Srinagar, Oct 08: Chief Secretary, Atal Dulloo today chaired a high-level meeting to review the functioning of the Jammu and Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE) and the Board of Technical Education (BoTE).

According to a statement issued here, during the meeting, the Chief Secretary directed the National Informatics Centre (NIC), J&K, to develop a comprehensive module for online counselling and admissions for BOPEE within the next 15 days, aimed at ensuring a seamless and transparent admission process for students across the Union Territory.

While taking a detailed appraisal of the ongoing admission and examination processes, the Chief Secretary emphasized the need to make all academic and admission activities strictly time-bound and schedule-driven. He called for advance notification of examination and counselling calendars and their strict adherence under all circumstances.

The Chief Secretary also directed that every effort be made to ensure that no seat remains vacant in professional and technical courses offered across government and private institutions. He asked the concerned officers to conduct a course-wise assessment of available and filled seats and take immediate corrective measures where vacancies persist.

He further instructed the concerned departments to redesign and restructure courses with consistently low student uptake, observing that infrastructure and manpower created in both government and private institutions should not remain underutilized due to lack of enrolment.

The Chief Secretary also directed BOPEE to upgrade seats of candidates in line with merit, particularly in those courses where intake capacity has been recently enhanced.

It was informed that all services of the J&K Board of Technical Education have now been fully digitized and integrated with national platforms such as UMANG and e-UNNAT, ensuring ease of access and transparency in service delivery.

The Chief Secretary appreciated the efforts made by both BOPEE and BoTE in improving transparency, efficiency, and outreach of their processes.
