Sub: Increasing promotion quota percentage for Technician III posts in Diesel/ Electric Loco/ EMU sheds on Indian Railways from existing 20% to 25%.
1. Attention is invited to Para 159 of Indian Railway Establishment Manual Vol-I, 2009 (reprint edition), emphatically towards procedure prescribed for Diesel/ Electric Loco/ EMU Sheds, which is filled hitherto by:-
(i) 60% plus shortfall, if any, against LDCE quota as at (ii) below by selection from course completed Act Apprentices, and ITI passed candidates in relevant trades from the open market; serving employees who are “course completed Act Apprentice” or ITI qualified would be considered against this quota allowing age relaxation as applicable to serving employees; and
(ii) 20% from serving Semi-skilled and unskilled staff with educational qualification as laid down in Apprentices Act; and
(iii) 20% by promotion of staff in the lower grade as per the prescribed procedure.
2. Consequent to up-gradation of required minimum educational qualification to Matriculation and demand raised by General Secretary/NFIR for increasing the promotion quota, the matter has been examined by the Board keeping in view the changed scenario and it has been decided that henceforth posts of Skilled Artisans in Diesel/ Electric Loco/ EMU Sheds may be filled as under:-
(i) 50% plus shortfall, if any, against LDCE quota as at (ii) below by selection from course completed Act Apprentices, and ITI passed candidates in relevant trades from the open market; serving employees who are “course completed Act Apprentices” or ITI qualified could be considered against this quota allowing age relaxation as applicable to serving employees; and
(ii) 25% from serving Semi-skilled and unskilled staff with educational qualification as laid down in Apprentices Act; and
(iii) 25% by promotion of staff in the lower grade as per prescribed procedure.
3. Accordingly Para 159 of Indian Railway Establishment Manual, Vol-I, 2009 (reprint edition) is amended so far concerned with filling up the posts of Diesel/ Electric Loco/ EMU Sheds as per ACS No.231 enclosed herewith.
