Sub: Maintenance of calendar for selection in various grades.

1. Attention of the Railway Administrations is invited to Board’s letter of even number dated 22.07.1988 (RBE No. 157/1988) regarding maintenance of calendar for selection in various grades. It was indicated therein that the delay in holding supplementary selection should be eliminated. With this end in view, the date on which supplementary selection is to be held should normally be notified and such selections should be held within four weeks time from the date of the screened selection. It was further indicated that the date for supplementary examination (with a gap of 3 to 4 weeks’ time) may also be announced even at the time of notifying the date for the main selection.
2. In the PNM meeting between the Board and the AIRF held on 03/04.11.1988, the Federation expressed the view that there need not be a second supplementary test if such be the intention of Administration. They, however, desired that any order precluding a second supplementary selection would be given effect to only after the instructions contained in Board’s letter of even number, dated 22.07.1988 (RBE No. 157/1988) cited above are fully implemented. They further requested that the instructions in question should be given wide publicity on the Railways.
3. The matter has been considered further by the Board in the light of the above, it has been decided that the instructions contained in Board’s letter of 22.07.1988 (RBE No. 157/1988) cited above should be implemented by the Railway Administration. Once this has been done, the second supplementary test should not be allowed.
4. The Board also desire that the instructions contained in the said letter of 22.07.1988 (RBE No. 157/1988) should be given wide publicity by the Railway Administration.
