How Are Candidates Selected?

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst's Take – Is This Deputation for You?
This is a standard deputation circular for Group B and C posts in DRAT Allahabad and the DRTs under it. Pay follows the 7th CPC levels printed, and the engagement is initially up to three years under DoPT deputation rules. The largest number of seats is in Stenographer Grade I.
Best fit: serving officers already in the feeder grades who want a quasi-judicial tribunal posting and whose parent offices will spare them immediately and certify vigilance clearance.
Who should skip: anyone not already in government, court or tribunal service; feeder-grade officers in the direct line of promotion; and those who cannot obtain the Annexure-II certificate or the last five years’ APARs in time.
