Circular Subject
Eligibility for promotion to JA grade on adhoc basis.

Reference CLW’s letter No. GMA/5B/Mech dated 28.1.2011 on the subject mentioned above. The issue raised therein has been considered.
Instructions were issued vide Board’s letter No. E (Trg) 97(22)/3 dated 22.6.98 stipulating that Group ‘A’ officers are required to attended certain mandatory programme at different stages of their career.
Subsequently it was also clarified vide Board’s letter No. E(Trg) 97(22)/3 dated 12.11.98 and 27.5.2002 that officers promoted should be sent for attending the programme after conformation from the CTIs concerned regarding availability of seats.
These instructions should be strictly followed to ensure that all Group ‘A’ officers attend the prescribed mandatory programme prior to promotion to certain grades. It has also to be ensured that all officers, who have been promoted without attending the prescribed mandatory programme, attend the programme, even though they are already working in the grade for several years.
