Dear Sir,
I am working in PSU organization and applied for another PSU through proper channel for which minimum seven years experience was asked in executive cadre in central/state/psu/private organization.
I have worked two years in Indian railways as section engineer and five and half years for PSU organization where still I am working. I was called for written exam and interview and finally I was selected. After that I was called for medical exam where I was found medically fit.
During final certificate verification I was told that my railway experience as section engineer will not be counted as it is not an executive post according to that PSU. They are considering only gazetted post in central govt. equivalent to executive post. In railways those officers who are appointed directly through UPSE (IES, IAS, and IRS) are gazette officer. Section engineer in Indian railways in non gazetted post where min. qualification required is degree in engineering same as that for entry level in PSU . In PSU even CMD is non gazetted officer.
My queries are;
1. Whether the post of Section engineer in Indian railways is equivalent to to executive post in PSU? . 2.How will we compare the equivalency (in designation or pay scale) between central govt. and PSU Employee?
2. In public sector even the CMD is non gazatted officer, so whether the eligibility criteria asked by PSU is correct? (only gazatted officer in central govt. is equivalent to executive post in PSU ) which means IES/IAS/IRS officers are equivalent to entry levels engineers in PSUs who r considered as Executive.
3. In PSU even a diploma holder is consider as executive after few year of experience. In some PSUs diploma holders are are directly given the post of executive at the time of joining only .
4. On basis of this can I claim for the post which I am denied .

The suggestion on experience is irrational. May be it is stray remark from a junior official. Verification could be with reference to the information you had furnished. The official cannot indulge in value judgement over the decision of the Interview Board.
If you are denied appointment, you can approach the High Court through a Writ Petition.

You can refer the conditions in the ad for the post.
However, I you think the decision of department is illegal file writ.

Thanks a lot for your valuable replies. While checking in net I got comparative statement between CDA and IDA. (Source; Equivalent IDA scales of CDA scale present in Railways) Here it is shown that Section engineer/Senior section engineer /Loco Inspector of pay scale 9300-34800 with grade pay 4600 in CDA is equivalent to pay scale of Assistant engineer, Assistant officer with pay scale of 16400-40500 in IDA. Assistant engineers with pay scale of 16400-40500 are considered as Executive in Miniratna Psus like IRCON, NFL etc. for entry level engineers .
If I go to court with these documents what is my chances of winning? What will be the consequences of it? If the result is unfavorable whether I will be debarred from getting into that Psu in future.
Pls. reply.
