Dresser: RBE No.13/2017 – Dresser Gr-III/OTA Gr-III

No.E(NG)I-2000/PM10/2, dated 17.02.2017

Sub: Filling up of posts of Dresser Gr-III/OTA Gr-III PB-1 Rs.5200-20200 + GP Rs.1900 (Level-2) in the Medical Department.

1. Reference Board’s letter of even number dated 03.05.2016 (RBE No.45/2016) which provides that 50% vacancies in the category of Dresser Gr-III/OTA Gr-III in GP Rs.1900 (Level-2) may be filled from amongst those Hospital Attendants who are having the qualification of Matriculation (10th pass) as per the extent procedure content in Railway Board’s letter No.PC-V/98/I/11/18(A), dated 10.05.1998 (RBE No.100/1998).

2. A doubt which has arisen as to whether only Hospital Attendants and not other erstwhile Group ‘D’ categories as mentioned below are eligible to appear in the selection. In terms of provision contained in para 182 of IREM (Vol-I) all Railway servants employed in Hospital like Hospital Attendants, Orderlies, Dispensary Peon, Stretcher Bearer, Watchmen, Safaiwalas or Sanitary Cleaners etc. should be eligible for promotion as Dresser and Laboratory Attendants. For this purpose the eligible Railway servants should be screened by holding a suitable test to determine whether they are educationally up to the required standard and have the necessary aptitude. The Railway servants considered suitable should be given training as may be necessary which they should successfully complete before they are finally promoted.

3. The matter has been examined and it is clarified that in partial modification of Board’s letter under reference, all the erstwhile Group ‘D’ categories like Hospital Attendants, Orderlies, Dispensary Peons, Stretcher Bearers, Watchman, Safaiwalas or Sanitary Cleaners etc. which are eligible otherwise in terms of para 182 of IREM (Vol-I) will continue to be eligible to appear in the selection for promotion as Dresser Gr-III/OTA Gr-III along with Hospital Attendants against 50% vacancies.
