As per Rules ibid the criteria for appointment against the posts of ESTs is as under. 

1. 50% by initial recruitment 

• C) 60% for the posts of EST (Science & Math), and 
• d) 40% for the posts of EST (Arts); and 

2. 50% by promotion on the basis of seniority-cum-fitness

• C) 60% for the posts of EST (Arts), and 
• d) 40% for the posts of EST (Science & Match) from amongst Primary School Teachers. 

It has been observed that in few districts upon promotion as ESTs, in the promotion order of PSTs the word 'appointed" instead of "promotion is used, which causes financial issues to the PSTs. 

In view of above, it is desired by the Competent Authority that in future upon in-service promotion as ESTs, the word "Promotion may be reflected in the orders of the promotees
