The Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission has recommended 259 candidates for lecturer posts, but none have received formal appointment orders yet.
The Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission (PSC) recently cleared 259 candidates for lecturer positions across the union territory's colleges and universities. Despite the formal recommendation, the aspirants have not been issued the official appointment orders required to assume their duties.
The prolonged delay has left many of the selected candidates in a state of uncertainty, affecting both their career plans and the staffing needs of higher‑education institutions that are awaiting new faculty. Officials have not provided a specific timeline for the issuance of the orders, prompting concerns among the teaching community.
Stakeholders, including college administrators and the candidates themselves, are monitoring the situation closely. The PSC is expected to address the backlog and release the pending appointment orders in the coming weeks, according to sources familiar with the matter.
