Kohima, May 2 (MExN): All Nagaland Unemployed Diploma Engineers Association (ANUDEA) has stated that The Nagaland Engineering Service Rule 2006, 2012 is silent about the 40 % reservation for Diploma holders, whereas the Nagaland Engineering Service Rule 1997 included in part III under the heading Direct Recruitment (iii) clearly states 40% of the total vacancies being reserved for 3 years diploma certificate holders as indicated in schedule VI of the Rule.
In light of this, ANUDEA President, Sentilo Magh in a letter to the Commissioner & Secretary, Government of Nagaland, Work and Housing Department, Kohima, said that equality and justice is not being given to the diploma holders.
Stating that a diploma holder competing with a degree holder is “quite questionable”, ANUDEA President urged the authority concerned to look into the matter and re-implement the 40% reservation which was earlier included in 1997 Service Rule and not as in 2006 and 2012 Service Rule. “By doing which there can be equal opportunities for the diploma holders as well,” the letter added.
