No Order Issued on TET, Clarifies J&K Education Minister Sakina Itoo

No Order issued by J&K Govt on TET, Clarifies Education Minister Sakina Itoo

Srinagar, Feb 25: Education Minister Sakina Itoo on Wednesday clarified that no fresh government order has been issued regarding the Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) in Jammu and Kashmir and said there is no immediate requirement to enforce it in the Union Territory.

Speaking to reporters, as per news agency Kashmir News Corner — KNC Minister Itoo said that although the Hon’ble Supreme Court had earlier directed that teachers across states and Union Territories must qualify the TET, the J&K government is closely examining how the directive is being implemented elsewhere before taking any step.

She said that after receiving the relevant case file, the government decided to first study the pattern, mechanism and practical implications of the examination in other states and UTs.

The Minister remarked that the idea of conducting such eligibility tests was not new and had earlier been envisioned during the tenure of late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, with steps initiated at that time by former Education Minister Naeem Akhtar through the RET examination framework.

However, Itoo said it would not be appropriate to rush implementation, especially when many teachers in J&K have rendered 25 to 35 years of service and have contributed significantly to society by educating generations of students who are now serving as doctors, engineers, IAS, KAS officers, professors and other professionals.

She maintained that any decision impacting such teachers must be taken after careful consideration of consequences and ground realities.

The Minister further stated that the Supreme Court has itself provided a two-year window in the matter and clarified that there is no urgency for immediate enforcement in J&K.

“If it is implemented across the country and further directions are received from the Hon’ble Supreme Court, we will review the matter accordingly. But as of now, there is no immediate enforcement,” she said.

Referring to reports circulating on social media, Itoo said confusion was being created regarding an order, but reiterated that no such order has been issued by the government for immediate implementation in Jammu and Kashmir.

She added that whenever the directive is uniformly enforced across India, J&K will take a considered call, but there is no immediate move to implement it. (KNC)

The Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) has officially announced the Result of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Judicial) Examination, 2025 along with the deployment of successful candidates for the Medical Examination stage. This crucial update comes after the completion of the Judicial Examination process, reflecting a key milestone in recruiting eligible candidates for the prestigious role of Civil Judge (Junior Division) in the Union Territory.

Candidates who appeared in various stages of the examination can now verify their status and preparedness for the next procedural requirement — the Medical Examination — which is essential before final appointment and deployment.

Overview of JKPSC Civil Services (Judicial) Examination 2025

The Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Judicial) Examination is conducted by the JKPSC to recruit talented law graduates into the subordinate judiciary of Jammu and Kashmir. The recruitment process involves multiple rigorous stages designed to assess candidates’ legal acumen, analytical skills, and judicial temperament.

The typical selection stages include:

  1. Preliminary Examination (Objective)
  2. Mains Examination (Descriptive)
  3. Interview / Personality Test
  4. Medical Examination (Final fitness evaluation before appointment)

Each phase tests different competencies — from fundamental legal principles to advanced reasoning and ethical evaluation — aligning with national judicial standards.

Final Result and Deployment for Medical Examination

The JKPSC, vide Notification No. 14-PSC (DR-S) of 2026 dated 24th February 2026, has declared the result of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Judicial) Examination 2025 and has issued the list of candidates who are now eligible to proceed to the Medical Examination stage.

  • These candidates have successfully cleared the earlier stages, including interviews (viva-voce), conducted by JKPSC.
  • The recruitment exercise was executed in a transparent and fair manner, following all statutory norms and procedures.

The Medical Examination is a mandatory stage for all selected candidates. It evaluates whether candidates are medically and physically fit to undertake the responsibilities of a Civil Judge (Junior Division). This evaluation is especially significant given the demanding nature of judicial duties.

Why the Medical Examination Matters

The Medical Examination is not just a formality — it is a vital part of the selection process. Judicial roles often involve:

  • Handling extensive case files and long working hours
  • Interacting with distressed litigants
  • Managing courtroom proceedings efficiently
  • Undertaking administrative and field duties, if required

Thus, ensuring candidates are physically and mentally fit is essential for the effective exercise of judicial responsibilities.

GMC Srinagar Corrigendum 2026: Tie-Breaking Criteria Revised for Tutors/Clinical Instructor & Public Health Tutor Posts

The Government Medical College (GMC) Srinagar has issued an important corrigendum regarding the engagement of Tutors/Clinical Instructors/Public Health Tutor (Level-6) on an Academic Arrangement Basis. The notification brings clarity to the tie-breaking procedure in the merit list prepared after the MCQ-based written examination.

Candidates who have applied or are planning to apply for these posts must carefully review the updated guidelines to avoid confusion during the selection process.

This article provides a detailed overview of the corrigendum, eligibility implications, selection procedure, and important instructions for aspirants.

Background of the Recruitment Notification

Earlier, Notification No. 01 of 2026 dated 29-01-2026 was issued under endorsement No. GMCS/HS/2026-Tutor AAB/8330-36 regarding the engagement of Tutors/Clinical Instructors/Public Health Tutor (Level-6).

The recruitment is being conducted under:

S.O. 364 of 2020 dated 27-11-2020 and its corrigendum thereof.

The engagement is strictly on an Academic Arrangement Basis, which means it is contractual in nature and governed by specific terms laid down by the Health & Medical Education Department of Jammu and Kashmir.

However, due to a typographical error in Column 07 under Terms and Conditions, GMC Srinagar has now issued a corrigendum clarifying the correct tie-breaking procedure.

What Does the Corrigendum State?

As per the corrigendum issued by Government Medical College Srinagar, the corrected tie-breaking procedure in case two or more candidates secure equal merit in the MCQ-based written test is as follows:

1. Preference Between Postgraduate and PhD Candidate

If there is a tie between a Postgraduate (M.Sc) candidate and a PhD candidate, then:

  • The PhD candidate shall be given preference.

This clearly prioritizes higher academic qualification in the merit hierarchy.

2. Tie Between Two or More Postgraduates

If two or more Postgraduate candidates secure equal merit in the MCQ test, then:

  • The candidate who has secured higher percentage of aggregate marks in M.Sc shall be given preference.

This ensures that academic performance at the postgraduate level is considered as the next determining factor.

3. Tie Between Postgraduates with Equal M.Sc Percentage

If two or more Postgraduate candidates:

  • Have equal MCQ marks and
  • Have secured equal aggregate percentage in M.Sc,

Then:

  • The older candidate in age shall be given preference.

Age seniority becomes the final deciding criterion in such a scenario.

Why Is This Corrigendum Important?

This clarification plays a crucial role in ensuring:

  • Transparency in selection process
  • Fair evaluation of candidates
  • Clear hierarchy in academic merit
  • Avoidance of disputes during final merit list publication

For competitive recruitment posts such as Tutors/Clinical Instructors and Public Health Tutors, tie cases are common. Hence, predefined criteria prevent ambiguity and maintain administrative fairness.

Posts Covered Under This Recruitment

The corrigendum applies to the engagement of:

  • Tutors
  • Clinical Instructors
  • Public Health Tutor (Level-6)

These positions are vital in strengthening teaching and training infrastructure at Government Medical College Srinagar and its associated institutions.

Nature of Appointment

The engagement is:

  • On Academic Arrangement Basis
  • Governed by S.O. 364 of 2020 dated 27-11-2020
  • Temporary/contractual in nature
  • Subject to terms and conditions notified by the Health & Medical Education Department

Candidates must understand that Academic Arrangement posts do not constitute permanent appointments unless otherwise notified.

Official Details of the Corrigendum

As mentioned in the official document:

  • Issued by: Mohammad Ashraf Hakak, JKAS
  • Designation: Administrator, Associated Hospitals Srinagar
  • Dated: 23-02-2026
  • Reference No.: GMCS/HS/2026-Tutor AAB/9214-22

The corrigendum partially modifies the earlier notification and strictly addresses the tie-breaking procedure in Column 07.

Departments Informed About the Corrigendum

As per the official circulation, copies were forwarded to:

  • Secretary to the Government, Health & Medical Education Department
  • Principal/Dean, Government Medical College Srinagar
  • Joint Director Information for publication in local dailies
  • Principal, Govt. B.Sc College of Nursing Srinagar
  • Principal, Govt. AMT School Srinagar
  • Controller of Examinations, GMC Srinagar
  • Incharge Website for uploading on official website

This ensures widespread dissemination of the corrected information.

What Should Candidates Do Now?

If you are an applicant for the GMC Srinagar Tutor/Clinical Instructor/Public Health Tutor recruitment, you should:

  1. Carefully review your academic records.
  2. Ensure your M.Sc aggregate percentage is correctly calculated.
  3. Keep documents related to age proof ready.
  4. Monitor official website updates for further notifications.
  5. Stay informed about examination schedule and merit list publication.

Understanding tie-breaking rules helps candidates assess their standing realistically.

Impact on Merit List Preparation

The revised tie-breaking rules mean:

  • PhD candidates get priority over Postgraduates.
  • Among Postgraduates, academic percentage matters.
  • If academic performance is equal, age seniority is decisive.

This structured approach strengthens merit-based selection and aligns with academic standards expected in medical education institutions.

  • Medical education
