Update on Dept. Exam issue : Another chance in old pattern or relaxation ?

Update on Agitation :
""CONGRATULATIONS for making today's(15/07/10) STRIKE action a total success. KUDOS to all the units of ITGOA & ITEF across the country for this phenomenal response. The strike has got ample coverage in both print & electronic media.Now, let us hope that better sense will prevail in the CBDT. But we cannot afford to be complacent with today's success. All the unit secretaries are requested to motivate the members of staff & officers of their unit to strictly implement the JCA's call of NON-COOPERATION in Search & Seizure u/s. 132 and Survey u/s. 133A including TDS Survey/Verification/Enquiry by whatever name called, w.e.f 20/07/2010. Further intensification of agitation will be informed by the JCA and let us all resolve to stand up and fight till we achieve our just demands. LONG LIVE ITGOA ; LONG LIVE ITEF ; LONG LIVE JCA"...ITGOA
"The ITEF representatives met DG(Admn) on 13^th to discuss and finalize the examination related

issues. After detailed discussion, the DG agreed to place the following proposal before the Board.

1. Ministerial Staff Examination: The Exam will be conducted under the old pattern in this year. The ITEF suggestion on the new pattern will be further discussed and finality reached before 2011 Examination.

2. Inspectors and ITOs Exams : Either one more chance will be given to all candidates who are to clear two subject or less under old pattern

OR

All those who have written the Exam under the old pattern will be allowed to retain exemption to those papers, which they have cleared. In other words they will have to clear the uncleared papers. ie the identical papers in the new syllabus with the condition stipulated under old rules.

On getting Board's approval, necessary steps will be taken by the Directorate to receive revised applications etc. If necessary, the exam will be postponed for Inspectors and ITOs."
