To make the present system of recruitment exams more transparent, fair, and accountable, Jammu Kashmir Service Selection Board (JKSSB) has put in place a third-party audit system and also introduced some other safety measures.  “A third party has been engaged for auditing the examination processes being adopted by the agency hired for the purpose and such an arrangement has been put in place for the first time in Jammu and Kashmir for ensuring fair and transparent conduct of recruitment exams,” said Rajesh Sharma, Chairman of JKSSB during an exclusive interview with the Excelsior. While elaborating, the Chairman said that to further strengthen the system and ensure fair manner conduct of recruitment exams so that genuine candidates may not suffer, SSB studied the procedure of national level recruitment agencies like Staff Selection Commission, and following their pattern, a company has been hired, which will audit the procedure being adopted by the other agency engaged for conducting the exams. Further, Rajesh Sharma said, to check the possibility of misuse of the blue tooth by the elements who attempt to compromise even Computer Based Test, low-frequency Jammers have been installed at the designated examination centers for which necessary permission was also obtained a few days back from Cabinet Secretariat, Govt of India. Both significant safety measures have been introduced by the SSB for the first time in conducting recruitment exams in Jammu and Kashmir to keep the system and process secure from the elements who attempt to compromise even the Computer Based Exam, which was also introduced recently in place of OMR based exams for more transparency.
