¶145

With the consent of learned counsel for the parties, the above matters were heard finally and are being decided by this common order.

¶146

The issue involved in the present cases is whether holding the degree of B.Tech can be treated as sufficient qualification for holding the post of Junior Accountant and Tehsildar Revenue Accountant pursuant to advertisement dated 20.06.2023, whereas the aforesaid advertisement prescribes possession of RS-CIT Certificate as the necessary qualification in addition to the academic qualification mentioned in the advertisement.

¶147

Vide order dated 27.03.2025, this Court directed the Principal Secretary, Finance Department, and Principal Secretary, Department of Personnel, to provide a consolidated decision/opinion regarding whether the B.Tech degree can be considered equivalent to an RS-CIT Certificate or falls under the eligibility criteria vis-a-vis instant selection process.

¶148

Learned counsel for the respondents submits that, in compliance with the order dated 27.03.2025, a Committee was

[2025:RJ-JP:35339]

[CW-15294/2024]

(8 of 9)

constituted, and meeting of the Committee was convened on 10.06.2025. After considering all the factors, it was decided in the meeting that degree of BE/B.Tech in any branch of Engineering is equivalent to RS-CIT, and the candidate’s eligibility should be determined accordingly. In the application filed on behalf of respondent No. 1 and 3, it has been mentioned that the Committee had treated the computer subjects in all/some semesters of different streams at both Graduation and PostGraduation levels as equivalent to RS-CIT, and recommending that candidate’s eligibility be determined accordingly.

¶153

In the said meeting dated 10.06.2025, Committee has also taken a conscious decision to hold that the candidates possessing computer concept certificate (CCC) issued by the NIELT are also equivalent certificates to that of RSCIT certificate. As such, persons holding the CCC are also eligible for the aforementioned recruitment examination.

¶154

In the light of above decision taken by the respondentGovernment itself, it is declared that degree of BE/B.Tech and CCC shall be considered as sufficient qualification for determining the eligibility of the candidates wherever the requirement is to possess certificate of RS-CIT.

¶155

In light of above, the writ petitions are allowed with the direction to treat the petitioners as eligible for participating in the recruitment process for the post of Junior Accountant and Tehsildar Revenue Accountant, pursuant to order dated 20.06.2023. The result of the petitioners is directed to be declared. In case, names of the petitioners are found at
