Kulgam, Feb 21: The issue of the Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Services (JKAS) exam coinciding with the Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) on February 23 has come to the government’s notice and is currently under review, with possible solutions being explored, said Education Minister Sakina Masood Itoo.
The Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) is scheduled to conduct the CCE 2025 prelims on February 23, while the Indian Air Force (IAF) is set to conduct AFCAT-1 2025 on February 22 and 23.
Speaking to reporters in Kulgam after a review meeting of the district on Friday, the minister said that in the ongoing board exams for Classes 10th, 11th, and 12th, some students were left behind due to mistakes made either by a principal or a clerk, causing issues with their names. She said that the students met her and said, “I believe the students have worked hard throughout the year, and immediate steps were taken. I directed board officials to allow the students to appear for the examination so that their year-long study does not go in vain.”
Responding to a question about the demand to reschedule the JKAS and AFCAT exams due to their clash on the same day, she said that the issue has come to her notice. “We will examine it, explore possible solutions, and ensure it is looked into,” she added.
