What is the JKSSB Accounts Assistant cut-off?

The cut-off is the minimum score out of 120 needed for document verification. No official figure for the current advertisement was available in the sources checked, so none is quoted.

Is the cut-off the same for all categories?

No. Posts are spread across several categories, so each category may close at a different score. Check the board's result notice for category-wise figures.

How can I estimate a safe score?

Use full-length mocks in the same pattern, take the average of your recent attempts and aim for a clear margin above it. Treat this as practice, not an official prediction.

Where will the official cut-off be published?

The board publishes results and related notices on its official website, jkssb.nic.in. Follow the notices section for updates.

JKSSB Accounts Assistant Cut-Off: Benchmark Guide

The JKSSB Accounts Assistant cut-off is the minimum score needed to be shortlisted for document verification. Because the recruitment uses a single 120-mark written test, the cut-off is an overall score, and it can differ by category.

At the time of writing, no official cut-off for the November 2025 advertisement was found in the sources checked, and the written test date had not been confirmed. This page therefore does not quote any marks. It explains how the cut-off works and how to build a safe target. Once the board publishes results, check the notices on jkssb.nic.in.

What the cut-off means for this exam

Overall score: Selection is based on marks in one written test of 120 marks.
Category-wise: Posts are reserved across Open Merit, SC, ST-1, ST-2, OBC, ALC/IB, RBA and EWS, so each category has its own closing score.
After negative marking: The score is counted after deducting 0.25 mark for each wrong answer.

Cut-offs change every year with difficulty, vacancies and the number of applicants. Treat last year's figures as a benchmark only, and aim for a clear margin above them rather than a bare pass.

We have not added figures from earlier recruitments, because the pattern and number of posts differed. Any expected or estimated cut-off you see elsewhere is not official.

What affects the cut-off

Paper difficulty: A harder Accountancy or GK section lowers the closing score.
Number of posts: With 600 posts advertised, the shortlist is larger than in a small recruitment, but the number may change.
Applicants who appear: A high turnout raises competition within each category.
Reservation mix: Categories with fewer posts, such as ALC/IB, can close at different levels from Open Merit.

How to set your target

Aim high in the heavy subjects: Try for 22 or more out of 30 in Accountancy and in General Knowledge.
Protect accuracy: Keep wrong answers low, since each costs a quarter mark.
Use mocks as a mirror: Take timed full tests and note your average of the last five. Your target should sit comfortably above it.
Review sectionally: Find the subject that loses the most marks and fix it first.
