The Jammu & Kashmir Students’ Association has written to Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, urging him to raise alleged recruitment scams, paper leaks and institutional failures in Parliament. The association cited irregularities, outsourcing concerns and opaque tendering in public examinations across the Union Territory. It called the recruitment of 1,200 Jammu and Kashmir Police sub-inspectors the clearest example. The CBI investigation into the 2022 examination led to chargesheets against 33 accused, with allegations that candidates paid Rs 20 lakh to Rs 30 lakh for selection. The recruitment was cancelled, but the association said aspirants still await institutional accountability and systemic reforms. It also cited the scrapped Finance Accounts Assistant and Junior Engineer examinations, as well as alleged leaks in Fire and Emergency Services recruitment. The association said a high-level committee’s report on awarding the fresh police examination contract to Aptech Limited has not been made public. The matter has also faced scrutiny from the Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court.
