TO BE CAREFULLY HANDLED

The JAO Part-II Examinations are being held in Old Syllabus.
It is a very difficult task for the Officers who have to set the question papers.
While an Officer may be highly competent and very much current on the subject, setting a question paper based on old departmental volumens (without knowing as to how many corrections etc., have taken place) is indeed a very daunting task.
In fact, they should very intelligently set the question papers by avoiding controversial / doubtful areas.
In case any question is set relating to Telecom Tariff, the best way is to first give the relevant tariff rates and conditions in the question paper itself, and then to pose a question. In this method, all that the candidate is to do is to solve the problem based on the tariff rate given (this will eliminate any possible controversy as to the correctness of the tariff on a given point of time).
Telecom Manual Volume X has undergone a change - i.e. the erstwhile single composite manual has been bifurcated into three - Part I, II and III - by the Department. Consequently, there is change in the Rule Numbers. This fact has to be kept in mind by the question paper setter. While giving the key, the Old Rule Numbers / New Rule Numbers have to be given so that a candidate is given a mark irrespective of whether he quotes a old rule number or new rule number.
I wish the Officers who have been assigned to set the Question Papers, well and all success.

SORRY FOR THE DELAY

The CPWD MANUAL is not readily available with the publishers i.e. M/s. Jain Book Agency.
Because of this, there is delay from our end to supply the books to those who have ordered the Manual.
The MANUAL is likely to be received only by 11th or 12th of September and the CPWD related books will be despatched only thereafter.
Candidates have to bear with me for this delay, which is completely beyond my control.

SINCE THE CANDIDATES ARE PLACING ORDERS ON LAST MINUTE, EVEN WHEN I AM TRAVELLING ON THE ROAD, SOME OF THE ORDERS NOTED URGENTLY MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN SUPPLIED. IF ANY OF THE CANDIDATE HAS NOT RECEIVED THE BOOKS SO FAR, THEY MAY CONTACT ME AND REMIND ME SO THAT I CAN SEND THE BOOKS TO THEM.
NORMALLY THE BOOKS WILL BE DESPATCHED ON THE NEXT DAY. HOWEVER, CANDIDATES ARE REQUESTED TO CHECK WITH ME, ON THE THIRD DAY OF BOOKING, WHETHER THE BOOKS HAVE BEEN DESPATCHED OR NOT. THIS WILL HELP ME AS WELL AS THE CANDIDATES.

TELECOM VOLUME - X

WHAT HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR 40% QUOTA JAO PART-II EXAMINATION IS OLD SYLLABUS and not Old Books.
If the Departmental Books prescribed in the Syllabus have been amended / modified / Corrected by the Department itself, then such amendments / modifications and corrections have to be taken into account.
It is in this way, the Department bifurcated the old Combined P and T MANUAL Vol.X (which did not have any Parts) into three separate parts viz., PART-I, PART-II and PART-III.
In Part-I old Chapter II has been covered.
In Part-III old Chapters IV onwards have been covered.
Part-II covered old Chapter I and III.
(These details are available in the preface to the Telecom Manual Vol.X itself. )
The old combined P and T Manual was having more than 480 Rules. The same has since been broken into three parts (part I, II and III). Each part starts with Rule 1.
Presently, there is no Rule 487 in the new Telecom Manual Vol.X part-III. (but the contents of earlier Rule 487 will be available in some other Rule No.).
Therefore, the candidates should not confuse about the non-availability of Rule 487 etc. in the Telecom Manual Vol.X.
Their confusion arises because Rule 487 has been quoted in Naithani's Solved paper.
* But, normally a Guide is supposed to adopt the Rule given in the Departmental Volume. It is not that the rule number in the Departmental volume should be arranged as given in the Guide. Just because certain Rule Number (say Rule 487) has been quoted in Naithani's Solved Paper, that does not mean the same Rule number should be available in the Departmental Volume, even when the Departmental Volume has been modified.
* While reading the Guide, the candidates can also simultaneously note the new Rule No.
* Similarly they can also note in pencil in the Volume the corresponding old rule No.
* Now that the Rule number has been changed (though the contents remain the same) the candidates should quote the New Rule No. and also the Part-I or II or III in which the rule appears. They are also at liberty to quote the old rule Number. (The person correcting the answer sheet will be able to understand the position).

PLACE ORDERS FOR BOOKS IN TIME

* The JAO Part-II Books are getting exhausted very fast.
* As there is considerable delay in SUPPLY OF BOOKS RELATING TO PAPER-XII, i.e. CPWD MANUAL, CPW Accounts CODE, and CPWD GUIDE BY Jairath by the publishers, there is also delay from my end. Persons who have booked for Paper-XI may therefore have to bear with me.
* I will be away from Delhi from 9th September to 14th September, 2009.
As such, only those orders which are received latest by 6th September 2009 (evening) will be despatched on or before 9th September.
Orders received on and from 7th September, 2009 will be despatched only from 15th September.
SO IN ORDER TO AVOID DELAY, AND TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT, PLEASE PLACE THE ORDERS WELL IN TIME.
*********
I HAVE OBTAINED FROM BSNL AUTHORITIES, BY APPLYING UNDER RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT, COPIES OF QUESTION PAPERS OF PREVIOUS 40% (AND 10%) QUOTA EXAMINATION AND ALSO THEIR KEYS.
THIS WILL BE PUBLISHED BEFORE 7TH SEPTEMBER IN THIS BLOG.
