Sir I have a question. 

If a SC/ST candidate promoted on their own merit taking the facilities of age relaxation, should he/she adjusted against unreserved points?

whereas it is discussed that " SC/ST candidates promoted on their merit without availing relaxation will be shown against unreserved posts. Such candidates shall be adjusted against unreserved points.He will retain SC/ST status and will be elligible to get benefit of reservation in future promotion"

Pls view & comment on this.......

plz,guide me regarding the mentioned issue that,my service record was not updated with my degree qualification(pursued thro distance education after joining service),when i applied for welfare inspector post thro departmental quot exam,i enclosed my certificates -attested copies along with application and submitted for personal branch,but its declared as not eligable for exam since qualification is not recorded in SR, It is informed that pursuing degree without NOC from department is not valid to get entries in service record
