Selection Process – JSSC JILCCE 2026
The JSSC JILCCE 2026 selection process has two stages: a Preliminary Examination and a Main Examination. Both are conducted as Computer Based Tests (CBT) or through OMR sheets. There is negative marking in both stages — 1 mark is deducted for every wrong answer, and each correct answer carries 3 marks.
Stage 1 – Preliminary Examination
This is a single paper of 120 multiple-choice questions with a 2-hour duration.

The final merit list is based on combined marks from Paper 2 and Paper 3. Post allotment follows the merit-cum-preference order selected by the candidate during the application.
Tie-breaking rule: Equal marks → older candidate ranks higher → equal age → alphabetical order of name as entered in the application.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Many candidates lose their candidature due to avoidable errors. Here’s what to watch out for:
- Name mismatch: Your name in the application must match your Class 10 certificate exactly — no prefixes like “Shri” or “Mr.”
- Wrong fee payment: OBC, EWS, and General candidates must pay ₹100. Claiming the ₹50 SC/ST concession without being Jharkhand SC/ST will get your application cancelled.
- Missing the fee deadline: Registration closes 19 August, but fee payment can be done until 20 August midnight. Don’t confuse the two dates.
- Wrong photo format: Background must be plain; glasses are not acceptable. Rejected photos mean rejected applications.
- Expired OBC/EBC certificates: Non-Creamy Layer certificates issued before August 2012 are invalid. Check the date on your certificate.
