  • A  suitability  test  should  be  held  at  the  interval  which  should  not  be  less  than  six  months.  If  an  employee  fails  in  a  suitability  test  but  passes  a subsequent test after a gap of six months,  he  should  be  given  preference  over  his  junior  who  had  passed  the  suitability  test  earlier  than  him  but  is  still  waiting  to  be  promoted  for  want  of  a  vacancy. (Ref 2 & 5)
