The clarification given by the BSNL corporate office “Officiating JTOs will have to appear in the LDCE to become regular JTOs and hence there is no question of keeping any JTO vacancy reserved for them” has come out because of  Our Central coordinator and BSNLEA GS letters to the BSNL management to exempt the Officiating JTOs from the LDCE. This doesn’t mean that all the Officiating JTOs are eligible for LDCE. The BSNL management saying that those Officiating JTOs who are eligible for LDCE can write the examination to become Regular JTO.
