Reserved categories dropped 10–25 marks due to horizontal reservations and bonus marks.

7. Other Important Observations
Women Candidates: ~20–25% selected
SPO Quota: Significant role in many categories
VH Category: Few but filled
Merit Driver: Written examination only
Why Reserved Categories Had Lower Marks
Because of:
- Horizontal reservation
- SPO bonus marks
- RBA / ALC / IB benefits
This is normal in JKSSB recruitment.
8. What Future Aspirants Should Learn
Very Important Lesson
For JK Police recruitment:
Written exam preparation is FAR more important than physical.
Many candidates clear PST/PET but fail in written.
Safe Target Score (Future Recruitments)
- OM candidate → 65+
- Reserved category → 50–55
- Border/RBA/ST → 45–50
9. Final Conclusion
The JKSSB Constable Telecommunication recruitment showed:
- Transparent process
- Merit-driven selection
- Balanced regional representation
- Strong competition in Open Merit
Jammu region dominated in marks, but reservations ensured inclusion of Kashmir, Pir Panjal and Chenab areas.
For future JKSSB exams, aspirants must focus mainly on GK + Reasoning + Computer + J&K Static GK because written merit decides selection.
