The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) has postponed the Junior Engineer (Civil) written exam 2025 due to prevailing weather conditions across the union territory. The board has not yet announced the new exam date.

The JKSSB JE Civil exam was earlier scheduled to be held on August 31 which was later extended to September 7. The board will announce the new exam dates for the JKSSB JE civil exam on the official website at jkssb.nic.in.

“The fresh date of the said examination shall be notified separately in due course of time. Candidates are advised to regularly visit the official Website of the Board for further updates,” the official notice said.

JKSSB JE electrical exam cancelled amid alleged paper leak

Earlier, the JKSSB had scheduled the JE exam for the electrical post on August 24, 2025, across 35 centres in Jammu and Srinagar. The exam, originally set to begin at 11 am, was delayed to 12:00 noon due to weather-related exigencies. While the test was conducted successfully at 34 centres, it could not be held at one venue.

Following reports and social media posts claiming the question paper had leaked online before the exam, the JKSSB announced the cancellation of the exam. Videos circulated on social media purportedly showed candidates outside the Kothi Bagh Higher Secondary School examination hall attempting to answer questions, further raising concerns about the integrity of the test.
