In a notice issued by the Controller of Examinations, JKSSB said the test, originally scheduled at 35 centres in Jammu and Srinagar, was successfully conducted at 34 venues but could not be held at one centre due to weather-related exigencies.
“Accordingly, the Board has decided to cancel the examination conducted on 24.08.2025 and the same shall be conducted afresh,” the notification reads, adding that the new date will be announced separately.
