The CM mustn’t drag his feet any longer & release the sub committee report’s findings as was promised in Dec 2024. There is a deliberate merit apartheid & institutional weeding out of Kashmiris from J&Ks jobs & bureaucracy. Kashmir’s youth deserve equal opportunities & justice
Today, exactly 21 months after @OmarAbdullah promised to resolve the RESERVATION issue within 6 months, the victims of Reservation Apartheid are back on the streets. Because that promise was never kept.
We were promised justice in 6 months. We waited for 21 months. And what did we get? Nothing but silence, delay, and a sub-committee report that you are too scared to make public.
When 70% of our youth are forced to fight for just 30% of seats, where is their future? An entire generation is being pushed into depression and hopelessness. You have turned their degrees into worthless pieces of paper and their dreams into nightmares
We again urge the government to resolve the reservation issue immediately. Please do not waste any more time, we are suffering badly and every passing day is adding to our hardship. We are losing our jobs. @OmarAbdullah
Students are tagging the LG of Ladakh for the removal of the MTS qualification criteria. This is the state of helplessness J&K youth are facing today
Thousands of educated youth are suffering because of the maximum qualification cap in JKSSB MTS recruitment.
A candidate should not be punished for studying further. Graduation or higher qualification should not close the door to an MTS job.
Remove the maximum qualification cap. Amend the relevant rules and give every eligible aspirant a fair chance to compete on merit.
Students need opportunity, not exclusion.
Justice for aspirants!

Remove maximum qualification bar for govt services,don’t punish aspirants for being overqualified. How pitiable that 12th is the eligibility for junior cadre jobs like MTS excluding graduates and above . @manojsinha_@OmarAbdullah@DullooAtal
In places like J&k‚ where Graduates with Higher degrees Are Unemployed where Unemployment Is Touching the sky!And Brilliant Aspirants are Roaming here and There In search of job‚ then Our JK GAD came up with the qualification bar making the situation worse‚

I stand firmly with the Educated Unemployed Youth & Graduate Aspirants of Jammu & Kashmir in their genuine demand for removal of the upper educational qualification bar for MTS/Class-IV recruitment.
Higher education should be an asset, not a disqualification. I urge the J&K Government and JKSSB to review the decision, remove the 10+2 maximum qualification ceiling, and provide an equal opportunity to all eligible aspirants.
Our educated youth deserve fairness, dignity and a fair chance to compete.

The maximum educational qualification prescribed in the recent JKSSB notification for the recruitment of Class-IV (MTS) and Sanitation Worker posts has disappointed thousands of job aspirants who have pursued higher education.
JKSSB has fixed 10+2 as the maximum qualification for these posts. This simply means that candidates who have studied beyond 10+2 will not be eligible to apply.
What message is the Government sending to our educated youth? Is the government disincentivising higher education? That too at a time when we are already witnessing a decline in college admissions for past few academic sessions. Putting maximum qualification bar on jobs will further send discouraging message to young people pursuing higher education.
It is completely illogical to tell an educated young person that being more qualified makes him or her less eligible for a government job.
Those responsible for making such policies must understand that behind every degree and qualification is a young person who has spent years of hard work, time and family resources on education. Such candidates should not be penalised simply because they have studied beyond the prescribed level.
I strongly urge the Government to immediately reconsider and remove the maximum educational qualification criterion from the notification and provide equal opportunity to all.
If the existing recruitment rules stand in the way of removing this restriction, the Government must amend the rules without delay.
SHAMEFUL: JKSSB MTS Adv 09/2026 bars Graduates & PGs Too Qualified to apply. In J&K where unemployment is 30%, you are telling youth their degrees are a crime. Education should not be punished. Remove this 12th-only bar immediately. Let MERIT decide, not this Tughlaqi rule
Education isn’t a crime. By lowering the maximum qualification for MTS posts to just 12th Pass JKSSB is criminalising ability & merit.
@CM_JnK Why punish graduates, post graduates & Phd holders? Taleem jurm Naheen hai.
OPEN MERIT STUDENTS ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING AN “EXTINCT SPECIES”?
Yesterday, I felt hopeful seeing so many young students and aspirants openly speaking about merit, fairness and rationalisation of reservation. For a long time, many of us remained silent. But the voice is now growing—and it deserves to be heard.
We are not against reservation. We believe in social justice and equal opportunity. But every system must evolve with time. Rationalisation of reservation in Jammu & Kashmir is the need of the hour so that merit, representation and fairness can coexist.
We earnestly request the Hon’ble Chief Minister @OmarAbdullah Ji and Hon’ble Minister for Education @sakinaitoo Ji to look into this matter with seriousness and initiate a meaningful review of the existing system.
Our youth should not be forced to choose between merit and justice. Jammu & Kashmir needs a system that protects the disadvantaged while also ensuring that merit and hard work are not pushed to the margins.
We are also thankful to PDP Patron Mehbooba Mufti Ji for providing us a platform to raise issues concerning merit and the aspirations of our youth.
This is not a fight against anyone.
This is a call for fairness.
This is a call for rationalisation.
This is a call for the future of our youth.

Are Open Merit students on the verge of becoming an extinct species?
The most powerful question asked at a PDP Youth Interaction with Mehbooba Mufti Sahiba today.
Time to reflect is over. It’s time to take action.
