Srinagar, Jan 23: The Jammu and Kashmir Service Selection Recruitment Board (JKSSRB) has initiated an inquiry to address allegations of discrepancies in the recently declared results of the JKP Constable examination.
Chairperson of JKSSRB, Indu Kanwal Chib, confirmed the investigation, stating, “We have tasked our members with thoroughly examining the matter. A specific timeframe has been given for completing the inquiry.”
The move comes after candidates who appeared for the Telecommunication and Photography exams expressed serious concerns over irregularities in the selection process. They alleged that certain candidates who performed exceptionally well in these exams had previously scored poorly in the JKP (Executive/Armed/SDRF) paper, raising doubts about the transparency of the process.
PDP leader Iltija Mufti also weighed in on the controversy, criticizing the JKSSB on social media. Taking to her X handle, she wrote, “Massive discrepancies in the JKP Telecommunications exam wherein toppers fared poorly in the previously held constable exams. The government that rose to power by making lofty promises has conveniently washed its hands of any accountability.”
The allegations have drawn widespread attention, prompting the JKSSB to order a detailed investigation into the claims. (KDC)
