Kargil/ Dec. 16/ News Desk/ Deputy Commissioner Kargil, Baseer ul Haq Choudhary in a written communique to the Commissioner Secretary Ladakh raised the demand to open examination centers of various professional and academic examinations at Kargil.

The DC put up the issue on Wednesday when the Students’ Educational Movement of Kargil (SEMOK) in a letter to the DC demanded opening of the examination centers.

“… due to the non-availability of examination centers of all the above mentioned (SSC, NEET, JEE, AIEEE, NET, GATE, IBPS, UPSC, IIT-JAM etc) causes greater hindrance to get their talent competed, as it is not possible to everyone to travel other cities like Srinagar, Leh, Jammu or anywhere else” for appearing in exams. The letter also cited an instance where a “brilliant” student had lost his life in an accident on the way back to home after attending NET examination at Leh.
