Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited is reportedly reconsidering hiring Indian Telecom Service officers who have two years of service left, say news reports. The operator plans to hire these officers in senior management positions.
The operator?s new recruitment rules is expected to exclude most of the 44-odd Indian Telecom Service officers of the rank of chief general manager (CGM) from being considered for re-absorption, as they fall in the over-58 age group.
The retirement age at BSNL is 60. BSNL is also likely to consider non-ITS industry professionals with a finance and civil or electrical engineering background for these slots if suitable candidates are not available in the existing ITS pool.
