Officers of 1983, ’84 batches to vie for first IRMS top panel slots: Railways

Days after notifying it, the Railways on Tuesday asked its senior officers to send applications on the panel of Indian Railway Management Service’s Level 16, to be selected from suitable officers who are currently serving in Level 15.

As per the circular, officers from 1983 and ’84 batches in the eight organised Group-A services (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Traffic, Accounts, Personnel, Signal and Stores) are eligible to apply.

Several officers from non-Engineering services, who are civil servants, such as Traffic, Accounts and Personnel, pointed out that going by this cut-off, senior-most officers from their services will not make the cut even though they are working in Level 15, as they are from batches of subsequent years.
