Preference given to EC candidates taken away in BSNL JTO rectt.

Process of recruitment of JTO(Telecom) through GATE 2017 by BSNL is injustice towards EC candidates as they took EC to serve in telecom sector. Other PSUs which recruit through gate clearly split vacancy into Mech, Civil, CS/IT, EC, Instrumentation and recruit through respective GATE paper(2 max). Three cadres of JTO are 1. Telecom 2. Electrical 3. Civil. Earlier when BSNL conducted its separately held JTO (Telecom) exam in 2007, 2008 and 2009 80% of the candidates selected were from EC branch as 90% of syllabus was from EC. Still it was justified to allow CS/IT and electrical candidates in this exam as they had to prove their mettle in EC concepts. But now, it seems CS/IT, Electrical candidates are getting equal preference as EC students. How could one judge suitability of a candidate in telecom sector through GATE CS/IT paper Gate Electrical papers?! Isn’t BSNL Recruitment department is acting negligent and without justification in considering GATE Electrical and GATE CS/IT question paper suitable for selection of JTOs(Telecom)? Further internal exam conducted by BSNL for promotion of JE to JTO has 90% of EC content in the syllabus.
