In terms of provision contained in para 204.9 of IREM VOL, formulation of panels for Group ‘B’ posts through Selections should consist of employees who have qualified in the said Selection and it should correspond to the number of vacancies for which the Selection was held. Similarly, in the case of Panels formed through LDCEs, names of candidates are arranged in the order of merit on the basis of total marks secured by them in commensuration with the number of vacancies.
2. Now one of the Federations (N.F.I.R.) has asked for adopting guidelines issued by DOP&T for formation of ‘extended Panels’ for Group ‘B’ posts. The matter has been considered and it has been decided that ‘Extended Panels (EP)’ may be formed for Selections and LDCEs held for promotion to Group ‘B’ posts to the extent of officials getting empanelled to Group ‘B’ posts but retiring in the vacancy cycle itself.
Illustration:
