The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) released the provisional answer key for the Junior Theatre Technician position on 29 October 2026, the same day as the examination. Candidates who appeared for this OMR-based written examination can now download and review the answer key across all four paper series and proceed with objection filing if needed.
Overview
This recruitment drive under JKSSB's Health and Medical Education Department covers Junior Theatre Technician positions across Item Numbers 109 to 116. The examination comprised 120 questions distributed across four paper series: A, B, C, and D. Each series contained identical 120 questions but in different orders to ensure test integrity. The provisional answer key has been released immediately to allow candidates to assess their performance and prepare objections if they believe any answers are incorrect. This is a standard practice in competitive examinations where the provisional key is subject to review based on candidate objections before the final answer key is published.
