Kotli (Azadi Times Representative): The Azad Kashmir Public Service Commission has issued a notification regarding a new policy, which includes the decision to eliminate academic marks from the merit system. Only the marks from the written exam and interview will be included in the merit calculation, while academic marks will no longer be considered.
According to the notification, the merit will be determined based on the marks obtained in the screening test and interview. The number of marks for the screening MCQ test has been increased from 50 to 70, replacing the previous allocation of 20 marks for academic qualifications.
The interview will still carry 30 marks as before, bringing the total to 100 marks. The merit will now be based solely on the marks obtained in the written exams and the interview. The number of interview marks has been increased from 80 to 100. This new policy will be implemented immediately.
