If the Hon’ble Chief Minister had already sent the file after approval, there was absolutely no reason for any further queries. What was considered correct for the last many years remains correct today. The CM has categorically stated that the exams should have been postponed.
Instead of indulging in petty politics in this dual power centre, LOP Sunil Sharma should use his energy to exert pressure on Lok Bhawan.
Its simple and clear:
1.Relaxation must be granted.
2.Exams must be postponed.
This is the unanimous view of the elected government and every single person in the National Conference.
Anything beyond this from anyone else is a lie or mere whataboutery.
Aspirants of the JKPSC CCE are caught in a tussle between the LG and the CM. In this freezing cold, they are out on the streets asking for nothing more than basic fairness -age relaxation and a reasonable exam schedule.
I urge @OfficeOfLGJandK and @OmarAbdullah to step in and resolve this issue without any further delay.
Chief Minister expressed deep concern over the travel chaos caused by the ongoing airline issues, compounded by the uncertainty resulting from Lok Bhavan’s delay in approving age relaxation, a provision granted multiple times in the past. He urged JKPSC to take note of the unprecedented stress on aspirants and consider postponing the exam in the interest of fairness and equal opportunity for all.
Jammu, J&K: An aspirant requesting age relaxation in the JKAS exam says, "There’s confusion over the file on age relaxation. First we were told it’s at the CM office, then that it’s been sent from the LG office. Both offices now claim they don’t have it. Someone must be giving false information..."
As I write this at 7:45 PM from Joggers Park, Rajbagh, Srinagar—I have commenced an indefinite hunger strike. This hunger protest will continue until the government issues the order for age relaxation for JKAS aspirants. I appeal to everyone to remain calm and peaceful throughout
JKAS exam is scheduled for 7 dec yet thousands of aspirants are still waiting for age relaxation. The file has moved from the CM Office to the LG Office. Political parties are busy blaming each other while students remain stuck in dilemma stress, and uncertainty. #JKAS#Age
I am sitting on a hunger strike today from 3 PM for an indefinite period, until the government issues an order in favour of JKAS aspirants.
The hunger strike will take place at Maharaja Hari Singh Park, Jammu (Dogra Chowk).”

I firmly believe there should be a procedure adapted were the conflict for state & national exam should not happen & students should encash both opportunity rightly so .Looking forward for some positive outcomes /respite Thanks
The JKAS Prelims & AFCAT exams are scheduled for Feb 23, 2025, causing an unfair conflict. Amidst rising unemployment, forcing candidates to choose between two crucial opportunities is unjust.
Urging @CM_JnK & @OfficeOfLGJandK to intervene and ensure a fair chance for all.
Afcat exam clashing with JKPSC prelims on 23rd feb, need intervention of @OmarAbdullah ji to postpone JKPSC exam so that students dont suffer due to this clash.
@sakinaitoo
One would think a government that thrives on slogans of "Naya Kashmir" would at least understand the basic tenet of creating opportunities instead of crushing them. But alas, under @OmarAbdullah and his incompetent brigade, even that.. it seems - is too much to ask.
The JKPSC's adamant refusal to reschedule the JKAS exam despite clear and legitimate concerns from hundreds of aspirants is not just negligence, it’s outright sabotage of the youth's future. A region plagued by staggering unemployment now finds its students forced to make an impossible choice between JKPSC and AFCAT exams both on February 23, 2025.
What kind of governance promotes "youth empowerment" while forcing its brightest minds to pick between serving their state and serving their country?
@JKPSCOfficial's message to J&K students is loud and clear: "We don't care about your future; our inefficiency comes first."
When aspirants are pleading for fairness and equal opportunity, this government remains in deep slumber, perhaps too busy ensuring their own progeny never face these dilemmas.
Shame on @JKNC its leadership for turning a simple scheduling conflict into a monumental injustice. It's not just a clash of dates, it's a clash of dreams and livelihoods. The people of J&K deserve better than this institutional apathy disguised as governance.
JKPSC's approach is disappointing, especially when it comes to youth. The chairman's suggestion that students should choose just one opportunity is limiting. We must provide our youth with every chance to succeed. It's alarming that the chairman isn't listening to our elected representatives, who are voicing concerns on behalf of the people. #JKPSC #YouthEmpowerment #ListenToThePeople @salmanalisagar@CM_JnK@NasirKhuehami@Mirzuba1@OmarAbdullah
ABVP strongly urges @OfficeOfLGJandK & JKPSC to reschedule JKAS Prelims to ensure every aspirant gets a fair chance to appear for both exams without compromise. Future of youth must not suffer due to administrative negligence! ( 2/2)
@rajnathsingh@narendramodi JKPSC’s unfair scheduling of JKAS Prelims on Feb 23rd clashes with **AFCAT, restricting J&K aspirants from joining the Indian Air Force.This denies equal opportunity! Urgent intervention needed to reschedule JKAS for fairness. #RescheduleJKAS
If official high-handedness had a face, this would be it.
What Mr. Chairman fails to grasp is that the commission's mandate is to ensure a fair and efficient recruitment process, one that upholds the right to equal opportunity for all aspirants, not arbitrarily deny some the chance to compete.
His statement, "let them choose between the two," is a glaring reflection of apathy.
If the candidates' demands are legitimate, they deserve to be heard and given due consideration. Dismissing their pleas would amount to penalizing them for JKPSC’s failure to schedule the exam on a conflict free date - an injustice to those who have poured their sweat and blood into their preparation.
Humbly request @OfficeOfLGJandK & @CM_JnK to intervene and ensure a resolution that prioritizes the interests of the youth over the convenience of the commission.
