JKPSC Exam Row: Lok Bhawan rejects social media claims about exam schedule

STC NEWS DESK
JAMMU, DECEMBER 06 (STC):
Social media claims regarding the JKPSC examination are misleading and are vehemently denied, said the Office of the Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinh, stating that Lok Bhavan was never sent any proposal related to postponement or restructuring of the examination schedule.
“The file received at Lok Bhavan on December 2, 2025, was categorically related only to the issue of age relaxation. It said the file was examined and returned on the same day with a specific query on whether it was logistically feasible to conduct the examination on December 7 by incorporating modifications in eligibility criteria at such a late stage.
Despite the lapse of four days after returning the file, Lok Bhavan did not receive any response on the logistical feasibility,” the official clarification stated. The statement firmly rejected suggestions that delays or uncertainty originated from the LG’s office.
The clarification further stated that the Lieutenant Governor fully sympathises with the concerns of young aspirants, but emphasised that due process and administrative clarity are essential, particularly when examinations of large scale are involved.
The statement also outlined the examination timeline, noting that the advertisement notice for the JKPSC examination was issued by the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission on August 22, 2025. It added that candidates were subsequently informed through a formal notice dated November 6, 2025, that the examination would be held on December 7, 2025.
Officials said the clarification was issued to counter misinformation and ensure that aspirants are not misled by unverified claims circulated on social media platforms.
