The Jammu and Kashmir government has reversed another Union Territory administration decision, raising the upper age restriction for the J&K Combined Competitive Examinations (CCE) to 35 years for open merit candidates.

In July of this year, the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (PSC) decreased the CCE age limit to 32 years for general candidates and 34 years for reserved categories.

In an order issued on November 9, the general administration department noted that the government has set the maximum age limits for open merit candidates at 35 years, while the age limit for reserved and in-service candidates has been raised to 37 years. Physically challenged individuals can apply up to the age of 38.

“As promised in our manifesto, JKNC government prescribes revised upper age limit for Jammu & Kashmir Combined Competitive Examination. We wish all the candidates good luck with their preparations!,” the National Conference said in a post on ‘X’ while sharing the order.

Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) on November 10 postponed the preliminary examination for the CCE-2024, which was planned on November 17, 2024.

“The fresh dates for the said examination shall be notified separately,” said controller of examination, JKPSA in a notice. 

J&K CCE candidates had consistently demanded a rise in the examination age limit. On November 9, Peoples Democratic Party leader Iltija Mufti expressed her concern.

“With barely a week to go for CCE 2024 prelim exams on the 17th November aspirants are in a state of utter distress & confusion owing to the government’s ambiguity on the proposed age relaxation. They must ensure GAD issues relevant orders immediately if they are indeed serious about it,” she said.

The age relaxation order comes 10 days after the Jammu and Kashmir administration declared that it would revert to the traditional academic year arrangement up to Class 9 beginning this year in the Kashmir valley, with school examinations held in November-December rather than March.

In 2022, the LG-led administration of J&K changed the arrangement, adopting the March session in Kashmir as was the practice in Jammu.
