JAMMU, NOVEMBER 28: The State Administrative Council (SAC) which met here today under the chairmanship of Governor, Satya Pal Malik approved enhancement in the waiting list from the existing 33.33% to 50% of the posts advertised, which shall extend to 100% wherever the number of posts is 10 or less, either under normal selection or under the provisions of SRO-202. The recommendation in this regard was made by the J&K Services Selection Board (JKSSB).
It is pertinent to mention here that Departments had been facing problems in filling vacancies referred for selection to the SSB due to non-joining of selectees. It has been observed that the Board conducts a common test for different non-gazetted posts with similar qualification/eligibility. A candidate applied for more than one post, gets actually selected for a number of posts but in the end chooses the post of his choice. In this way the other posts for which selection process is undertaken remain unfilled. These vacancies could not be filled from the same selection process in view of the limit on the operation of the waiting list.
