JKSSB MTS Recruitment 2026 — 2,863 Class-IV Posts

JKSSB MTS Recruitment 2026 — 2,863 Class-IV Posts

The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) is accepting online applications for 2,863 Class-IV (MTS) and Sanitation Worker posts in various departments, under Notification No. 09 of 2026 dated 1 September 2026. The posts are spread across UT, Divisional (Jammu and Kashmir) and District cadres.

Last date — read the extension basis

The notification itself printed 3 November 2026 as the last date, and a corrigendum dated 1 October 2026 had revised the window to 14 October–12 November 2026. The last date was then extended to 27 November 2026 by an extension notice dated 11 November 2026 (ref. JKSSB-PLAN/6/2025-03 (E-7661495)). That extension notice PDF itself was not read directly from the official host — jkssb.nic.in is unreachable from our server and the mirror copy of the corrigendum would not open — so the 27 November 2026 date rests on unanimous secondary sources (FreeJobAlert's 11 November update and govtjobsalert.in, timesofkashmir.in, sarkarinetwork.com and logichubdx), all citing the official extension notice. Treat 27 November 2026 as the last date, and check the official JKSSB site to confirm it.

Vacancies — cadre break-up

UT Cadre 105, Divisional Cadre Jammu 1,093, Divisional Cadre Kashmir 897, and District Cadre (20 districts) 768 — 2,863 in total. The category break-up is OM 1,178, SC 246, ST-1 293, ST-2 286, OBC 221, ALC/IB 115, RBA 271 and EWS 253. The official notification gives cadre and category break-ups, not a per-post split — so the MTS/Sanitation Worker split of 2,697 and 166 reported by secondary sites is not presented here as official.

For Class-IV (MTS) posts you need a minimum of Matric (10th) and a maximum of 10+2. For Sanitation Worker posts you need a minimum of 8th pass and a maximum of 10+2. The qualification must be possessed as on the cut-off date, which is the last date of application.

The age limit is a maximum of 40 years for OM, 43 years for SC, ST-1, ST-2, RBA, ALC-IB, EWS and OBC, and 42 years for PwBD, as on 1 January 2026. Candidates must not have been born after 1 January 2008.
