Important Instructions to Students Regarding JPSC Calendar

Candidates preparing for JPSC recruitments must follow these essential guidelines to ensure they stay aligned with the tentative schedule and avoid missing critical updates.

Key instructions for aspirants:

• Treat all dates in the calendar as tentative; JPSC reserves the right to revise, postpone, or cancel any examination or interview at short notice.
• Regularly visit the official JPSC website at jpsc.gov.in for real-time updates, revised schedules, admit card releases, and application notifications.
• Check individual recruitment advertisements for specific eligibility criteria, vacancy details, application procedures, and fee structures, as the calendar only provides broad timelines.
• Plan preparation and travel arrangements, considering possible changes, and avoid relying solely on the tentative calendar for final decisions.
• Keep login credentials and registration details ready for timely access to admit cards, hall tickets, and other official communications.
• Report any discrepancies or seek clarifications through official channels only; avoid relying on unofficial sources for information.
