Hii admin,

I am working in grade pay of 4600 in the payband 9300 - 34800, since jan 2012. So, what is the minimum period of service required to be elegible to take LDCE (30% departmental exam). I have heard that in case of Sr. Section Engineers (that is GP 4600) the minimum period of service is 3 years instead of 5 years.. Please furnish any information in this regard, If anyone have it.

Thanks
