JKSSRB Under Scanner “Mushtaq Peers wife pursued her M.Sc in Electronics from Kashmir University. Then she was appointed as a college lecturer with political pressure and few years back was posted as a member of SSRB by the ruling coalition,” the source said. “SSRB is a big responsibility because under its supervision the fate of lakhs of students is decided but even that board has become so corrupt that if they have to publish a list of the students who have been selected to any job, phone calls from Unknown numbers were made to the selected students and they were asked to pay Rs 2-5 lakhs for the job for which they have been already selected,” the source said adding “If the candidates failed to pay the amount then the lists would be changed overnight.” Besides doing so many wrongs during his tenure, and before the government gave him the ‘contentious’ out of turn ‘extension’ as ‘Consultant to the State government’ [on fast-track class-4 recruitment], Peer had applied for the post of Vice-Chancellor for Islamic University for Science and Technology. “He was in VC Panel among the 5 probable candidates his serial number was 3,” the source said. Peer has acquired a bungalow at Professor Colony Hazratbal, Including the land on which the bungalow is constructed, in total it’s about 2 Kanals of land worth Rs 3crore.

In the 2012 CET merit list, 20 out of the top 40 selected candidates were found to have paid a bribe in the range of Rs. 10-20 lakh each, before the question papers of the Combined Entrance Test were revealed to them a day before the examination. In the year 2012 alone, The J&K Board of Professional Entrance Examination (BOPEE) was accused of cheating in counseling for Masters in Dental Science (MDS reserved category) course-2012 allotment. According to the aspirants, the counseling committee instead of asking meritorious candidates for their choice of stream did other way around. In these controversial exams, the candidates with 170 marks were asked first to pick the stream of his choice, over the person who had 203 marks. Thus, puncturing the merit. Adding to the worse, following his retirement as BOPEE chairman, Peer’s service was extended on 2 Dec 2012 by making him ‘consultant’ in order to provide consultancy to the government on the proposed fast- track recruitment of class-4 employees, 80,000 in number. His neighbours in professor colony say that the moment Peer was announced as ‘consultant’, hundreds of people used to visit him in his home and also his house was decorated with colorful lights for more than a month. In the first phase as the consultant, the SSRB under supervision of Peer advertised 16,000 job posts for the unemployed youth, mainly as junior assistants, teachers, stock assistants, supervisors and other related jobs. Over 4 lakh youths applied for the jobs and it’s believed that in the recently announced results for the junior assistants, out of 40 posts 16 have been awarded to the candidates belonging to the Chadoora constituency all on the behest of a senior national conference leader. “Just imagine the amount of money being swindled in lieu of providing the jobs to the youth. In this case, candidates who have passed easily the exams conducted under SSRB are being made to pay Rs 2 Lasts,” a source said.
