SRINAGAR, Jan 21: People’s Democratic Party leader, Iltija Mufti, today raised concerns over alleged discrepancies in the telecommunications and photographer exams conducted by the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB), questioning the fairness and transparency of the results.
Addressing the media, Iltija alleged that candidates who had topped both exams failed the Jammu and Kashmir Police Constable exam, which has led to questions about the transparency and fairness of the examination process.
“Candidates who performed poorly in previous exams suddenly became toppers overnight in these recent ones. Meanwhile, those who worked hard failed to make the list. Why can’t exams be conducted transparently?” she asked. Click here to watch video
The PDP leader also expressed concerns about the involvement of blacklisted agencies, particularly APTEC, in conducting the exams. “Since 2019, JKSSB has been outsourcing exams to these agencies despite their dubious track records. There seems to be a clear nexus between high-ranking officials and these companies, which raises suspicions of a conspiracy,” she said.
She criticized the Government for failing to fulfill its promises, questioning its inability to bring transparency to recruitment processes. “The Government promised 1 lakh jobs and rationalization of reservations, but none of these promises have been kept. Now, they can not even ensure a fair examination process,” she said, adding that unemployment in Jammu and Kashmir stands at 38%, contributing to an increasing crisis of youth falling into drugs and despair.
Iltija also expressed frustration over the impact of such irregularities on young people. “Our youngsters are being left helpless, pushed into drugs and despair. What future is being built for them when those who work the hardest do not even make the list?” she said.
The PDP leader demanded the administration to cancel the current exam results immediately and ensure that future exams are conducted in a fair, transparent, and unbiased manner. “The government must take immediate action to restore trust in the recruitment process and ensure deserving candidates are given a fair chance,” she said.
