Private School Association Rajouri Opposes PWSNAT-2026 Order, Seeks Immediate Withdrawal

The Private School Association Rajouri has strongly opposed the recent order issued by the School Education Department regarding the dissemination and promotion of the Physics Wallah National Scholarship Test (PWSNAT-2026) among students of Classes 7th to 12th in Jammu Province.
Association President Abdul Rauf Dar, along with Senior Vice President Lokesh Bakshi and District General Secretary Kanav Badyal, while addressing a press conference have appealed to the School Education Department to immediately withdraw/cancel the order. The Association also urged the department not to issue such directions to private schools in the future.
The Association has called for a neutral approach by the department and urged authorities to avoid issuing instructions that could facilitate the promotion of private coaching institutes or scholarship programmes within school premises.
The order, issued by the Joint Director, School Education Jammu, directs Chief Education Officers and Heads of Institutions to disseminate information about PWSNAT-2026 among students. It also mentions scholarships, cash rewards, free education and accommodation, school-wise felicitation and other benefits associated with the test.
The Private School Association Rajouri has urged the authorities to reconsider the order in the larger interest of private educational institutions and students and ensure that no such promotional directions are issued to schools in the future.
The Association further expressed concern that sharing students' data with private coaching centres could expose students and parents to promotional approaches. It alleged that coaching centres may try to influence or persuade students and their parents to enrol in coaching programmes by using scholarships as an incentive, potentially leading to financial exploitation of unsuspecting families.
The Association appealed to the School Education Department to withdraw the order and maintain a clear distinction between school education and the promotion of private coaching programmes.
This version is better for Facebook because it clearly attributes the allegation to the Association rather than presenting it as an established fact.

Congress leader Dheeraj Sharma criticized the BJP, saying that politics should not be played over the Mini Secretariat project. , Rajouri MLA Iftikhar Ahmed fuilfilled long-pending demand of Rajouri.
