Demand for holding the Departmental LICE Examination for JEs to the post of Senior Executive Trainee – BSNLEU writes to Director (HR) for immediate intervention.

The Corporate Office has issued a notification for Direct Recruitment to the cadre of Senior Executive Trainee (SET), exclusively for external candidates possessing Graduate Engineering qualifications. However, the Management has not taken any decision regarding the Departmental LICE for Junior Engineers (JEs) for the same SET cadre. Today, BSNLEU has written a letter to the Director (HR) demanding immediate action to conduct the LICE for the post of Senior Executive Trainee, so that the Graduate Engineers working in the JE cadre are also given the rightful opportunity to become Senior Executive Trainees within BSNL. BSNLEU has firmly asserted that denying internal candidates their promotional avenue, while opening recruitment only for outsiders, is unjust and demotivating. The union has urged the Management to release the notification for LICE without delay.
