23/11/2025
Kargil, November 23 (KIP)-The District Administration of Kargil successfully conducted a major, transparent, and fair examination for various District Cadre posts at the Higher Secondary level today, marking a significant step in the local recruitment process.
The examination saw a high turnout of aspirants across the district. A total of 86.76 percent of the registered candidates appeared for the test.
The massive exercise was facilitated across 28 centers in total. This included 27 centers located strategically within Kargil town and its suburbs, and one dedicated center at the Government Degree College, Zanskar, to ensure accessibility for candidates from that region.
The District Administration implemented stringent security and logistical arrangements to guarantee the integrity of the process. Essential measures like biometric entry, installation of frisking gates, and continuous CCTV surveillance across all examination halls were put in place to prevent malpractice.
To maintain the confidentiality of the exam, sealed boxes containing question papers and Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheets were dispatched from a secure Strong Room. These materials were escorted by Magistrates to their respective centers and, immediately following the examination, were safely escorted back to the Strong Room for secure custody and future evaluation.
The Administration undertook extensive logistical planning and coordination to support the smooth conduct of the exam. In the leadership of Senior Superintendent of Police, Kargil, Nitin Yadav, the Ladakh Police and Traffic Police, managed smooth traffic flow on routes leading to and near the examination centers to prevent delays or congestion.
In coordination with the local transport associations, the Administration also ensured the availability of adequate transportation facilities for the candidates.
To prevent any form of misconduct, the Administration imposed Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). This prohibitory order strictly bans the assembly of people near the examination centers, thereby thwarting any attempts at copying, canvassing, lobbying, or other forms of misconduct during the examination hours.
Senior administrative officers conducted surprise inspections across the centers to oversee the arrangements firsthand. Deputy Commissioner of Kargil and Chairman of the Kargil Subordinate Services Recruitment Board (KSSRB), Rakesh Kumar, along with Senior Superintendent of Police, Nitin Yadav and Secretary DSSRB, Janangeer Akhone, personally visited several examination centers. They confirmed that all arrangements were meticulously adhered to and that the examination was being conducted in an orderly and proper manner.
Another team comprised of Chief Controller Examination, Iftikhar Hussain; Member KSSRB/ADC, Imteeaz Kacho; and Nominated member LAHDC, Dr. Gulzar Hussain also visited the examination centres.
The Administration had also formed five flying squads to conduct surprise visits at the centres to maintain integrity of the examination. In addition, Independent Observor, General Observor and other officials also ensured proper conduct of the examination.
The successful completion of this large-scale examination underscores the UT Ladakh and Kargil District Administration's commitment to ensuring fair, equitable, and merit-based recruitment for government posts in the region.
