Subject:     To consider Inclusion of MCA/MTech  in the Recruitment of

Scientist-B in NIC vide Advertisement no. NIELIT/NDL/NIC/2017/7 dated 26.07.2017

Respected Sir,

In relation to your advertisement for the posts of Scientist-B in NIC (Advt. No: NIELIT/NDL/NIC/2017/7  dated 26.07.2017), I feel it is unjust that MCA (Master of Computer Applications)/MTech is not included as one of the qualifying criteria for the concerned post. I hereby respectfully contend against the non-inclusion of MCA as one of the requisite educational qualifications for the post of Scientist-B, on the points observed as below:-

1. Whereby as  per the  Personnel Policy for Group ‘A’ S&T officers of  the honourable MeitY, dated 19.09.2016, Annexure I (Eligibility and other qualification required by the scientist to be eligible for consideration under DeitY Personnel Policy for Group ‘A’ S&T officers), MCA and MSc’s have been listed as one of the requisite eligibility and qualification for inclusion in Group ‘A’ posts, viz. Scientist-B;

2. Whereby as per MeitY’s OM dated 14.03.2013, regarding Streamlining and Standardising the Recruitment Process, Annexure I (Essential educational qualifications for filling up of posts of Scientist ‘B’, Scientific Officer ‘SB’, Scientific Assistant ‘B’, Scientific Assistant ‘A’), which clearly mentioned MCA with BSc. (Mathematics as a subject) as one of the qualifying degrees permitted for the post of Scientist B;

3.   The relevance and technicality of non-inclusion of MCA/MSc, but the inclusion of MSc Physics (with 1 year of experience) in the advertisement and post concerned, whereby MCA degrees are structured and relatively more defined to the roles and responsibilities of Scientist-B officers as specified in the ‘Powers and Duties’ document of NIC, which states as follows:-

“Scientist-B (Systems Analyst) - Promotion, Planning, Design, Development and Implementation of Computerisation service of NIC to a Department of Government or an   associated   organisation;   Development   and   Implementation   of   Information Systems, Expert Systems. The job also involves Managing Information Systems, Training, Maintenance and Hardware Support. The Officers required to undertake field visits for successful implementation of the Project with respect to all technical aspects.”;
