2. All regular employees working in the lower grades or same grade (except from Safety posts to non-safety posts), irrespective of the cadre in which they are working, possessing the prescribed educational qualifications for direct

recruitment are eligible to appear in this examination.

3. This channel as well as the channel ofLDCE can be availed by the young, talented and qualified staff working in lower grades for fast track progression to higher grades.

4. It has been noticed that a large number of vacancies in the Railways remain unfilled and the railways are not making timely use of the scheme of GDCE and LDCE for filling up vacancies, which is adversely affecting the

motivation of the employees.

5. It is reiterated that Railways should ensure making use of these schemes liberally to fill up the vacancies timely by chalking out suitable action plan for the same.
