Part II METHOD OF RECRUITMENT

Statutory text

(1) Recruitment to the Service shall be made:-
- (a) by direct recruitment through competitive examination to the extent of twenty-five per cent of the total number of vacancies: and
- (b) by promotion in respect of the remaining vacancies in a particular year: Provided that where the calculation for direct recruitment gives a fractional figure, the fraction shall be rounded up to the next higher whole number.
(2) Unless otherwise decided, the Government shall normally assess in January each year the number of vacancies in the Service to be filled up during that year. The assessment shall include the vacancies of the preceding year or years for which no recruitment has been made and those likely to occur during the particular year. On the basis of such assessment the Government shall determine the percentage of the vacancies to be filled up by direct recruitment and by promotion under sub-rule (1): Provided that the vacancies meant for direct recruitment in any year shall be filled up by direct recruitment only in subsequent year or years.
(3) Government shall then intimate the Commission requesting to undertake direct recruitment and shall also take steps for referring to the Commission under rule 15 for preparation of a list of suitable officers for promotion for that recruitment year.
(4) Government shall ordinarily submit their proposals for direct recruitment by the end of January and for preparation of the select list for promotion by the end of April as far as possible.
