1. The Staff side have demanded in the DC-JCM vide Item No.45/ 2004 that in the selections for promotion within Gr. ‘C’ the question paper for the written examination held as part of the selection process should have practical bias and instructions to that effect should be issued to Zonal Railways on the lines of instructions issued for selection held for promotion to Group ‘B’.

2. The matter has been carefully considered by the Board and it has been decided that question paper for the written test held as part of selection/ LDCE for promotion within Gr. ‘C’ should have practical bias i.e. they should be designed to test the ability of the candidates to tackle the practical problems they are likely to face rather than their theoretical knowledge.
