5. ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATION FOR PROMOTION ELIGIBILITY

i. Applicability
Officers due for promotion to the grades of SMGS-IV, SMGS – V & TEGS – VI (i.e. presently
in MMGS-III, SMGS-IV and SMGS-V) in F.Y. 2021-22 (including specialists), are required
to do one certification in addition to their mandatory Role Based Certification & Mandatory
E-Lessons, to be eligible for promotion (Additional certification is not required for award staff,
JMGS-I and MMGS-II and exempt category officials due for promotion in FY 2021-22).

ii. Types of Additional Certifications

The Officials in Scale III to V (excluding exempt category), who are due for promotion in
the next financial year 2021-22, will be required to complete one additional certification
on Macroeconomics, which will be available as E-Lesson on Gyanodaya portal.

iii. Validity of additional certification for promotion

• For the officers, due for promotion in the F.Y. 2021-22, the additional certification has
to be obtained in F.Y. 2020-21. There is no carry forward of the additional certification
and it will be reckoned for promotion eligibility for one financial year only.

8
 • In case of backdated promotions, the additional certification has to be completed in
the year preceding to the financial year in which the officer takes part in the promotion
exercise. For example, for an officer considered for promotion in FY 2021-22 with
backdated effect from 2018-19, the additional certification should have been
completed in FY 2020-21.

• The additional certification is required for promotion eligibility. An official who is

required to complete additional certification, and does not complete the same, will
not be considered in the Zone of Selection for promotion. Conversely, If an official
completes the additional certification but does not complete the Role Based
Certification and all mandatory e-lessons, he/she will not get the 5 marks in CDS and
will also be rendered ineligible for AAA grade in CDS and promotion.

iv. Number of Attempts

There will be no restriction on the number of attempts for completing the Additional
Certification.

6. OTHERS

Specialists, CP – Law, CP-Associates, CP-Channel Manager, CP - PRM will have
only one Role Manual.
• The Examination Structure will be entirely case-study based for the Level-2
Certification Programs.
• Pass percentage for the Certification Programs for award staff will be 60%,
whether new or revalidation.
• Pass percentage for Level-1 Certification Programs will be 60% for Officers.
• Pass percentage for Level-2 Certifications will be 70% for Officers.
• The record of internal certifications and e-lessons completed by an employee will be
ported directly to HRMS and can be viewed by the employees in HRMS – Personal
– Role Based Mandatory Certification Course. The External Certifications completed
by the officials will have to be registered by the officials in the same link in HRMS,
and approved by their controller.

9
 • The Data relating to completion of Role Based and Additional Certifications will be
frozen at the EOD of 31.03.2021 for reckoning CDS Grades and for the purpose of
eligibility for promotion. All Certifications and E-Lessons will have to be therefore
completed and uploaded and approved in HRMS by 31.03.2021, 2400 Hours.
• All employees shall be required to complete certification by 31st December
2020. No doubt clearing e-workshops will be held during the last quarter of FY to
make the training capacity available for new joinees.
