J&K Government abolishes interviews for all Class IV Posts

The Jammu and Kashmir government today abolished interviews for all Class-IV posts in the state and the selection would now be based on the merit secured in the written examination, an official spokesman said here.

In a decision with far-reaching consequences, the State Administrative Council (SAC), which met here under the  chairmanship of Governor N N Vohra, abolished interviews for all Class-IV posts in the state, he said.

The decision will come into effect immediately except for those posts for which selection process has already been initiated, he said.

In future, all recruitment for Class-IV posts under State, Divisional and District Cadres and also for companies, organizations and bodies substantially owned or controlled by the Government, will be done through the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB), the spokesman said.
