The JKSET/LASET 2025 examination will be held on 7 September 2025, according to an official notification issued by the University of Jammu. The state-level eligibility test, conducted for recruitment and academic qualification purposes, will proceed as scheduled across designated centres in Jammu, Srinagar, and Leh.
Key Highlights of the Official Notice
The university confirmed that the exam will be conducted in offline mode at multiple sub-centres across the three regions. In Jammu, the test venue has been shifted from the Old Campus to the Mahant Bachittar Singh College of Engineering & Technology in Babiliana, Jeevan Nagar.
The decision was announced to ensure smoother logistics and to avoid overcrowding at the earlier location, according to the university’s statement.
Admit Card Advisory for Candidates
The University of Jammu issued an important clarification regarding admit cards. All previously issued admit cards have been cancelled. Candidates must download the updated admit cards released on 1 September 2025 from the official portal.
In its public notice, the university cautioned that old admit cards will not be recognised at any exam centre. Officials urged candidates to verify details such as the revised venue and roll number before appearing for the test.
Exam Centres Across Regions
The JKSET/LASET 2025 examination will be conducted across three divisions:
- Jammu: Now at Mahant Bachittar Singh College of Engineering & Technology, with additional sub-centres.
- Srinagar: Multiple designated colleges and institutions within the city and nearby districts.
- Leh: Centres have been arranged to facilitate candidates from Ladakh.
According to the official release, these locations were chosen to provide broader accessibility and reduce travel burdens on candidates.
Why the Exam Matters
The Jammu and Kashmir State Eligibility Test (JKSET) and Ladakh State Eligibility Test (LASET) are crucial for postgraduate candidates aspiring to become Assistant Professors or to secure research fellowships. The examination follows the guidelines of the University Grants Commission (UGC) and ensures academic parity with national standards.
Education analysts note that conducting the exam on schedule is vital, particularly after previous postponements due to administrative and logistical challenges in earlier years. “Maintaining a fixed calendar strengthens academic planning for both institutions and candidates,” said Dr. Neelam Gupta, a higher education expert at the University of Jammu, in a phone interview.
University’s Appeal for Caution
The University of Jammu also appealed to candidates and the public to disregard rumours or unofficial announcements circulating on social media. “Only information published on the official JKSET portal should be trusted,” the administration said in its statement.
Officials stressed that strict security measures will be enforced at all centres to ensure a fair and transparent examination process.
