During the DC/JCM meeting held on 27th & 28th August 2009, the Federation pointed out that Safety category staff had to secure 60% marks in non-safety subjects when non safety -category staff were required to secure only 50% marks, in non-safety subjects.
It has therefore been decided that only for commercial paper [non-safety] pass marks would be 50% both for Commercial and Operating staff respectively.
All other terms and conditions as stipulated in Board’s letters of even number dated 10.7.03 [RBE No. 122/03] and 03.06.04 [RBE No. 113/04] remain the same.
The Ministry of Railways have decided to modify the Manual on Management of Training [Edition 1998] as per Correction Slip No. 1/2010 enclosed.
