DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 18 (MExN): A number of associations have appealed the Nagaland State Government to reconsider the corrigendum related to Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC) advertisement published on October 26, 2016, and to allow the post reserved for Backward Tribes be open to all the candidates based on merit in the upcoming exam.
A joint statement issued by Graduate Electrical Engineers Association (GEEAN), Association Of Mechanical Engineers Nagaland (AMEN), Unemployed Civil Engineers Association Of Nagaland (UCEAN), Forestry Graduate Association Of Nagaland (FGAN), Agriculture Engineers Graduate Association Of Nagaland (AEGAN), All Nagaland Unemployed Veterinary Doctors Association (ANUVDA), Electronics & Communication Engineers Association Nagaland (ECEAN) said the decision as per the NPSC corrigendum where some of the posts have been reserved particularly for a Backward Tribe is affecting the technical graduates of branches like Mechanical Engineering, E&C, IT, CS, Agriculture Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Forestry Graduates.
It went on to state that in some of the branches like Mechanical, E&C, CS and IT there is hardly any advertisement and giving away that one post advertised in the recent NPSC (CTE) to “one particular Backward Tribe cannot be considered fair and transparent enough.”
The associations also reminded that as per the reservation policy order no. RCBT-5/87(pt-II) annexure B-I 125 point rooster table, the first vacancy is reserved for all indigenous inhabitants and only then comes the reservation for Backward Tribe. It also said the order RCBT-5/87(pt-II) nowhere mentions that in case of only one vacancy it should be reserved for a Backward Tribe.
