Counting of Training period for IPO Examination - Clarification
Whether
training period counted for IPO examination?
Answer is
YES.
Government
of India’s Orders No. 16 below FR. 9(6) reads:
Period of
training before appointment to be treated as ‘duty’ for eligibility to sit for
departmental examinations:
It has been decided that in all cases
where pre-service training is considered necessary before actual appointment to
the post, the period spent by an officer on training immediately before such
appointment would count as qualifying service for the purpose of eligibility
for appearing in Departmental examinations, even if the officer is not given
the scale of pay of the post but only a nominal allowance.
Hence the candidates are requested to
submit their application before the last date (30.09.2016) mentioning the
period of training in the application form.
