Respected Sir/Mam
Presently, I am working as Postal assistant in PB-I (5200-20200+ 2400) in Department of Posts since 2011. I applied for the post of Assistant (9300-34800+ 4200) in Kendriya Vidayala Sangthan (KVS) through direct recruitment examination. As per the advertisement, qualification for the said post was Graduate with 03 years experience as UDC in Central / State Govt./ Autonomous Bodies/ Public Sector Undertakings .
I fulfilled above said requisite conditions and my application was accepted. I was allowed to appear in the competitive test. Now, my grievance is that my name has not been empanelled in the Main Panel List for appointment to the post of Assistant even after getting higher marks than the selected candidates. Names of approximate 21 candidates of “UR” category who got lesser marks than me have been empanelled in the Main Panel List for the post of Assistant and no reason regarding the non selection of the candidates who secured higher marks have been given in the result by KVS. However, from the reliable sources, it has come into the notice that all Postal Assistants who appeared in the above said exam have not been considered by KVS with objection that Postal Assistant working in Department of Posts are not UDC. But, in previous recruitments, postal assistants have been appointed at post of Assistant by KVS. But, this time they have not considered Postal Assistants even though they are in same scale of (5200-20200+2400) as UDC.
Is experience of Postal Assistant in Department of Posts which is Central Govt. Department , not a UDC experience?? Kindly guide in this context.

According to you there is a precedent and your qualification and experience in job application was accepted for the said post.
You may try to obtain a written reply even if thru RTI.

Yes, obtain the reasons for non-selection through RTI Act and you may file an Original Application in the Central Administrative Tribunal, if so advised.

Besides getting information through RTI, you may also re-read the criteria of selection, whether preference is stated to be given to some other considerations or not for the purpose of selection.
