BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL, demanding to grant lesser qualifying marks to the ST candidates, who appeared in the JE LICE, held on 28.01.2018.

Accepting the demand of BSNLEU, the Management has issued letter, granting relaxation to the minimum qualifying marks of the candidates who appeared in the JE LICE, held on 28-01-2018. Vide BSNL Corporate Office letter no.7-2/2017-Rectt. dated 31.08.2018, Management relaxed the minimum qualifying marks for General and OBC candidates from 30% to 20%. For SC candidates, the marks were relaxed from 20% to 15% . However, in the case of ST candidates, the Management did not grant any relaxation. As per the DoT letter no.22-5/91-NCG dated 30.11.92, the results of the ST candidates, who have secured at least 15% marks in each paper are to be reviewed. In effect, the Management has not given any relaxation to the ST candidates. This tantamounts to a discrimination. Hence, BSNLEU has written to the CMD BSNL, demanding to grant a lesser qualifying marks to the ST candidates who appeared in the JE LICE, held on 28-01-2018.
