Comments
This should be applicable invariably to all employees who take necessary prior permission from the concerned Dept.for pursuing such higher qualification.
Such employees should be considered for promotion in the vaccancies meant for Limited Dept.Competetive Exam (by exempting them from appearing the Lmited Dept Comp. Exam), or otherwise for out of turn promotion, where LDCE is absent.
The practice of ganting incentive for acquiring higer qualification should be limited to cases where such qualification has no immediate relevance to the present nature of Job of the Employee.
with regards,
S.Suresh Kumar.
