It has been laid down that assessment of Scientists from 1.1.2011 shall be done according to the revised provisions of the scheme.Accordingly, all the Ministries / Departments were advised to initiate action for review of the provisions of FCS and amend their recruitment rules to bring the scheme in their organization in conformity with the guidelines of DOPT.

scheme have not been received from most of the Scientific Ministries / Departments.

Scientists could be carried as per the revised Scheme.
