Aspirants Fume Over Lack of Update on JKSSB Constable Exam Inquiry
Srinagar, Feb 10, KDC: Aspirants for the Jammu and Kashmir Police (JKP) Constable exams are growing increasingly frustrated as the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) has failed to provide an update on the inquiry into alleged discrepancies in the recently declared results.
Despite assurances from the board to investigate the matter, no progress or communication has been shared with the candidates, leaving them in a state of uncertainty.
The controversy erupted after the JKSSB announced the results for the JKP Constable Telecommunication and Photography exams. Candidates raised alarms, alleging that top scorers in these exams had previously scored poorly in the simpler JKP Executive/Armed/SDRF paper. Many questioned how candidates who had performed poorly in the earlier exam could suddenly excel in the more technical and challenging Telecommunication and Photography papers.
In response to the outcry, the JKSSB initiated an inquiry, with Chairperson Indu Kanwal Chib stating that the board would thoroughly examine the allegations within a specific timeframe. However, aspirants while talking to Kashmir Dot Com said that no updates have been provided since then, leaving them feeling increasingly disheartened and confused.
Efforts to reach Chairperson Indu Kanwal Chib for comment were unsuccessful, as repeated calls went unanswered. Candidates expressed their growing dissatisfaction with the lack of transparency and communication from the JKSSB.
“We’re in the dark. It feels like our concerns are being ignored. We’ve been waiting for weeks with no response. How can we trust the system if it doesn’t provide clarity?” a delegation of aspirants said.
Candidates have urged the JKSSB to act swiftly, claiming that the delay and lack of communication are only fueling their frustration and distrust in the system.
“We’ve invested our time and energy into this process, and now we’re left with nothing but uncertainty,” said an aspirant, wishing not to be named. “If our concerns aren’t addressed soon, the faith in the system will be shattered for good.”
This recruitment drive, which was the first major one since 2019, included exams held on December 1, 8, and 22, 2024, to fill 4,002 vacancies in various departments. While the exams included an aptitude test and technical questions, the integrity of the results is now under intense scrutiny. (KDC)
