Kendriya Vidyalaya Admission 2018-19 –  Method of Admission for Class I

Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan released the guidelines for admission process in KV for the year 2018-19. Check the Method of Admission for Class I

Out of the available seats of fresh admission 15% will be reserved for SC and 7.5% will be reserved for ST. The short fall in the number of seats reserved for SC and ST, will be worked out after considering number of SC/ST children admitted under RTE quota.

(1) In first phase, 10 seats (out of 40 seats) in Class I per section are to be filled as per RTE Provisions (25% of seats) and these 10 seats will be filled by draw of lots from all applications of SC/ST/EWS/BPL/OBC (Non-Creamy Layer)who are the resident of Neighborhood/Differently abled taken together.

(2) In second phase; remaining seats are to be filled as per existing Priority category system. The short fall in the seats reserved for SC/ST, if any shall be made good by admitting SC/ST applicants.

For example : In a single Section School 6 seats are reserved for SC and 3 Seats for ST (15% for SC and 7.5% for ST). Assuming that, 2 SC candidates, 1 ST candidate and 1 Differently Abled candidate are admitted under RTE in the lottery system in first phase, then available SC seats will be considered as 6-2 = 4 and ST seats will be 3-1 = 2. The left out registered candidates from SC and ST category will be considered as per order of Priority categories for admission. In this case the remaining 24 seats will be available for admission under order of Priority of Category.

Note-I:

a) In no case the seats reserved as per RTE will be de-reserved.

b) The seats reserved for SC/ST may be interchanged, by interchanging SC seats to ST and vice- versa after 201″ April.

c) If required numbers of candidates covered under RTE do not register in 1st spell of registration then a second notification may be given in the month of April.

d) The definition/eligibility criteria of Disadvantaged Group/Weaker Section/BPUOBC (Non-creamy layer) will be as per the notification of the concerned State Governments.(The DC KVS RO Concerned may issue guidelines regarding BPL/EWS as per the latest notification of the concerned State Governments).

F. No. PC-VII/201811/7/5/1

New Delhi, dated : 15.02.2018

(as per standard mailing list)

Sub : Implementation of the recommendations of the Seventh Central Pay Commission on Dress Allowance.

Vide Board’s letter F. No. PC-VII/2017/I/7/5/7 dated 03.10.2017 circulated as RBE No. 141/2017, Government’s decision on payment of Dress Allowance at specified rates annually to eligible categories of employees, was notified. It was mentioned in the circular that this Dress Allowance would be in lieu of basic uniform and uniform-related allowances hitherto supplied/paid to Railway employees. The orders were specifically mentioned as taking effect from 01.07.2017.

2. Two Railways (WCR and SECR) have now raised queries on whether Uniform stock already finalised/under finalisation for procurement in some categories should lead to non-payment of the Dress Allowance due from July, 2017. In this context, it is pointed out that the 7th CPC recommendations on Dress Allowance (Chapter 8.16 of the 7th CPC Report) did not comment on liquidation of uniform stock procured/under procurement prior to payment of Dress Allowance to eligible categories of employees. The Ministry of Finance’s OM dated 02.08.2017 that notified implementation of this accepted recommendation also did not have any caveat on Dress Allowance not having to be paid with effect from July, 2017 to cater to procurement processes of uniforms already initiated as on the date of notification of the said OM. Accordingly, RBE No. 141/2017 also did not specify any such caveat while notifying the date of effect of the orders as 01.07.2017.

3. If any Railway/PU is unable to make payment of Dress Allowance in terms of RBE No. 141/2017 and desires a review of existing instructions on the matter, it may send a comprehensive proposal in this regard with the concurrence of PFA and approval of the GM, to enable the matter to be put up to Board.

Sub: Amendment to Railway Board Transformation Cell’s letter No.2017/Trans/ 01/Policy dated 16.11.2017 on Process Reforms- improving Delivery and Performance with regard to registration of vigilance cases.

Ref: Railway Board Transformation Cell letter no 2017/Trans/01/Policy dated 16.11.2017

Subsequent to the issue of guidelines vide letter under reference, it has been decided that para 1, “Guidelines to be followed for registration of a vigilance case” may be modified to read as under:

1. Guidelines to be followed for registration of a vigilance case :

1.1 While investigating a case arising out of a complaint or preventive check, it is necessary for vigilance officials to establish that the matter has a Vigilance Angle before registration of a case against an officer. In order to have a comprehensive picture of the entire case, it is thus important that the views of the PHOD on Vigilance Angle are also taken before the case is registered against an officer. Therefore the following procedure may be followed:

a) SDGM/CVO may first examine the ease/complaint from the standpoint of Vigilance Angle and, in case no Vigilance angle is prima-facie found, the case may be sent to PHOD concerned for taking appropriate action as per the disciplinary procedure under the service roles on the administrative omission/lapses which may have been identified in the Preliminary Investigation Report of Vigilance However, cases referred by CVC, PMO, RB etc, for investigation and submission of Report, are required, to be submitted to Railway Board Vigilance for further necessary action/advice duly incorporating the views of the PHOD(s).

b) In case SDGM/CVO arrives at an opinion that the case involves Vigilance Angle the matter should be referred to the PHOD(s) concerned for his/their reasoned views on the existence of a vigilance angle or otherwise before a final decision on registration of a case is taken. The PHOD may, if required, consult DRM/CWM etc. However, in the interest of ensuring that the vigilance investigation is not delayed and processed as expeditiously as possible, it is important that the PHOD(s) concerned give his/their views within a period of 14 days. If this is not done, the case may be withdrawn from PHOD(s) and processed further without the views of the PHOD(s), it is also important that the PHOD(s) concerned maintain, the requisite confidentiality in the matter so that the reputation of the officer, identity of complainant and critical issues requiring investigation are not adversely affected or compromised.

c) In case of a disagreement between PHOD and SDGM/CVO, the matter should be put up to the General Manager for his views. in case of difference of opinion between SDGM/CVO and the General Manager, the case should be referred to PED/Vigilance i-e. the CVO of the Ministry of Railways for taking a final view on the matter in terms of the provisions of the IR Vigilance Manual and extant CVC guidelines.

d) In the case of non-gazetted officials, SDGM may consult PHOD concerned before taking a final view on registration of a case.

e) The PHOD/DA while giving his reasoned views may also consider, among other things, the following:

i. Law of ordinary prudence be kept in mind for the evaluation of a case, and instructions which are not available in codes/manuals, or not readily available on websites, need not be the sole criteria for ascertaining the vigilance angle.

ii. Whether a pattern has emerged on the basis of which an inference that an officer was actuated by extraneous consideration can be drawn.

iii. Whether there has emerged from record, one or more circumstances which indicate that the decision which formed the basis of the charge of misconduct was not an honest exercise or the executive discretion and delegation of power.

iv. The charge of misconduct against an executive must be distinguished from a purely erroneous decision whether on law, policy or fact.

v. Try to differentiate between a malafide and a genuine lapse/mistake and also keep in mind the practical aspect of an event/working.

This is issued with the approval of the Chairman Railway Board. Kindly acknowledge the receipt and ensure compliance.
