PROBATION HAS BEEN OBJECTED TO MAKE IMPROVEMENT OF THE EMPLOYEE S POTENTIALITIES REQUIRED FOR THE HIGHER SERVICE

OBJECT OF THE PROBATION :-- After formal selection for a post and before the confirmation therein there should be specified period of Probation during which the work of the officer could be carefully watched ,and his suitability for confirmation decided on that basis .(2) CATEGORIES OF THE OFFICERS TO BE KEPT ON PROBATION :-- 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 authority may, however have the discretion to count any period of successful officiation in the service as probationary period.(3) PERIOD OF PROBATION :-- It would be desirable to have uniformity as regard 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 or shorter period  a suitable period may be fixed in consultation with the Department of Personnel and the Administrative Reforms.
