In this fiercely competitive environment, candidates harbored diverse aspirations upon securing a government job. Some sought to support their families financially, while others aimed to defy social stigmas associated with their chosen fields or the fields in which their interests lie. Some aspired to enhance their eligibility for marriage, while others struggled to align their interests with the limited scope of our education system. The motivations behind these endeavors varied greatly, with many opting for the disturbance free environs in urban setup for exam preparation, given the absence of additional selection criteria such as case the examination for Accounts Assistant of the Finance Department.

While many cases challenging the re-exam were either unheard or pending in court, the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board conducted a re-examination for the post of Accounts Assistant, Finance Department, on January 28, 2024. Yet again, the government's Services Selection Board dishonored the hard work and desires of the candidates by altering the marks weightage scheme of the paper without prior notice and releasing an erroneous answer key, with many claiming that about 1520 questions were either ambiguous or incorrect. Candidates are frustrated with this apparent hegemony and injustice, and there is

How long must unemployed youth bear the costs of court cases? Is this a dignified way of life? Is the system not corrupted? Were 3 years 11 months and 12 days not enough for a Government's Services selection Board to conduct a transparent exam?

Plato once said, "The worst form of injustice is pretended justice." In the face of hopelessness, I implore the Arbabe Ikhtiyar/

The Authorities to address the real problems faced by the youth. While 5G may be deemed important, it pales in comparison to the struggle of those who cannot afford bread for themselves or their families. At the same time I implore my brethren that It's time to break free from the shackles of the faulty education system and societal expectations what Akbar Allahabadi summed up as, "hum kya kahein ahbab kya kaar-e-numaya kar gaye, B.A hue naukar hue pension mili phir mar gaye”.

Let's have the courage to stand

interests, ourselves from this imaginary chain.

With a sense of despair, I raise these questions, hoping for change.
