Sub: Inserting a general provison in IREM for diversion of unfilled vacancies to LDCE/GDCE or DR quota.

For the last couple of years, this Ministry has been receiving references from Railways to divert unfilled departmental vacancies to direct recruitment on the premise that either interested volunteers are not available or they do not fulfil educational or any other criteria.

2. Existing instructions, for a few categories, provide for adding promotion quota vacancies to Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE) and unfilled LDCE vacancies to direct recruitment.

3. The matter has accordingly been considered and it has been decided that wherever the vacancies remain unfilled in Promotion Quota, the same may be carried forward to LDCE/GDCE, if any, and unfilled vacancies of LDCE/GDCE may be carried forward to direct recruitment quota to next year/next selection. ln case there is no LDCE/GDCE for that post, the unfilled vacancies may be diverted to direct recruitment quota of the upcoming year.

4. A new para bearing number 229 is accordingly inserted in the Indian Railways Establishment Manual, Vol-I, 1989 (First Reprint Edition 2009) as reflected in the ACS No. 227 enclosed.

Please acknowledge receipt of this letter.
