With Exam a Day Away, J&K CM Seeks Postponement as LG Says Age-Relief File Returned With Query

Student groups say travel disruptions have left candidates stranded, requesting a brief deferment until a written decision is issued.

Overview

  • The JKPSC Combined Competitive Examination is scheduled for December 7 with admit cards issued, but a one‑time age‑relaxation proposal remains undecided.
  • The Lieutenant Governor’s office says it received the age‑relaxation file on December 2 and returned it the same day asking if late eligibility changes were logistically feasible, and it reports no reply since.
  • Chief Minister Omar Abdullah urged the Commission to postpone the test, citing airline chaos and uncertainty over approval that he says is stressing aspirants.
  • The General Administration Department has sent the file to JKPSC for its opinion after queries were raised, according to the chief minister’s advisor.
  • Political leaders across parties and student groups pressed for relaxation or a short deferment, with protests reported and one aspirant launching a hunger strike in Srinagar.
