Jammu, May 18: The stalemate over the recruitment process for the posts of Assistant Professors in Government Degree Colleges is finally over with the publication of amended regulations of University Grants Commission in the official gazette of union government.
Given the publication, the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) will shortly give final notices to both state universities Jammu as well as Kashmir University as well as all Ph.D candidates for submission of certificates in ten days.
Secretary of JKPSC, Shakeel-Ur-Rehman said that after the publication of amended regulations in Union government's gazette everything has been explicitly clear. "We have been issuing the deficiency lists in various subjects and now we will issue a final notice to both the Universities as well as Ph.D students to submit the certificates as per the new regulation in 10 days", he said, adding that there would be no further delay on the issue, adding that a call has to be taken by the respective universities.

"After the amended regulations, everything is clear now and within one week the certificates would be issued to all the candidates as per the new regulation", he said.
