Exam on Sunday, answer key out the same weekend — the J&K Services Selection Board didn’t waste a single day. JKSSB has published the provisional answer key for the Driver, Driver-II and Driver Grade-II OMR-based written exam held on 18 October 2026 (Sunday), and it’s live on the official website, jkssb.nic.in.
If you wrote that paper, this is your first real look at where you stand. Download the key for your series, tally your responses, and if something looks wrong — object. But read the objection section of this post before you do, because the fee and the process have specifics worth knowing.

Provisional Key — What That Word Means for You
“Provisional” is doing a lot of work here, so let’s unpack it. This key is JKSSB’s first draft of the correct answers. It’s published precisely so candidates can challenge it. If your challenge holds up, the answer changes in the final key — and the final key is what your OMR sheet gets scored against.
The key covers all four question-paper series (A through D). Make sure you download the one matching the series printed on your question booklet. Tallying Series B answers against the Series A key is the easiest self-inflicted wound in this whole process — double-check before you start marking.
Score Yourself the Right Way
Don’t just count the ones you got right and call it a day. Go question by question: mark each response as correct, wrong or skipped, then apply the exam’s marking scheme exactly as given in the official notification. That gives you a realistic range, not a fantasy number. And be honest about the guesses — the ones you “felt good about” count exactly the same as the ones you knew.
Keep your question paper (or a photo of your OMR response sheet, if you took one) until the final result is out. If a challenge you raised gets accepted and an answer flips in the final key, you’ll want your own record to confirm the corrected score actually reflects in your result.
How to Download the JKSSB Driver Answer Key
- Open jkssb.nic.in — the board’s official website.
- Look for the answer-key notice for the Driver / Driver-II / Driver Grade-II exam of 18 October 2026 (check the “What’s New” or notice section).
- Open the provisional answer key PDF and find your series (A, B, C or D).
- Download it, then sit with your question paper (or your best recollection of your responses) and score yourself honestly.
Raising Objections: The ₹200-Per-Question Part
Found an answer you can prove is wrong? JKSSB accepts objections offline at ₹200 per question challenged. Two things to get right:
- Don’t object on gut feeling. ₹200 a question adds up fast. Object only where you have a solid reference — a textbook, an official document, a clear factual basis. “I think it’s B” is not a basis.
- Watch the deadline on the official notice. I’m not printing a last date here because it wasn’t verifiable at the time of writing — JKSSB windows are typically short, so check jkssb.nic.in today and treat it as urgent. A late objection is a rejected objection, fee or no fee.
Also note: no vacancy count in this post, deliberately. Sources conflict on the numbers for these driver posts across departments, and I’d rather give you no number than a wrong one. The posts themselves — Driver, Driver-II, Driver Grade-II across various departments — are confirmed.
What Happens After the Objections
Once the window closes, JKSSB’s experts review the challenges, correct the key where needed, and publish the final answer key. No objections are entertained against the final key — that’s the whole point of doing it in two stages. Your result follows after that. If you qualified comfortably on the provisional key, start thinking about the next stage instead of refreshing the result page all day.
One last piece of housekeeping: keep your admit card, question paper and a copy of the provisional key until the final result is declared. These small documents have a habit of becoming important exactly when you’ve thrown them away — during document verification, or if you ever need to reference a challenged question. A folder on your phone costs nothing.
