SRINAGAR; An apex body working in the education sector Tuesday claimed that the Jammu and Kashmir’s service selection board flouted rules to... accommodate thousands of blue eyed candidates in the recently declared result of short listed candidates for government teacher jobs.

The Coaching Centres Association (CCA) of Kashmir demanded an inquiry into the entire episode wherein candidates with doctoral degrees ‘were dropped to accommodate candidates who have higher secondary qualification’.
 “SSRB had asked the candidates not to fill application form for the posts advertised under Notice No. 05 dated 02/03/2013, as their previous forms would be considered for the same,” said G N Var, chairman CCA.  “And now when the results came, the board has disqualified thousands of students on account of not filling the form.”

The association alleged that this modus operandi was used to keep the highly qualified candidates out of the race of competition to accommodate some blue eyed candidates. The association demanded that all the lists be merged together in accordance to merit. “There is a clear rule about advertising multiple posts under the same category,” said Var.
 “They have not followed the rule in this single notification and incidentally it has the maximum number of posts.”

The association also condemned the board for hiding the merit list. “We demand that SSRB publishes the entire merit list as soon as possible so that everybody knows about his or her position,” he said.
 "And until then no interview be conducted as we fear they try to finish the entire process in haste." The association said that if government doesn't take any remedial step, it may send a wrong signal to the youth.
“Tens of thousands of candidates have been working hard to qualify these exams, but due to this peculiar strategy, a PhD candidate has been disqualified against a 10+2 candidate,” said Var. “That is gross injustice.”

The association said that going by the reports of heavy corruption in the board, government needs to rethink the ways selection is being done.
