Calculate Your Probable Score
The JKSSB Staff Nurse G-II examination uses the following marking scheme:
- Correct answer: +1 mark
- Wrong answer: 0 marks (no negative marking)
- Unattempted: 0 marks
Example: If you attempted 110 questions with 90 correct and 20 wrong: Score = (90 × 1) + (20 × 0) = 90 marks out of 120
Download your response sheet from the official portal after logging in with your roll number and date of birth. Compare your marked answers with the provisional answer key series-by-series to arrive at an accurate score estimate.
Should You Challenge This Answer Key?
Raise an objection if:
- The official answer in the key appears factually incorrect based on the question paper text
- You have a reference from a standard medical textbook, nursing manual, or official government publication that contradicts the given answer
- Multiple credible medical or nursing sources support a different answer
- The question wording itself is ambiguous or contains an error that makes more than one option defensible
Do NOT raise an objection if:
- You are uncertain about the answer or simply disagree with your score
- You saw a different answer on social media, coaching apps, or unofficial forums without a verified textbook reference
- A coaching centre claims the answer is wrong but provides no published source
- You attempted the question incorrectly and cannot find documentation proving the key is wrong
Practical reminder: The objection fee of ₹200 per question is refundable only if your objection is found correct. Raise objections sparingly, backed by clear published references. JKSSB will not individually notify you of acceptance or rejection. The revised answer key (if any corrections are made) will apply uniformly to all candidates.

Q6. Can I submit objections online or by post?
Ans. No. JKSSB accepts objections only in offline mode. You must submit the completed objection form in person at one of two offices-JKSSB, Muthi, Akhnoor Road, Jammu OR JKSSB, Zamzam Building, Rambagh, Srinagar-between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM during the three-working-day window (13/07/2026 to 15/07/2026).

Ans. There is no stated upper limit in the official notice. However, each objection costs ₹200 and is refundable only if found correct.
