So, in this context, Lets move on to the Today's Topic ie. JKSSB Forester Recruitment 2022 and the changes in its Recruitment rules.


Let me be clear very early, JKSSB Forester Advertisement is not yet announced, but is expected shortly, as posts have been re-referred to JKSSB for direct recruitment . A total 250 Forester Posts are referred to JKSSB for Direct Recruitment. In this post we will discuss the  Changes made in the Eligibility criteria for the recruitment of Foresters in J&K Forest Department. 


This post has all the Answer for your Queries, regarding the JKSSB Forester Recruitment. We will discuss the Tentative Advertisement Schedule, Then Eligibility criteria, Exam Pattern, Selection Process, Syllabus and the all the Latest News on the Forester vacancy in J&K.


What NEWS is there on the Forester Recruitment in J&K?


First, see this Data related to JKSSB's previous Forester Recruitment advertisements.


1) JKSSB Advt. 03 of 2004 (Item No. 8) : 57 Posts (Forester)

2) JKSSB Advt. 08 of 2010 (Item No.: 340, 224): 224 Posts

3) JKSSB Advt. 01 of 2013 (Item No. 32,47): 26 Posts


So, you can see in the Last 18 years, JKSSB has advertised 307 Forester Posts through 3 Notifications, but will you believe that Recruitment Process for these posts is still not completed and not a single candidate gets appointment against these posts. 


Reason is JKSSB fails to conduct the Height Measurement Test / Walk test and Written test for these posts. Then, there can be some litigations against these Advertisements too. But all in all, it is a mockery of the FAST TRACK Recruitment process.


8th Oct, 2021: Then on 8th October, 2021, JKSSB has released a Notification, where in candidates who have applied for these posts are informed that they have their Walk Test / Height Measurement test starting from Nov, 2021. 

But again that could not happen too.


3rd Feb, 2022: Then again on 4th Feb, 2022, J&K Govt. releases an order stating that "All posts referred to JKSSB and JKPSC prior to 31st Oct, 2019 shall be withdrawn". This decision came as a shocking news to scores of aspirants who have applied for various posts, including Forester Post aspirants who have been waiting since 2004 for the completion of selection process.


This decision received a strong backlash from the Job Aspirants and Political parties, who urged the Honourable LG of J&K Shri Manoj Sinha ji, to rethink on this decision. 


8th Feb, 2022: On 8th Feb, 2022, J&K LG has assured that all the Withdrawn Posts shall be re-advertised and re-referred to recruitment agencies. He also informed that due to Reorganization of J&K, posts had to be removed due to implementation of new laws in Jammu and Kashmir, new domicile, reservation and recruitment laws but now they will be recruited under new rules. Otherwise these may invite Fresh litigations. So govt, has no choice but to withdraw these posts.


When JKSSB Forester Recruitment 2022 will be announced?


Anytime, we can expect the announcement of JKSSB Forester Posts. 


Because J&K Government is a hurry to fill these posts as these posts have been pending for recruitment from Last 20 years. So, they won't waste much time and fill these posts As soon As possible.
