JKSSB Driver Result 2026: Score Sheet and Final Answer Key Out for 18 October OMR Exam — Latest Update
JKSSB has released the result (score sheet) of the OMR-based written examination for Driver / Driver-II / Driver Grade-II posts held on 18 October 2026, together with the final answer key. Both notices are dated 28 October 2026 (notice No. JKSSB-COE0EXAM(UT)/01/2026-04) and are signed by the Controller of Examinations. The exam covers posts advertised under Notification No. 04 of 2025 (item 16), Notification No. 07 of 2025 (items 144-162) and Notification No. 09 of 2025 (items 255-270), so the result is common to all three advertisements. The 107 posts quoted in the older sections of this article belong to Notification No. 09 of 2025 only; they are not the vacancy count of this exam.
This is a score sheet, not a selection list. Annexure A lists 5,270 candidates in one combined list sorted by score, from the highest score downwards: 4,688 candidates carry a score and 582 are marked absent. Find your roll number in the PDF and read your score. The notice does not print a cut-off, the maximum marks, or a post-wise or category-wise split.
What Happens Next After the JKSSB Driver Result 2026?
- JKSSB says it will call candidates falling in the consideration zone, based on the merit obtained by them, for Document Verification. The schedule for Document Verification will be notified separately, and no date has been given yet.
- Mere figuring in the result does not entitle a candidate to be called for document verification or to appear in the select list. You must also fulfil the other eligibility conditions, and the decision of the Board is final.
- The notice does not state the size of the consideration zone. Keep your domicile certificate, HGV/PSV driving licence, educational and category documents ready, and watch the official website for the schedule.
What Changed in the JKSSB Driver Final Answer Key 2026?
The board received 201 objections on 11 unique questions within the stipulated time. Subject matter experts examined them, and no question was deleted. The answer changed for 4 questions and stayed the same for 7. The table gives each changed question by booklet series.
| Series A | Series B | Series C | Series D | Provisional answer | Final answer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q27 | Q117 | Q87 | Q57 | A | D |
| Q37 | Q7 | Q97 | Q67 | B | D |
| Q42 | Q12 | Q102 | Q72 | C | A and D (both accepted) |
| Q43 | Q13 | Q103 | Q73 | A | D |
Answers for the seven challenged questions that did not change (Series A Q12, Q20, Q21, Q22, Q45, Q60 and Q92) stay as in the provisional key. Check your own series against the final key PDF before you compare scores, because the scores in the result are the board’s own.
- Candidates who paid ₹200 per question and whose objection is found genuine as per the final key will get the refund in the bank account they gave the board.
- No further claims on the final answer key will be entertained by JKSSB through any mode.
