Aggrieved candidates seek attention of LG, JKPC Chairman
Srinagar: The selection list of Associate Professors, declared in November last year by Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC), is yet to be forwarded to Jammu and Kashmir Higher Education Department (JKHED) thus leaving the candidates depressed and distraught.
Selected candidates while talking to the news agency KNO said that selection list of Assistant Professors in seven subjects including Botany, Political Science, Urdu, Sociology, Electronic Science, Geology and Hindi were announced from October 17 to November 08 last year.
They said that they have been eagerly waiting for the last five months but unfortunately, the list is not being forwarded to the concerned department.
Bilal Ahmad, one of the selected Assistant Professor told KNO that 23 candidates were selected in Botany followed by 11 in Political Science, 19 in Urdu, 26 in Sociology, 13 in Hindi, 8 in Electronic Science and 7 in Geology.
He said that firstly there was no Chairman of JKPSC for months together and that was being said to be the reason for the delay behind not forwarding the list to the concerned department. He said that around one month has passed since new Chairman took over, but the list has not been forwarded to the concerned department yet.
“The selected candidates are highly depressed and distraught due to the prolonged delay caused by JKPSC,” another candidate said.
The agitated candidates have sought attention of the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and Chairman JKPSC in this regard.
