JAMMU: The continue exposure of horrible state of affairs in Jammu University by “POONCH TODAY” related to recruitment for various posts, has forced the Jammu University  authorities to approach those students who applied as per 2017 notification, to apply again and that too without paying fee. “POONCH TODAY” carried out a story in its December 2019 edition with the title “Jammu University’s recruitment fraud, Even Governor’s Secretariat was not spared by JU authorities; Vice Chancellor on tenterhooks”. In that story, “POONCH TODAY” published that how the murder of job aspirations of hundreds of meritorious students was carried out over the years, when it comes to recruitment for various posts. It is pertinent to mention here that a recruitment notification of 2017 was thrown beneath the carpet by JU authorities and those posts were  advertised again in August 2019, when J&K was going through internet gag and majority of students were not aware of the notification. It clearly shows that all the drama was  played to recruit the close one’s of JU authorities.  When “POONCH TODAY” approached JU authorities to inquire why previous notification was set aside, officials posted in VC secretariat said that they got Governor’s order to stop the recruitment process. When contacted, VC Jammu University failed to provide the Governor order, in which JU authorities claimed that they were directed to stop the recruitment process. Vice Chancellor even failed to provide the UGC guidelines which, they claimed, directing them to stop the recruitment process. “POONCH TODAY”  remained on front foot as it was  the question  of the future of hundreds of students who applied as per 2017 notification. Completely exposed by “POONCH TODAY”, JU authorities came out of their slumber and decided to invite those students who applied as per  2017 notification to apply again. Highly placed sources within the university told “POONCH TODAY” that Registrar Jammu University, on the directions of higher authority under delay condonation,   has directed all the students to apply again without paying fee and Register JU was directed to entertain all application forms again from those candidates who applied as per previous notification of 2017. This news has brought hundreds of students out of frustration  as they were facing huge inconvenience due to the bigheaded attitude of JU authorities.  Many job aspirants while talking to this newspaper, said, “We appreciate the stand taken by “POONCH TODAY”  newspaper for highlighting our most genuine issue and we are happy that JU directed us to apply again.”
