JKSSB Aspirants Face Major Issues While Filling Online Forms: Posts Not Visible Before Deadline
J&K | 24 February 2026
Thousands of candidates applying for posts under the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) have reported serious technical issues while filling out online application forms for vacancies in the Transport Department and Industries & Commerce Department. With the last date fixed as 25-02-2026, many aspirants claim that on 24 February, the posts were not visible in the “Apply” section (Step 4) of the form submission process.
This unexpected technical glitch has caused panic among students who were trying to complete their applications before the deadline.
Posts Not Visible in “Apply Section” (Step 4)
Candidates reported that after completing earlier steps of registration, they were unable to see the advertised posts under Step 4 (Apply section). Without the post appearing, they could not proceed further to submit the form.
Many aspirants took to social media to highlight that despite the deadline being 25 February, the portal failed to display the relevant posts on 24 February, creating confusion and anxiety.
Multiple Issues Faced by Aspirants
Apart from the missing post issue, students have pointed out several other technical problems:
1. Difficulty in Document Upload
Many candidates faced errors while uploading required documents such as:
Educational qualification certificates
Domicile certificates
Category certificates
Identity proof
Files were either not uploading properly or showing “invalid format” errors despite meeting size and format requirements.
2. Live Photograph Capture Failure
The live photo capture feature reportedly failed for many applicants. Issues included:
Camera not opening
Page freezing during capture
“Live photo verification failed” message
Browser compatibility problems
Candidates using mobile devices especially reported frequent failures during live photo verification.
3. Fee Payment Problems
Several aspirants complained about:
Payment deducted but status showing “Pending”
Transaction failures
Gateway timeouts
Delay in confirmation
Some students are worried because their payment was debited from their bank accounts but the application status has not been updated.
4. Slow and Unresponsive Website
Due to heavy traffic near the deadline, the website reportedly became slow and sometimes unresponsive. Pages took a long time to load, and sessions expired automatically, forcing candidates to restart the process.
Aspirants Demand Extension of Last Date
Considering the technical difficulties and the visibility issue in Step 4, many candidates are requesting the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board to:
Restore the missing posts in the Apply section
Resolve technical glitches immediately
Extend the last date beyond 25 February 2026
Provide clarification regarding payment status issues
Students argue that technical problems should not cost them their career opportunities, especially when they are not at fault.
Suggested Solutions for Candidates
Until official clarification is issued, aspirants are advised to:
Try using updated browsers like Chrome or Firefox
Clear cache and cookies before logging in
Use a desktop or laptop instead of mobile
Ensure stable internet connection
Keep screenshots of payment receipts and error messages
Attempt form submission during non-peak hours (late night or early morning)
Conclusion
The recruitment process is a crucial opportunity for unemployed youth, and technical barriers during the final days of application create unnecessary stress. Aspirants hope that authorities will take immediate notice of the issues and provide relief through an extension or corrective measures.
Transparent communication and a stable online system are essential to ensure fairness in the recruitment process.
