What is JKSET
All candidates interested in working as assistant professors and junior research fellows within the various institutes and schools of the state, namely Jammu and Kashmir, must take the JKSET, which is administered annually by the University of Kashmir.

Since it is a state-level exam, the SET is given in both English and the local language. Click Here for Main Website
