Finalization of JKAS departmental examination syllabus in final stages: CM
JAMMU, Mar 13: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Thursday informed the J&K Legislative Assembly that the finalization of the syllabus for the 2018-24 batches of J&K Administrative Services is in its final stages, and the examinations will be conducted soon thereafter. Responding to a supplementary question from Member Aijaz Ahmad Jan, the Chief Minister acknowledged the delays but assured that the process is now nearing completion.
“The government has gradually streamlined these processes, which had been delayed for some time. However, the complexity of the revision caused an unavoidable delay. This is the first syllabus revision since 2000—after nearly 25 years—which required significant changes,” he said.
He further explained that the administration conducted a comparative analysis of J&K’s syllabus with those of other States and Union Territories to ensure alignment with national standards.
“Necessary modifications have been incorporated, and relevant departments, including Revenue, Law and Information Technology, have contributed to the process,” he added.
The Chief Minister also mentioned that senior IAS officers were consulted in drafting the final syllabus.
“The final draft is now ready, and I assure this House that we will complete the process within a month,” he said.
