Mr. Tapas Chakraborty
Pls refer to Memo No. 209-SE (EE)/PTTI-7/2011, Date: 4.03.2013
As per the memo’s no.
iii) Teachers who have attained 1 yr./ 2 yrs. Diploma in Elementary Education from State recognised institutions and appointed as teacher on or before 31.12.2005 shall be treated as ‘trained teacher’.
So, I think U are eligible for Cat. ‘A’ , i.e., Grade Pay 2600.
But, I think you should be drawing the ‘A’ i.e., Grade Pay 2600 right now (i.e., from your date of joinning itself). And, yes as per the memo, U do not need to undergo any Bridge Course.
