If you’ve been refreshing the JKSSB website every other day, hoping to see an exam date for Finance Accounts Assistant — trust me, you’re not alone. A friend of mine who has been preparing for the FAA for over two years messaged me this morning asking, “Bhai, kuch aaya kya?” And honestly, I had to deliver the same old news: nothing yet.

So here’s the full picture. On 26 May 2026, JKSSB released a fresh exam schedule under Notice No. JKSSB-COE0EXAM/UT/10/2022-04 (7055504). The board listed dates for a bunch of posts across the Health & Medical Education Department, Various Departments, and the Forest & Ecology and Environment Department. It’s actually a pretty detailed calendar — but if you’re an FAA aspirant, one thing is glaringly missing.

Finance Accounts Assistant (FAA) is nowhere in this notice. The FAA exam date has NOT been announced in JKSSB’s latest calendar dated 26-05-2026. Based on the current schedule pattern and the posts still pending, most observers and aspirants expect the FAA exam to be held somewhere in September or October 2026 — but this is not official yet.

What’s actually in this new exam calendar?

Let me break down what JKSSB has scheduled. There are two annexures in this notice:

Annexure A covers the Health & Medical Education Department — 15 posts, including Junior Dental Technician, Staff Nurse G-II, Para Medical Assistant, and more. These are written exams (CBT likely) with dates starting from 14 June 2026 and going up to 23 August 2026.

Annexure B covers Various Departments and Forest & Ecology. This includes a Website Operator skill test in the 1st fortnight of July 2026, Junior Assistant skill test, Junior Scale Stenographer/Junior Stenographer shorthand test on 27.07.2026, and PET/PST tests for Wild Life Guard, Inspector, FPF Guard, and Social Forestry Worker in the 2nd fortnight of August 2026.

So why is FAA not in this list?

This is the question everyone is asking. And honestly, nobody has a definitive answer — JKSSB hasn’t explained publicly why certain posts keep getting deferred. But here are a few things worth knowing:

POINT 01

FAA falls under a separate notification (likely Notification No. 04 or 05 of 2025). JKSSB tends to release exam schedules notification-wise or department-wise — so it may be that the FAA-related posts are being scheduled in a separate batch altogether.

POINT 02

The current schedule runs up to late August 2026. Logistically, JKSSB would likely need a gap before conducting another major written exam. September–October is the most realistic window given this pattern.

POINT 03

Court cases or administrative holds can also delay individual posts. Without official confirmation, aspirants should treat any September/October speculation as informed guesswork — not a guarantee.

What should FAA aspirants actually do right now?

Look, waiting on JKSSB for a date is a full-time job in itself. But here’s my honest suggestion based on having watched this process closely over multiple cycles:

Don’t stop preparing. Whether the exam is in September or gets pushed to November, the syllabus doesn’t change. FAA tests you on accounts, general knowledge, reasoning, and basic maths. Every week you don’t prepare is a week someone else is pulling ahead of you.

Keep the JKSSB official website — jkssb.nic.in bookmarked and check it weekly, not daily (daily checking just causes anxiety). Join a reliable Telegram channel that covers JKSSB updates — there are a few decent ones that post notices within hours of release. Just be careful about paid groups that inflate speculation.

One more thing — and this is something a lot of aspirants overlook: once the admit card is released, the time between the admit card and exam date can be very short — sometimes just 10 days. So don’t wait for the admit card to start your final revision sprint. Keep yourself at 80% readiness from now on.

Common mistakes FAA aspirants are making right now

MISTAKE 01

Believing WhatsApp forwards about “FAA exam on this date.” JKSSB has not made any such announcement. Don’t waste mental energy on unverified news.

MISTAKE 02

Taking a break from preparation because “the date isn’t out yet.” This is exactly how aspirants lose their edge. Consistent prep beats last-minute cramming every single time.

MISTAKE 03

Ignoring the accounts portion and over-focusing on GK. A lot of FAA aspirants come from arts backgrounds and avoid accounting questions. Don’t. It’s a significant chunk of the paper.

The bigger picture

JKSSB is clearly trying to clear a massive backlog of pending recruitments. The fact that they’ve just released a 15-post exam schedule for Health & Medical Education is actually a good sign — it shows the board is operationally active and moving through its queue. FAA is in that queue, just not at the front of it right now.

If history is any guide, once JKSSB wraps up the July–August exam cycle, it will almost certainly release the next batch of dates — and FAA should be in it. Whether that’s late September or early October, nobody can say with certainty today. But it’s coming.

Keep your syllabus revision going, keep your documents ready, and keep an eye on official channels. When JKSSB does announce the FAA date, you’ll want to be ready to download your admit card within hours — not days.
