JKSSB postpones health worker exam by one hour due to weather
The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) has postponed the OMR-based examination for Female and Male Multi-Purpose Health Workers (FMPHW/MMPHW) by one hour due to prevailing weather conditions in Jammu district. The exam, advertised under Notification No. 07 of 2025, was originally scheduled for 12 noon on Sunday, 11 October 2026, but will now begin at 1 pm on the same day.
The Controller of Examinations, Reyaz Ahmad Malik (JKAS), issued the notice advising all candidates to take note of the revised timing. The change applies to the posts in the Health and Medical Education Department. The Board has not announced any change to the examination date, which remains 11 October 2026. Candidates have been advised to follow the revised schedule.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The JKSSB's one-hour postponement affects thousands of candidates who sat for the OMR-based exam on 11 October. The board cited weather in Jammu district as the reason, but has not said whether the delay will affect the exam's duration or result timeline. Candidates now need to adjust their travel and reporting time. The next concrete step is the conduct of the exam at the revised time of 1 pm on the same date.
