J&K Bank Recruitment: JKSA demands upper age limit of 40 years; seeks LGs intervention

STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, NOVEMBER 08 (STC): Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) in a statement has urged Lieutenant Governor (LG) to prevail upon Jammu and Kashmir Bank authorities to raise the upper age limit from 30 years to 40 years for the recent J&K Bank notification for the recruitment of probationary officer (POs) and Banking Associates (BAs).
National Spokesperson of the Association, Dr Zubair Reshi, said that while the announcement of fresh recruitment after a prolonged gap of nearly six years is a welcome development, restricting the upper age limit to 30 years has left thousands of otherwise eligible and deserving aspirants disappointed and effectively excluded from an opportunity they have waited years to pursue.
He said that the recruitment process must take into account the extraordinary delay in announcing vacancies and the ground realities confronting educated youth in Jammu and Kashmir.
