JAMMU, Jan 16: Continuing their protests against the alleged answer key leakage, Jammu and Kashmir Police Sub-Inspector (JKPSI) aspirants today accused the J&K Service Selection Board (JKSSB) of complete failure to maintain transparency.
Scores of JKPSI aspirants today assembled in front of Press Club Jammu and expressed their resentment over the leakage of answer key which was supposed to be released on 30th December 2022 as per notification issued by JKSSB but the link got circulated on WhatsApp on December 28 and many students managed to download the key two days before it was supposed to be.
Aspirants alleged that since answer key was generated on very same day when paper was designed and uploaded on server, so there was strong probability that link could be made available to some aspirants who might have got paper access before exam. They alleged that it seemed the paper leak syndrome of JKSSB was killing the future of the youth of J&K.

Aspirants also alleged that LG administration as well JKSSB were not serious about future of youth. “When aspirants sought relief from High Court which ordered a judicial enquiry over the process of selecting a blacklisted firm, on very next day JKSSB challenged that judgement and allowed a blacklisted company which is known for incompetency and insecure examination process,” they said and added that result of all this can be seen as aspirants of different districts are protesting against failure of JKSSB in conducting transparent exams.
The protesting aspirants alleged that JKSSB has lost credibility and failed in trust building among youth and common people. They alleged that there were a large number of anomalies in the official answer keys released. The aspirants demanded that the role of private players should be ended up in the Government appointments.
They demanded that Aptech company, which has been entrusted the job of conducting JKSSB exam, be debar as the same company is blacklisted in many states of India. They also demanded judicial enquiry into the JKPSI exam conducted recently.
