Dear friends, 

Kindly refer Directorate memo No. A-34012/8/2016-DE dated 07th October 2016 conduct of LDCE for promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B from 2012-13 onwards. 

Last date for submission of application form for PS Gr. B examination is 01-11-2016. 

Approved PS Gr.B officer (i.e. regular selected through inter-se-seniority through DPC in the year 2013, 2014 and 2015) may also appear for the eligible year's examination if they are willing.  If they declared successful in the examination, then they will get particular years seniority. While filling the form, they should write specifically the year in which they got regular PS Gr B. In case of rejection of application by DO/RO/CO, they may put representation to DG (Post) through proper channel by email (copy duly signed and scanned). 

All are aware that, due to non holding of PS Gr. B examination since 2013 by Department, aspirant candidates could not attend exam of that particular year and therefore, senior officers  are loosing their seniority. Examination passed candidates are senior to candidates selected through DPC.  

It is learnt from reliable source that, directorate want to conduct PS Gr B  exam any how in this year and therefore there is golden opportunity to approved candidates to appear in the examination for which Directorate is seems to be helpful to us.  

The following vacancies are declared for the examination.
