As per reports, in February 2021, the Higher Education Department had forwarded 396 posts which included 344 posts of Assistant Professors for Government Degree Colleges whereas 52 posts of Physical Training Instructors (PTIs) to JKPSC for making recruitment against the posts.
Later a letter was also forwarded by the Higher Education Department to JKPSC for holding back the selection procedure, as the recruitment rules would be finalized by the Higher Education Department.
