Aspirants who appeared in the JKPSC 10+2 Lecturer (English) Objective Type Examination have alleged that parts of the question paper were “partially leaked” days before the test was conducted.
Several candidates claimed that a number of questions asked in the exam had already appeared in a mock test conducted by a local coaching academy on November 6, raising concerns about the fairness of the examination process.
The allegations surfaced after multiple candidates reported that they came across news reports suggesting that several questions were circulating nearly three days before the official examination date.
Key Allegations Raised by JKPSC Aspirants
| Issue Raised | Details Reported by Aspirants |
|---|---|
| Alleged Paper Leak | Questions reportedly similar to a mock test held on November 6 |
| Premature Circulation | Claims that parts of the paper circulated three days before the exam |
| Extremely Lengthy Paper | Candidates say the 40-page paper was not possible to complete in two hours |
| Negative Marking Impact | Aspirants claim they attempted fewer questions due to fear of losing marks |
| Request for Inquiry | Students appeal to LG Manoj Sinha and CM Omar Abdullah for intervention |
Aspirants Highlight Concerns About Paper Length
Candidates also expressed dissatisfaction regarding the length and structure of the exam paper.
Several aspirants noted that the question paper was 40 pages long, making it difficult to complete within the two-hour duration.
One candidate said the negative marking further restricted their attempts:
“Because of negative marking, we had to attempt limited questions. Most of our time was spent reading and understanding the lengthy paper.”
Another aspirant stated that they could barely attempt 70 to 80 percent of the paper due to time constraints.
JKPSC Chairman Responds, Requests Formal Complaints
Reacting to the allegations, JKPSC Chairman Arun Kumar Choudhary told KNO that the Commission is open to receiving grievances directly from aspirants.
He said:
“If the aspirants have any issues, they can come to the office of JKPSC and submit their complaints.”
Regarding the alleged paper leak, the Chairman added:
“If the aspirants have evidence, they can come to us or lodge a complaint with the police.”
Choudhary cautioned against relying on unverified social media posts, stating that proper evidence is required for the Commission to take action.
Aspirants Seek Government Intervention
The candidates have appealed to the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to intervene and initiate an independent investigation into the allegations.
They argue that a transparent inquiry is essential to maintain fairness and credibility in future recruitment examinations conducted by the JKPSC.
Conclusion
The allegations of a partial paper leak in the JKPSC 10+2 Lecturer English Exam have sparked concerns among aspirants across Jammu and Kashmir. With the JKPSC Chairman inviting formal complaints and evidence, the issue may soon undergo official scrutiny.
Aspirants continue to urge senior government authorities to ensure a transparent and fair resolution to restore confidence in the recruitment process.
