“ In the absence of a full fledged Chairman at the J&K Public Service Commission not only the ongoing recruitment processes for several posts will get delayed but the process for other recruitments will also take a long time to conclude.”
Though Satish Chandra completed his term as Chairman Jammu & Kashmir Public Services almost a month ago on November 19 this year but there still are no reports about the appointment of a new Chairman at Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission (J&K PSC) the top recruiting agency for Gazetted posts and elite services like J&K Combined Civil Services. The process for the appointment of a new Chairman at Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (J&KPSC) which should have been started much before the completion of the two year term of Satish Chandra is yet to begin and consequently the exams and interviews which were scheduled to be held for several posts during last one month are being postponed again and again. The precedence of the postponements of exams and interviews and the irregularities in the recruitments due to unwanted political interventions witnessed in decades of misrule by previous popular governments until 2018 were strongly curbed with an iron hand by Satish Chandra during his two year term as Chairman J&K Public Service Commission (J&K PSC) and as such the incoming Chairman for whom the selection process is yet to commence has to just take the incomplete recruitment processes to logical conclusions with the greater amount of transparency already established by Satish Chandra. In the absence of a full fledged Chairman at the J&K Public Service Commission not only the ongoing recruitment processes for several posts will get delayed but the process for other recruitments will also take a long time to conclude. Already flooded with the grievances about alleged delays in recruitment processes undertaken by both the Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission (J&K PSC) and as well as the Jammu & Kashmir Services Selection Board the delay in the appointment of a full fledged Chairman at Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission (J&K PSC) would further scale up the grievances of youth about delays in the process of recruitments at Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission (J&K PSC) in coming months.
“The candidates who have applied for the posts of Assistant Professors referred to Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission by the Higher Education Department were though expecting the announcement of recruitment schedule for the said posts but the delay in the appointment of a new Chairman at J&K Public Service Commission (J&K PSC) is also intensifying the apprehensions about the delay in the recruitment processes for these already advertised posts of Assistant Professors among hundreds of aspirants across Jammu & Kashmir. In furtherance of the causes of the fast track recruitments promised by none else than Lt Governor Manoj Sinha himself only a month ago it is for the Government to begin immediately the process for the appointment of a new Chairman at Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission as this by all probabilities could be the only way to revive in short time the stalled recruitment processes at Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission (J&K PSC)”.
Interestingly Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission (J&K PSC) in a notification on 9th November postponed till further notice even the departmental examinations which were scheduled to be held from December 24 to January 28, 2024 and apprehensions have unprecedentedly risen among the youth who have applied for several posts and are waiting for the announcement of the schedule for the recruitment processes.
