No Compromise On Transparency, Merit: JKSSB Chairman As Protests Continue Over Hiring Of ‘Blacklisted’ Company

JAMMU, Mar 10: Cautioning the job seekers against certain elements trying to malign the process of recruitment, Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) chairman Rajesh Sharma on Friday assured the youth that there will be no compromise on transparency and merit.

The remarks of Sharma came amid back-to-back protests by groups of job aspirants in the twin capital cities of Jammu and Srinagar for the past two days over the hiring of a previously blacklisted company, APTECH Limited, by the JKSSB for the conduct of computer-based written tests.

“The board is very much aware of your concerns and all efforts will be made to conduct exams in a fair, transparent and secure manner. Do not pay heed to rumour mongers and those with ulterior motives, who are only here to disrupt the processes,” Sharma told reporters here.
