1. In consultation with all Management Institutes conducting mgt programmes for retired/retiring officers, it has been decided that, henceforth, all Institutes will assess the suitability of all student officers through a Questionnaire / Profiling before commencement of the course and / or through Tests / Quizzes / Group Discussions / Interviews etc, within about 10 days of commencement of course, and reject those officers who do not possess the skills / aptitude required for the grilling 24 week programme. The Institutes will also reserve the right to route back defaulting officers any time during the programme for misconduct / frequent absenteeism from classes, and not award the Certificate, as also deny placement opportunities, to those who fail to meet the prescribed standards of performance and / or attendance.

2. Officers routed back after more than 10 days after commencement of the course will also forego a portion of their 40 % share of course fee, either on a pro-rata basis depending upon the duration of stay in the Institute, or as decided by the respective Institute, and the amount so deducted shall be retained by the concerned institute. It may also be noted that seats in these institutes are limited and the DGR can ill afford to waste these precious vacancies. Hence, officers who fail to report for the course after being detailed, without informing DGR and without assigning adequate reason, will also forfeit their security deposit of Rs 10,000/-.

3. This has the approval of DGR.
