Shouting slogans against the Higher Education Department, the protesting aspirants, mostly female scholars, briefly blocked the road in front of JU main entrance.
They strongly criticized the Government for its purported decision to re-advertise the posts of Assistant Professor in Higher Education Department with amended selection criteria.
Claiming that the existing criteria of JKPSC for the selection of Assistant Professor/PTI is almost in accordance with the UGC pattern and acceptable to all the aspirants, they appealed the Government not to modify the same.
The protesting aspirants dispersed peacefully and announced to continue the struggle till an assurance if given by the Government over their demand.
