SRINAGAR (J&K) —
Job aspirants in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir will be appearing in two mega recruitment examinations this Winter. The recruitment tests will be held by Jammu & Kashmir Bank and Jammu & Kashmir Services Selection Board in the first two months of the next year i.e. 2021.
“The exams could not be held earlier than the recently announced tentative dates due to multiple reasons, but yes, DDC and Panchayat polls are the prime factors,” says a J&K Bank official, who wished to remain anonymous.
However, many job applicants are unhappy with the decision to hold the exams in Winter.
Mohammad Ayoub, a job applicant, criticizes the decision, saying, “It would have been better to postpone the exams to March 2021. Conducting the exams in chilly Winter is a bad idea, given the lack of facilities like heating arrangement in exam centres here.”
However, the tentative schedules have now been announced and aspirants need to prepare for the tests with the announced dates in mind.
