We the candidates who appeared for the written examination for the posts of Veterinary Assist Surgeon, under notification no. OS-PSC(DR-P) of 2024 dated August 2, 2024, held on January 12, 2025, wish to bring to your kind attention certain grave discrepancies in the examination process.
It is pertinent to mention that the question paper was not framed in accordance with the syllabus notified by JKPSC in the abovesaid official notification. The major portion of the syllabus was given very low weightage or totally skipped without a question being asked from some subjects viz. Dairy Science, Management, Nutrition, Genetics, Major Contagious Diseases mentioned in the syllabus, Principles of Immunization and Vaccination, Drugs used for Doping in horses, Drugs used to Tranquilize Wild Animals and Neonatal Diseases. Moreover, more than 60% of the Questions were asked from the Subjects not mentioned in the prescribed notified syllabus. A significant portion of the paper was framed from the subjects like Veterinary Parasitology, Veterinary Toxicology, Veterinary Pharmacology, Veterinary Radiology and Non-conventional (Scarcity feeds) feed resources, which were not explicitly included in the syllabub. Moreover, the syllabus explicitly states that 20 Questions shall be from General Knowledge at the State and National levels. However, only 7 Questions in the paper adhered to this requirement, further deviating from the guidelines provided and thus depriving the aspirants from a fair chance of competition and Right to Equal Chance of Opportunity. The failure to follow the prescribed syllabus has resulted in an unfair examination process, flavouring candidates on sheer tuck rather than merit. This has deprived the aspirants of a fair and competitive opportunity, which is contrary to the principles of transparency and justice that JKPSC upholds. In the light of the above facts, we humbly request your esteemed office to consider the representation and take appropriate action by cancelling the written examination held on January 12, 2025 and re-conducting the written examination for the same. We are hopeful that your goodself will address this matter with due priority and urgency so that Right to Equal Opportunity provided by Constitution and fair competition for all candidates can be ensured.
