J&K SSB refuses to accept distance education degrees
State Service Selection Board has refused to accept degrees obtained from universities outside the state under distance education due to which the future of hundreds of degree holders is at stake and risks the career of candidates in future.
STATE SERVICE Selection Board has refused to accept degrees obtained from universities outside under distance education due to which the future of hundreds of degree holders is at stake and risks the career of candidates in future. However, government indicated that the candidates obtained degrees by 2009 from non-state universities through distance education system would be considered as exceptional.
Service Selection Board issued notification on November 12 under ad No. 07 of 2010 by the Department of Education to fill the vacant teacher position, in which only Kashmir University, Jammu University, IGNOU, Maulana Azad National Urdu University and DOEACC degrees have been mentioned as valid and has refused to accept degrees under distance mode pursued form outside state.
The fate of thousands of students who have already completed their degrees or are enrolled in courses run by study centres of outside Universities now hang in doldrums.
“University recognised by UGC, stand automatically recognised for the purpose of employment if approved by Distance Education Council (DEC) throughout the country including state of Jammu and Kashmir (Gazette of India 8th April 1995 MHRD Govt. of India) published in Greater Kashmir 18th. Sep-2008/Rising Kashmir/State Times/Kashmir Times etc where was the J&K Government when such notifications, advertisements, Articles where seen in leading news papers of Jammu and Kashmir”, said Nazir Ahamed, a student.
“Why anyone from the state government was not coming forward to close these study centres, why any action was not taken against persons who running such centres in the state?” he questioned.
According to UGC notification all the degrees awarded through distance mode should be accepted as equivalent to Regular degrees if approved by DEC for running programmes in distance mode. Universities can also run some of the Science/Technical/Professional courses through distance mode if approved by joint committee UGC-AICTE-DEC.
The Distance Education Council accords recognition to the Universities / Institutions to offer programmes through Distance Mode and it is for the Statutory bodies of the Universities / Institutions concerned to decide what programmes to be offered through distance mode.
Joint committee in its 35th meeting decided territorial jurisdiction for distance education programmes.
The council ruled that distance education and on-line education cannot be restricted to territorial jurisdiction. In the case of central and state universities the territorial jurisdiction will be adhered to as per the act, statutes and distance education regulations of the respective universities for all their programmes.
“If universities of Jammu and Kashmir are recognised by same UGC/AICTE/DEC and are member of same AIU than how their degree is valid and those who have acquired degrees through outside universities is invalid. We have done degrees from UGC/AICET/DEC /AIU approved universities” said Hilal Ahmad.“If there was any logical reason to ban degrees obtained from distance education or study centres of outside universities In Jammu and Kashmir then why the authorities never come up with such notification before, he added.
The recognition policy of the DEC says in its clause (v) regarding the territorial jurisdiction. The distance education council has decided not to insist on territorial jurisdiction to be followed by institutions in offering programmes through distance and on-line modes and on that matter, universities should be governed by their own acts and status and in clause (vi). Approvals to study centres: the DEC does not consider giving approvals to study centres of any distance education institution as opening of study centres and regional centres is an internal policy matter of the institution/ university concerned, as per the provision in their own act /statutes.
“Why SSRB, School Education Department, PSC accepted all the degrees through distance mode, interviewed them and recruited many among them in different Govt. Department’s till end of 2009.Till end of 2009 PSC/SSRB used to say that we accept all the degrees through distance mode why the deceived many students. What about those students who were in a big Hope that their degrees are valid by SSRB, PSC, School Education Department and other Recruiting Agencies” said a group of non-state degree holders.
Many students said that the State Govt must consider all candidates who have either completed or already enrolled in such centres before July 2009.
Reports said that Numbers of students who have acquired their degrees have moved to High Court for justices.
A group of students asked, “There are limited seats in universities of Jammu and Kashmir some of the students have resources they go outside for regular education but some have limited resources they choose the way of Distance Education There are many courses which are not offered by universities of Jammu and Kashmir, IGNOU, DOEACC there remains no option for the students to get admission through Outside Universities”.

It is a matter of concerned that the study centres which are playing a vital role in today's education system have been banned by the Govt. of J&K.
Even though lakhs of students have completed their degree courses from these centres. Among these students quite a good number of students are working with reputed companies at top positions due to their knowledge and confidence...
So it is burning issue that why J&K govt. is not assuming these students at par with Jammu University students. It is quite amazing that these study centres are acceptable throughout the whole country than why not in Jammu.
Even if govt. is seriously considering this issue than why it has not banned these centres properly yet or impose any penalty on these centres.
Why should students suffer due to the non clear policies of the govt. atleast the students which have seek admission in these degree courses till last year should be given proper recognition and affiliation. So that their career is not spoiled and they can make proper use of their degrees...

In the kashmir university there is limited seats available but students are more...the students wants to go outside the state to make their future..then why the SSB cancel those degrees who had done outside.in the kashmir there is already unemployement.then the kashmir university must open more and more camps for the students that they can not go to other state.Degree from outside or in kashmir dosn't matter.SSB selection sould be based on the entrence test to hire the capable student.

There is definitely a mistake from the part of concerned authorities but these degree holdersdistanceshow more than percent marks hence totally reduces the chances for regular dedree holders in coming into the selection listI think there should be a test for these distance degree holders upto a certain period say and in future these degrees should be totally not accepted

BALVINDER SINGH
THIS IS THE WRONG DECISION BY J&K GOVT.
Riyaz Ahmad
It is wrong to say that due to limited resources some students decided to continue their studies through Distance mood from out sode universities,but the fact is that such Study centers are run by cheeters and students obtained Degrees through the centers deposited at least Rs 50000/=each student. They were also allowed to copy in so called examination centers.

I AM ALWAYS WITH THE STUDENTS OF WHO WERE OBATAINED THEIR DEGREES THROUGH PTU SMU AND VARIOUS OTHER UNIVERSITES WHO ARE RUNNING THEIR STUDY CENTERS IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR AND JAMMU UNIVERSITY AND KASMIR UNIVERSITY SSB PSC HAVE NO RIGHT TO INVAID THOSE DEGRES WHO ARE OBATAINED THIER DEGREES THROGH STUDY CENTERS
sunil sharma
This is very good decision by SSB.Thestudy centres have become a shop in the state and selling degree with very high percentage(90%).As the selection is totally based on percentage ,so the future of deserving students is at stake due to the students purchasing degrees from these study centres.
kashish
I agree
Bilal
To all those decievers who have decieved at this occasion has to pay we people. Terrorism has not yet shut off we people (degrees obtained from universities outside under distance education ) can do a lot. We are near about 257 students whose future is suppose to vanish/spoil by SSB, PSC and Kashmir university will not be forgiven at any how, who ever will be there also leading to there relatives. Be ready for the battle (SSB and PSC and also Kashmir university) you all wont be live now more. For J & K

This is the right decision on SSB to reject the distance mode of outside state. Suggest me what is the future of IT Engineer (Network or Network Security) in J&K State.

Govt. should accept degrees obtained through Distance mode from out side state of j&k.
If they have any kind of hesitation then they should go for examination of the concerned students including students who have got degrees from recognised university of the j&k state through distance mode.
Zaid
does SSB treat DOEACC "A" LEVEL equivalent to BCA. and doeacc"B" level equivalent to MCA.
stanzin
this is not a rite action that out side distance education is not consider as an valid degree,,,,what to do whit the student who so ever done their degree from other distance education,,,,all those who done their degree done from outside thay have their own prospective reason,,,like some subject which is not offered by jammu and kashmir university,,,,,,so jammu and kashmir must need to accept the other university degree holder specially distance education........

according Kashmir Uzma urdu news paper dated:4th of Jan. 2011 J&K education Minister said all universities through distance or regular universities the degree are valid but in govt. service all university students qualify the entrance test for govt. services or jobs. because he say if i objection of out state university degree but courts are challenges of this objection so that we are not valid person to objection on out state universities because all universities are recognized by UGC and DEC. so that we thanks to that minister to clarify this matter.

zaffar
this is the time to get united and contact the diffrent student organiszations and raise the voice against this unlawful decision. give your contact no.s when you post any comment so we come closed to each other
Jagbir
This is not fare, sheer monopoly, playing with the careers of the students.
Why IGNOU and DOEACC have given privilege, best known to them ???
Its amazing no body is raising the issue even the student organizations like... ABVP, JJSF, Sangarsh etc.!!!
Another feather added by the SSB in its latest notification of Teachers/ Account Assistants, endorsing the decision, means the degrees/ Diplomas through Distance mode other than IGNOU/DOEACC, is not valid for Govt. jobs also.
Everyone concerned has to come forward to unitedly protest against this unlawful decision in J&K.
Mir Muzamil
It is one of the most important and reasonable decision in favour of the students who work hard .I have studied in KU,IGNOU & DOEACC.The different universities which offer distance education I as a student of these prestagious univesities challange there standard.There students know nothing about whatever they had studied.I dont know where from there percentages come.They know nothing about whatever is in there syllbus.But unfortunately has influenced the future of hundreds of efficient students in the past years. Now it is an appreciable decision to ban there illegel degrees.
Mushtaq
hI Every body
State govt Should accept degrees of DEP students who are enrolled or have completed their and should close these studv centers
thanks
