Clarification about educational qualification – Ex-servicemen candidates in Railway Services.

G.I., Min. of Railways, Railway Board Letters, No.E(NG)II/2014/RR-1/3, dt.27.4.2015

Sub: Clarification about educational qualification – Ex-servicemen candidates.

This has reference to letter No. RRB/Bhopal/Panel/139 dated 26/8/2013 seeking clarification whether as Ex-serviceman with 15 years active service in the Armed Force with matriculation will be considered eligible to apply for the post for which the minimum qualification is University Degree provided the relevant certificate issued by the Military authority is attached with the application.

The issue has been examined in consultation with M/o Human Resource Development and Directorate General Resettlement, M/o Defence and it is clarified that:-

(a) For appointment to any reserved vacancy in Group C posts, a matriculate Ex-serviceman (which includes an ex-serviceman who has obtained the Indian Army Special Certificate of Education or the corresponding certificates in the Navy or the Air Force), who has put in not less than 15 years of service in the Armed Forces of the Union may be considered eligible for appointment to the posts for which the essential educational qualification prescribed is graduation and where,

(b) Work experience of technical or professional nature is not essential; or

(c) Though non-technical professional work experience is prescribed as essential yet the appointing authority is satisfied that the ex-servicemen is expected to perform the duties of the post by undergoing on the job training for a short duration.

(d) For appointment to any reserved vacancy in Group C and Group D posts, where the prescribed minimum educational qualification is matriculation, the appointing authority may at his discretion relax the minimum educational qualifications in favour of an exserviceman who has passed the Indian Army Class-I Examination or equivalent examination in the Navy or the Air Force and who has put in at least 15 years service in the Armed Forces of the Union and is otherwise considered fit to hold the post, in view of his experience and other qualifications.

    Sir, I am KN Singha, retired as Hony Lt from the Indian Navy on completion of 37 years of service. My education qualification during my joining into the service is IX pass, however, I cleared Higher Education test during my service, which is educationally qualified for getting commissioned rank into Indian navy and it’s also clearly mentioned into the certificate that ” exempted from matriculation “. So then my question is that ” what equivalent civil certificate I should get from the Indian Navy during my retirement and what is the GOI authority.

      The reserved vacancy post Group C & D is sufficient education is matriculation passed or Indian Army class I exam with atleast 15 years experience or as mensioned in para (d) so the percentage of grade of marks in matriculation is sufficient.. While the interview you can submit your graduation certificate.

No Mark Sheet is issued by Army, Air Force or Navy. But in application portal percentage of marks is asked. Without filling Percentage of marks application is not being accepted.

    Why the organisations asking about the Graduation equivalent certificate issued by Air Force/Army/Navy should be signed on or before a particular date once the candidate is already completed 15 years of service in the time of filling online application or before that. One of my friend is completed more than 20 years of service and cleared the Ban clerk examination but he was not selected due to the Graduation equivalent certificate and the provisional certificate both were signed after the last date of online submission of the application. But the service length is already crossed 20 years.

But while filling the application forms for the civil services, where the qualification required is graduation or B’tech’, there is column for requirement of marks and percentage obtained and the software does not accept any qualification without marks/percentage.
