Introduction
For aspirants eyeing a career in the J&K Government, the JKSSB (Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board) exams are the ultimate gateway. Whether you are preparing for the Police Constable, Junior Assistant, Sub-Inspector, or Patwari exams, one section remains a constant hurdle: General English.
Within that section, Synonyms carry significant weight. Many candidates lose precious marks because they rely on a limited vocabulary or get confused by closely related options. However, scoring full marks in English isn’t about memorizing the entire dictionary—it’s about focusing on the high-frequency words that the JKSSB board favors year after year.
In this guide, we’ve curated a comprehensive list of synonyms specifically tailored for the 2026 JKSSB exam pattern. We’ve analyzed previous year papers to bring you:
- Most repeated words in JKSSB exams.
- A-Z Vocabulary with easy-to-understand meanings.

Key Takeaways for Your Preparation
- Focus on High-Frequency Words: Words like Alleviate (Ease), Candid (Frank), and Benevolent (Kind) are recurring favorites in JKSSB previous year papers.
- Context Matters: JKSSB often tests synonyms through “Paragraph Writing with Blanks,” where the “best fit” word depends on the sentence’s tone.
- Root Word Strategy: Instead of cramming, learn roots (e.g., “Bene” means good) to decode unfamiliar words during the exam.
- Consistency over Intensity: Aim to learn 10 new synonyms daily rather than 100 in one sitting. Use the “1-3-7 Revision Rule” (review after 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days) to lock them into long-term memory.
