For the recruitment of Finance Accounts Assistants, recently the JKSSB released a notification notice (No. 4, 2020) in which they have set the eligibility criteria for the posts as any graduate. The post, though, requires knowledge of Accounting, which is only taught in the Commerce stream, hence the jobs should be reserved for Commerce graduates only. Moreover, JKSSB has framed a faulty syllabus for the entrance exam. It not only leans towards Science and Maths but also leaves little scope for Accounting professionals. As the latter are well versed with the pros and cons of the job, they should have been given precedence as far as the posts were concerned. Contrarily, the syllabus framed by JKSSB provides only 15 marks out of 120 for the Accountancy portion. That’s a very meagre sum.
