PROBATION :-- After formal selection for a post and before confirmation there in there should be specified period of probation during which the work of the officer could be carefully watched , and his suitability for confirmation too decided on that basis. Since performance in a lower service can only indicate an employee's potentialities for a higher service , it is necessary that his suitability should be judged before he is confirmed in the higher service . Therefore, those promoted as well as the fresh entrants to a service should be kept on probation.The controlling authoritiy may, however , have the discretion to count any period of successful officiation in the service as probationary period. It would be desirable to have uniformity as regards the period of probation in different services ,and the period of probation should normally be two years But where there are any special reasons for prescribing a longer period or shorter a suitable period may be fixed in consultation with the Department of Personnel and the Administrative reforms .
