Thousands of employees have submitted their candidature for the said exam working across nook and corner of BSNL and many of employees are stationed at locations that are quite distant from the designated examination centres. This geographical dispersion poses significant logistical challenges when it comes to reach the examination centres.

Given the extended duration of the exams, which goes up till 8 pm, it is becoming increasingly challenging for employees to return on the same day after traveling long distances. Therefore, AIGETOA raise consideration in granting “on-duty” travel permissions to all eligible employees, enabling them to participate smoothly while ensuring minimal disruption to their routine work responsibilities.

Additionally, AIGETOA highlights the fact that the internal exams coincide with the forthcoming parliamentary elections, slated to begin from April 19th. The convergence of these two critical events might potentially lead to conflicts in terms of scheduling and prioritization. Keeping this in mind, GS AIGETOA requested Director HR to exempt all eligible executives involved in preparing for these internal exams from any election-related duties or works until the completion of the examinations on April 18th. By doing so, we believe that they can concentrate wholeheartedly on their preparation and performance during the assessment period.
