Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on December 6, 2025, dismissed misleading social media claims regarding the JKPSC examination, stating that facts were being distorted. The clarification came after several posts suggested administrative interference in the conduct of the exam. The LG confirmed that the file received at Lok Bhavan was strictly related to age relaxation and not to the examination schedule. The JKPSC examination remains scheduled as notified earlier, and no official order for postponement has been issued so far.
JKPSC Exam File Was Only on Age Relaxation, Confirms LG
In an official statement shared on X, Manoj Sinha clarified that the file received on December 2, 2025, concerned only age relaxation issues. It did not contain any proposal related to postponing or rescheduling the JKPSC examination. He further stated that the file was returned on the same day with a logistical query seeking clarification on whether it would be feasible to conduct the examination on December 7, 2025, after making changes to eligibility conditions at such a late stage. The LG added that no response had been received even after 4 days, despite the urgency of the matter. This delay, he said, contributed to confusion among aspirants due to speculative and misleading narratives circulating online.
JKPSC Exam Schedule 2025: Official Dates Reiterated
Before understanding the current controversy, it is important to revisit the officially notified timeline of the examination process. The following dates were formally released earlier by the authorities:
- JKPSC Advertisement Issued: August 22, 2025
- JKPSC Exam Date Notified: November 6, 2025
- Scheduled Exam Date: December 7, 2025
The LG emphasized that the examination schedule was announced well in advance, giving candidates sufficient time to prepare. Any late-stage change in eligibility without proper logistics could disrupt the examination process across multiple centres.
Misleading Social Media Claims Triggered Panic Among Aspirants
The clarification came after several posts on social media platforms claimed that the examination was being influenced administratively. These posts created panic and uncertainty among thousands of JKPSC aspirants preparing for the December 7 exam. Manoj Sinha expressed sympathy for young candidates, stating that unnecessary rumours at the final stage of preparation add to mental stress. He urged students to rely only on official notifications issued by the J&K Public Service Commission.
What Aspirants Should Do Now
Candidates are advised to continue their preparation as per the official schedule and monitor updates only through verified government and JKPSC sources. Until a formal notification is issued, the JKPSC examination remains scheduled for December 7, 2025. The administration has reiterated that any future decision on age relaxation or eligibility will be communicated transparently and officially, without affecting the sanctity of the examination process.
