Selection Stages

The selection process for the Junior Staff Nurse and Junior Male Nurse posts is primarily based on the performance in the OMR-based written examination. Following the exam, the board releases a provisional answer key to allow candidates to verify their responses and raise any valid objections.

Once the objection period concludes, subject experts from the JKSSB review all challenges. If an objection is found to be valid, the board may revise the answer key or cancel the specific question, ensuring that marks are awarded fairly to all candidates. The final answer key is then published, which serves as the definitive basis for calculating the final scores and preparing the merit list for subsequent selection stages.
