never pay anyone to apply for this recruitment, and never pay anyone who promises to get you selected. No agent, no middleman and no person on social media can arrange a post in this recruitment, and anyone who asks for money in exchange for a job is running a fraud. The selection is through a written examination and document verification, and it is carried out by the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board. The only place to apply is the official JKSSB portal, and the only fee that can ever be payable is the one shown on the official portal itself. If someone asks for money for a form, an exam place or a posting, refuse and report it to the police or to the recruiting body.

The 11 November extension notice extends the application date to 27 November 2026 but does not separately specify a revised fee-payment deadline, and the 1 October corrigendum set fee payment by 12 November 2026 at 11.59 pm, so this article does not claim the fee can be paid until 27 November. The pay scale is not stated in the sources used, so no pay figure has been given in this article.
