recommended by the Board for promotion to a higher CES rank.
Section 5. Demonstrated Competence. The
Board shall consider the performance rating of a CESO obtained from the CESPES,
which should either be Very Satisfactory or Outstanding in recommending
him/her for promotional appointment to the next higher CES Rank.
The Outstanding or Very satisfactory CESPES rating of a CESO, who is qualified
for promotional appointment to the next higher CES Rank, shall be subjected to a
validation by the Board. The Board shall devise a mechanism in validating the
said CESPES rating.
Section 6. Screening Process prior to an Entry
