A transparent and merit-based selection process for RTTC Jaipur was already completed in April–June 2024 through online assessment, interview, and presentation. A merit-wise panel was duly approved by the competent authority and circulated to all Circles. The Association expressed serious concern that re-initiating the same volunteer process not only undermines the sanctity of the earlier selection but also causes avoidable uncertainty and demoralization among the empanelled executives.

AIGETOA categorically stated that repeating the selection exercise without utilizing the existing panel is unwarranted and raises apprehensions about the intent behind such actions, especially when the earlier panel remains valid and unutilized. The earlier objections regarding arbitrary transfer and posting orders issued by ALTTC Circle have not been addressed so far.

We firmly demanded that:

1] Executives already selected and empanelled for RTTC Jaipur be given first priority for posting.

2] Postings to RTTC Jaipur and other Telecom Training Centres be made strictly from existing approved panels, wherever available.

3] No fresh volunteer or selection process be initiated without fully exhausting the earlier approved panels.

4] Personnel and Establishment Sections at Corporate Office scrutinise the transfer and posting orders issued by ALTTC Circle and take corrective action as per policy.

We urged the BSNL management to act promptly in the interest of fairness, transparency, and administrative propriety. Failure to address the issue may compel it to pursue the matter further at appropriate forums.
