The Public Works (D1) Department issued Government Order (Ms.) Number 256, dated 29 December 2014, amending the Special Rules for the Tamil Nadu Engineering Subordinate Service. It replaces the prescribed qualifications for the post of Assistant Draughtsman and takes effect from the date of issue.
What the government order does
Government Order (Ms.) Number 256, dated 29 December 2014, was issued by the Public Works (D1) Department by order of the Governor of Tamil Nadu. It amends the Special Rules for the Tamil Nadu Engineering Subordinate Service, contained in Section 8 of Volume III of the Tamil Nadu Service Manual, 1970.
The amendment replaces the qualification entries for Assistant Draughtsman under Part II, Branch I, Engineering Branch, Schedule II. The notification was directed to be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
Accepted qualifications
The amended Special Rules recognise either of the following qualifications for the post of Assistant Draughtsman:
- A pass in the Trade Test Draughtsman Course, through either a National Trade Certificate or a National Apprenticeship Certificate.
- The trade qualification must be from the Industrial Training Institute conducted by the Director of Employment and Training, Chennai, and issued by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, National Council for Vocational Training.
- Alternatively, a diploma in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical or Architecture is accepted.
- The diploma must have been awarded by the State Board of Technical Education and Training, Chennai.
The two routes are alternatives. A person may qualify through the specified Draughtsman trade certificate route or through one of the listed diploma disciplines.
