my question now i am eligible for departments promotions exams
plz reply
what is the promotion time period for the promotion from JE to SE and SE to SSE .. is there any exams to get promotions or it will be based on seniority.
SE and SSE is now merged. That means a person promotes directly from JE to SSE. This promotion is normally seniority-cum-suitability basis. That means Promotion will be based on seniority, but among those who qualify a written selection exam.

Dear sir,
Please tale me the actual posting station of CA. (in major station or minor station)
Thanking you.
Alisha Kumari
It can be any station in your division (major or small)where vacancy exists.
My self presently working as Station Supt ,Other two Dy SS are also working along with me. I fall under SC category , the other two are in General category,In case of appt date both are senior to me by 7 years , and also get emoluments more than mine , But I have been posted as SS of the Station, though both the Dy SS senior to me are handling less responsibilities than me.
The seniormost (in the Grade of SS) will be the in charge of the station. Emolument or date of appointment is not a criteria to determine seniority.
But why I was made the SS as still the senior masters working with me were also eligible for the post.
Among all the persons in SS grade who is senior in the grade of SS? He should be in charge SS. If you are junior in grade SS represent the matter to your higher ups.
