Check Your GES Promotion Eligibility
The GES Promotion Calculator checks whether you meet the basic requirements to apply for promotion in a particular year. It considers your current rank, the year you attained that rank, continuous service and whether you are applying through the normal, Master’s or PhD route.
The calculator covers applications from Senior Superintendent I to Principal Superintendent, through to Director I. The promotion examination ranks include Principal Superintendent, Assistant Director II, Assistant Director I, Deputy Director, Director II and Director I.
