Summary: CSIR Review DPC for PwBD Promotions

The Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) issued a notification on May 26, 2026, regarding review Departmental Promotion Committees (DPCs). This process is designed to implement reservation benefits in promotions for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBDs) for Section Officer (SO) and equivalent posts.

Key Highlights

• The reservation benefits for promotions are being assessed on a notional basis starting from June 30, 2016.
• The notification includes Annexure-1, which lists the tentative details for respective vacancy years, available PwBD roster points, and eligible candidates for promotions (such as ASO to SO and Sr. Steno to PS).
• Annexure-2 provides details on various representations submitted by Group B officers seeking PwBD benefits, along with the Competent Authority's final decisions on why certain individuals were or were not granted the benefit.
• The requirement to hold review DPCs for future years will depend heavily on whether suitable candidates are found during these initial review DPCs.

Important Deadline

Anyone wishing to submit a representation against the tentative details provided in the notification must send it via email to ccoe1.hqrs@csir.res.in. The strict deadline for submission is June 5, 2026, after which no further representations will be considered.
