AJKYF demands uniform fee for JKSSB vacancies and common syllabus for Graduate level posts.

RAMBAN January 06:– All J&K Youth Federation ( AJKYF ) expressed concern over looting of JKSSB aspirants in the name of advertisements time and again and questioned the UT Administration for charging of unlike fee from the aspirants for the same post and dissimilar syllabus for the same qualification in advertised posts.

Muzaffar Malik, District Convenor, AJKYF said that the recruitment drive has many faults because of which aspirants are annoyed and angry which includes the advertisement of the same posts in different notifications, unlike fee and different syllabus for all the posts having same eligibility, uncertainty in matters of conducting examination and their results, uncertain examination schedule and many others.

He further added that JKSSB should follow the pattern of SSC where candidates are required to fill only one form and to prepare a single syllabus for all posts having same eligibility criteria. JKSSB should also frame an examination calender which should be issued atleast 3 months prior to the conduct of examination which will help candidates to prepare constantly without the fear of any uncertainty. Otherwise candidates in J&K usually go through uncertainty in matters of Syllabus, conducting examination and their results.

Imran Farhat, District Executive Member accused the recruiting agencies of Jammu Kashmir Service Selection Board (JKSSB) and Staff Selection Commission (SSC) for mismanagement of the examinations. There has been three recent advertisement notices by JKSSB wherein various departments had referred the same posts with same grade pay and selection procedure but still the aspirants are forced to fill separate forms with separate fee for each and every post. Even few years back the aspirants filled two different forms of different departments but the advertisement notice was same and they had to pay fee differently for the advertised forms and ultimately single admit card was issued for both the advertised posts. Likewise in the recent advertisement notices, an aspirant who hardly earned any money was called to deposit fee differently.

Farhat further added that the aspirants who are eligible for 10 different posts have to deposit Rs. 3500 (Rs 350 per post) as per the application procedure even after knowing well that a single examination will take place.

Recently an activist of Youth Federation had talked with the recruitment agency of the Service Selection Board and came to know that central agencies advertised all the posts together and call the examination as Common Graduate Level Examination, wherein an aspirant just have to deposit an amount of Rs. 100 for all the advertised posts and have to set preference accordingly and now the question arose that why Jammu Kashmir Service Selection Board ( JKSSB ) does not adopt the similar procedure even after downgrading J&K State to Union Territory and adopting central laws.

All J&K Youth Federation (AJKYF) urged upon the Central Government in general and the UT administration of J&K in particular to save the aspirations and future of the educated unemployed youth by providing them reasonable relief by changing the fee structure as well as common syllabus for all advertisement posts and further requests the LG Administration and JKSSB Chairman to advertise all the vacant posts in one or two notifications adopting the procedure of central agencies.
