Jammu, Feb 1 : The Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) has reportedly committed grave mistakes in preparation of syllabus of Urdu subject for proposed screening test for posts of Assistant Professors.
As reported exclusively by Early Times in its previous editions that JKPSC would conduct screening test for six subjects including Management, Education, Political Science, Sociology, Environmental Science and Urdu to shortlist candidates for Assistant professor, posts as the number of eligible candidates was more than the criteria fixed.
Few days back, the JKPSC uploaded the syllabus for the above mentioned subjects but the aspirants claimed that the syllabus for Urdu subject lacks any systematic rhythm and portends towards the fact that Commission had not engaged any experts for finalization of syllabus.
Aspirants inform Early Times that the syllabus of any subject has proper systematic rhythm as origin of literature, development, poets and thinkers, critics beside others but in the uploaded syllabus there was no such systematization.
There are lots of typing errors or we can say blunders, an aspirant said, adding that in the Nazam section, there is a mention of Nazam-e-Zumra but as per Urdu scholars there is no such Nazam and actual Nazam is Nazam-e-Mura.
"There is mention of Azad-Nasri Nazam in the syllabus, which itself has become a new genre but as per Urdu literature these are two Nazams vis-à-vis Azad Nazam ad Nasri Nazam", another Urdu scholar said.
They further claimed that in the criticism section there were many superficial topics mentioned. "There is no mention of origin and development of criticism of Urdu literature but in the syllabus there is a mention of those literary works, which are not original Urdu works but are translations of western literary works in Urdu", an aspirant Ashfaq said.
He further claimed that the noted critics of Urdu comprising Hali, Shivli, Mohammad Hussain Azad found no mention in the syllabus.
"There is no detailed specification of the topics and there are only headlines of topics in the syllabus, which left the aspirants confused", they said. The aspirants further claimed that it seemed that the JKPSC had taken the Urdu syllabus of post graduation from University of Jammu and Kashmir University and has made it. "It signals towards the fact that during finalization of the syllabus there was no expert engaged by Urdu", the aspirants said, adding that they had approached the JKPSC to make the necessary amendments but they simply asked to give representation to Secretary. |
