Dear Comrade,

On Departmental Examination

The ITEF representatives met DG(Admn) on 13th to discuss and finalize the examination related

issues. After detailed discussion, the DG agreed to place the following proposal before the Board.

1. Ministerial Staff Examination: The Exam will be conducted under the old pattern in this year. The ITEF suggestion on the new pattern will be further discussed and finality reached before 2011 Examination.

2. Inspectors and ITOs Exams : Either one more chance will be given to all candidates who are to clear two subject or less under old pattern

OR

All those who have written the Exam under the old pattern will be allowed to retain exemption to those papers, which they have cleared. In other words they will have to clear the uncleared papers. ie the identical papers in the new syllabus with the condition stipulated under old rules.

On getting Board's approval, necessary steps will be taken by the Directorate to receive revised applications etc. If necessary, the exam will be postponed for Inspectors and ITOs.

Copy of our letter handed over to DG on the basis of which discussions took place is enclosed.

With greetings

Yours fraternally

Dear Sir.

Sub: Departmental Examination 2010-.

This is with reference to the discussions we had with you on 30.06.2010 on the above subject. During the discussions, it was indicated that Departmental Examinations 2010 are to be held under the new pattern and the request for having the examination on both the pattern as was done last year may not be possible in the case of Inspectors and ITOs examination. We were in that context, asked to elucidate the alternative suggestion of granting exemption to those candidates who had passed certain papers under the old patterns and are to take up examination only in those papers which are not cleared. Our suggestion in the matter is as under:-

ITOs Examination

Those who are yet to clear the following The paper they should clear under

Papers in old patterns new patterns­­­_________________

1. IT Law-I & II Paper-I :- Income Tax Law and Other Taxes

2. Other Taxes Paper-III:- Allied Laws

3. Book Keeping Paper-II:- Advanced Accountancy

4. Office Procedure Office Procedure Paper of Inspectors Examination or a separate paper [objective] prepared separately for the purpose.

5. Examination of Accounts (Practical Test) The concerned CIT(Exam) may be asked to conduct this examination for the candidates who have not cleared this paper. No paper is required to be set up for this by the Directorate.

6. Hindi/Oral Test The CIT(Exam) in respective charge may be asked to take this examination locally. No paper need be set by the Directorate.

Inspectors Examination

1. IT Law-I & II IT Law and Computation

2. Book Keeping Book Keeping

3. Other Taxes Allied Taxes

4. Office Procedure Office Procedure

5. Examination of Accounts The CIT(Exam) in respective charge may be asked to take this examination locally. No paper need be set by the Directorate

6. Hindi Test

The CIT(Exam) in respective charge may be asked to take this examination locally. No paper need be set by the Directorate.

The candidates who are given exemption from writing the paper passed under the old scheme may have to pass the examination with minimum percentage of marks 50(45 in the case of SC/ST candidates) as was the case under the old scheme.

If our above proposal is agreed upon, there may not arise any requirement for conducting examination under the old pattern for ITOs and ITIs.

Ministerial Staff Examination

Under the old pattern there had been four papers which now form part of the two papers under the new patterns. Therefore it would be difficult to make out an alternative suggestions.. Therefore we suggest that the examination both under old and new pattern may be conducted this year.

If that be not the case then the alternative suggestion can only be the following

1) To split the Paper-I into two i.e.

a) Précis writing and drafting

b) Computer Basics

Computer Basics test be conducted only after imparting training especially when question are to be set in AST or ITD application. We therefore suggest that this being a practical

paper, the examination may be conducted locally by the CIT(Exam) after mounting a training programme of say a month or two. The candidates who are deployed for training will be subjected to the test at the conclusion of the training and failure therein will make them ineligible for promotion as they may not be declared to have passed/cleared the Ministerial Staff Examination. In that case those who have failed to clear Paper-I under old syllabus can be asked to take Paper-I under the new syllabus.

In the case of those who are to clear Service Rules (Paper – II) under old pattern and those who are to clear Office Procedure (Paper-III) under the old pattern may be asked to clear only that part in Paper-II under the new pattern which deals with the F.R, S.R and Taxation procedure etc. i.e. they may have to take up Part-A of Paper-II under the new scheme.

Those who have failed in Paper –IV may be asked to write Part-II of Paper-II under the new pattern. But with a condition that they have to secure 50% (45% in case of SC/ST candidates).

In respect of Hindi paper, the CIT(Exam) of each charge may be asked to conduct the said examination for those who has not qualified earlier under the old pattern.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Ashok Salunkhe

Secretary General
