DC Anantnag reviews exam arrangements for 12,500 candidates
The Story in Brief
Deputy Commissioner Anantnag Dr. Bilal Mohi-Ud-Din Bhat on Friday, 6 November 2026 chaired a meeting to review arrangements for the OMR-based written examination for Accounts Assistant posts in the Finance Department, scheduled for 15 November 2026.
Officials said 43 examination centres have been set up across the district, where about 12,500 candidates are expected to appear. The DC reviewed facilities including seating, drinking water, electricity, heating, sanitation, security, transport, traffic regulation and medical aid.
He directed education authorities and centre superintendents to inspect all centres and ensure compliance with JKSSB guidelines on candidate verification, frisking, entry procedures and secure handling of exam material. Nodal officers were told to monitor arrangements and address any gaps.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The review signals the district administration's effort to manage a large-scale recruitment exam with over 12,000 candidates across 43 centres. The focus on SOP compliance, especially candidate verification and secure OMR handling, points to past concerns about exam integrity in J&K. What remains unaddressed in the meeting is how logistical challenges such as winter heating and power supply at all centres will be ensured by 15 November, a date now eight days away.
