A communication from the General Administration Department (GAD) has been sent to all Deputy Commissioners, Senior Superintendents of Police, and Heads of Departments across J&K, directing them to allow in-service candidates to appear in the J&K CCE (Mains).
“Representations have been received from various in-service candidates who are not being granted leave to appear in the Combined Competitive (Mains) Examination, 2023, scheduled from March 26, 2024, to April 3, 2024, due to their engagement in various assignments, including election-related duties,” the letter stated.
