238 Strong IRS batch to join NACEN
SOME 238 candidates have been selected for the 66th batch of IRS (Customs and Central Excise) to be trained at NACEN Faridabad from 22nd December 2014. Apparently NACEN at Faridabad has no facility to train and accommodate so many probationers. So more than 150 probationers are to be housed in National Institute of Financial Management (NIFM), Faridabad. These probationers are to be picked up and dropped every day from and to NIFM.
How will NACEN train so many probationers? Can they ensure that quality of training does not suffer? As such not so well trained officers are creating chaos in the field.
Such large scale recruitment is not good for the cadre. After thirty years there will be 200 senior frustrated officers waiting for their promotion. Maybe by that time we will have 200 Principal Chief Commissioners!
