NEED FOR MODIFIED RECRUITMENT AND CAREER PLAN
Deficiencies in existing structure Group ‘B’ selections yield fewer meritorious and young candidates Stagnation in Group ‘B’ before regular induction in Group ‘A’ – average of 10 years Career aspirations of neither segment (DR and promotee) are met with former stagnating in SAG and latter retiring in SS/JAG/SG
Railways – Career and Recruitment Plan Jitendra Singh, Adviser/IRPOF
ACTION PLAN Rationalisation of Group ‘B’ Selections • Changing the ratio of selection and LDCE from
70:30 to 30:70 with 30% selections based on seniority with rejection of unfit.
Fixing the intake at different levels• Intake in Group ‘B’ will be 800 per year
(existing 650)
• Direct Recruitment to Jr. Scale(Gr. ‘A’) to be reduced from 411 per year to 130
• Induction of Group ‘B’ officers into Group ‘A’ to be fixed at 390 per year (existing 411)
