JAMMU, June 2: NSUI has demanded reopening of Combined Services Examination (JKAS) application forms for those candidates who recently got age relaxation.
Addressing a press conference, NSUI State President Ajay Lakhotra said that according to a notification issued by the General Administration Department on 27-05-2023, the age relaxation was granted to the aspirants and now the upper age limit for General category candidates is 35 yrs, for Reserved Categories it is 37 yrs and 38 years for Physically Challenged Aspirants.
However, he added, the aspirants who got age relaxation, could not fill the form as JKPSC did not extend the last date for filling the application forms.
Ajay Lakhotra stressed that JKPSC should extend the last date of submitting application forms for the Combined Services Examination so that those who became eligible after age relation notification may also apply. “If it’s not done, than there will be no relevance of age relaxation,” he added.
Pointing out that the tentative date of JKAS Preliminary exam is June 23, 2023, the NSUI leader said that they don’t want to disturb the roaster of JKPSC but only extending the date of application forms for at least one week and accommodate the aspirants who got benefits of age relaxation.
Other NSUI leaders, who were present in the press conference, included Bavanyu Bhagat, Jatin Dogra, Sparsh Sharma, Bobin Chadda, Rahil Mirza, Salik Ali Shah, Javed Chauhan, Vinayak, Abhay, Jagdeep and Jaisidh Bhalla.
