Ranchi, Nov. 21: Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) Chairman Neeraj Sinha has said that the 1026 Industrial training officers’ job aspirants, whose applications have been rejected on any ground have an option to register an appeal with the commission.

“They will be allowed to take the examination if the reason for rejecting the application is not bonafide,” he said.   Sinha, former Jharkhand DGP, said our general rule is to allow a candidate.

“The Commission has hired a company to hold the examination and has been given a list of the criteria to assess a job aspirant’s candidature. If it is absolutely beyond the rules, then there is no option but to reject one’s application,” he pointed out.

“But every possible effort is made to allow a candidate to take the examination. Only those candidates are not allowed whose applications can’t be accepted under any circumstances,” Sinha maintained.
