Likely eligible candidates hold a three-year Diploma or a Degree in Civil Engineering, or AMIE Section A and B. Applications close on 29 December 2026. Start your online form well before the deadline, because the portal may slow down near the last days.
Who Should Apply for JKSSB Junior Engineer Civil 2026
This suits diploma holders and degree holders in Civil Engineering or AMIE Section A and B who are Domiciles of Jammu and Kashmir. Candidates with other engineering branches should check the notice before assuming they qualify.

Watch Out Before You Apply
- Keep a printout of your submitted online form, because you must bring it to Document Verification.
- Your Domicile Certificate must be valid on or before 29.12.2026, so check its validity date now.
