(RAILWAY BOARD)
No.E(NG)I-2004/PM5/8 New Delhi, dated 28 .06.2006
The General Managers (P)
All Indian Railways and PUs.
(As per standard list)
Sub:- Avenue of promotion of Artisan Staff in Works department
to the posts of Junior Engineer(Works)II-introduction of
Inter Apprentice quota.
As the Railways are aware on the demand of federation in the PNM-NFIR for
improvement in the avenue of promotion of Artisan Staff subsequent to the upgradation of the
posts of erstwhile supervisors as JE-II the erstwhile 7.5% LDCE quota in the category of
JE(Works)-II in the pay scale of Rs.5000-8000 was enhanced to 10% vide instructions contained
in this Ministry’s letter of even number dt.14.07.2005 forwarding therewith ACS No.174 amending
the Indian Railway Establishment Manual, Vol. I, 1989. However, the federation have stated that
this decision does not help in improving the promotional opportunities of Technicians in the Works
Branch wherein staff with prescribed direct recruitment qualification for the post of JE(Works)-II are
not available. The federation have requested that either the scheme of Intermediate Apprentices in
lieu of LDCE may be introduced in Works Branch as is already in vogue in Mechanical, Electrical
and S&T departments or the eligibility against 25% quota earmarked for promotion by selection in
the post of JE(Works)-II may be extended to the staff working as Technicians Gr.II & Gr.III.
2. The matter has been reviewed by the Board who have decided as under:-
(i) Inter-Apprentice quota may be introduced in lieu of existing 10% LDCE quota.
However, since there may not be adequate staff in Skilled grades fulfilling the
educational qualifications of ITI/Act Apprenticeship or 10+2 in Science Stream
prescribed for Inter-Apprentice quota, to begin with the quota may be fixed at 15%
instead of 25% or 20% in vogue in Mechanical/Electrical and S&T departments.
(ii) However, in view of implications involved it is not possible to allow Technicians
Gr.II and Gr.III to appear in the Selection for promotion against 25% quota.

henceforth be as under:-

grades in Works Branch having the qualification of ITI/Act Apprenticeship pass or
10+2 in Science Stream with three years service in skilled grades and upper age limit
not exceeding 45 years; and,
(iii) 25% by promotion by selection from amongst Sr. Technicians including
Technicians Gr.I who may be senior to Sr. Technician by virtue of operation of earlier
scheme in which the post of Sr. Technician (erstwhile MCM) was treated as personal
to incumbent. In the event of adequate number not being found from amongst these
staff eligibility may be extended to cover other Technicians Gr. I also.
