and the counseling is done online as well. Seats are allotted in various DIETs on merit basis. During the process

the seats allotted to the trainers are at times far away from their home town. Therefore, the department

receives applications regarding migrations from various sources throughout the year. A migration policy has

been framed to rationalize this process:-

•

This policy has been made keeping in view the need to implement the regular migration policy of

the department to ensure that the trainees in Punjab DIETs get educational facilities near their

homes

•

Under this policy, the trainees studying in self financed (private) colleges affiliated with S.C.E.R.T.

will not be entitled to migration.

•

Under this policy, only the trainees of first year (first semester) in D.El.Ed. course will be eligible

for migration. The trainees of second year (second semester) in D.El.Ed. course will not be

eligible for migration.

•

This policy will apply on mutual and single migration cases.

•

Single Migration will be done purely on merit basis. In case the number of applications in a

category is more, migration will be done according to the merit.

•

Describing the available vacant seats in various DIETs till October 25, after the admission in the

first year(first semester) for the purpose of migration of the trainees, a public notice will be issued

on the website of the department by October 31, in which details of category wise vacancies will

be reported.

•

The trainees who want to get migrated will apply online by 10th of November.

•

Migration will be done according to the categories. That is if a general category seat is vacant in

DIET then only a general category trainee will be migrated to that seat. The same applies to other

categories like SC category trainee is eligible for SC category seat, BC category trainee is eligible

for BC category seat, Ex Service man category trainee is eligible for Ex Service man category

seat, Freedom Fighter category trainee is eligible for Freedom Fighter category seat, Handicapped

category trainee is eligible for Handicapped category seat.

•

In mutual migration cases, both trainees will be migrated only after receiving written consent

from the concerned heads of the institution.

•

The government holds the authority to give preference to the handicapped and trainees suffering

from chronic diseases.

•

Students with long absence will not be considered for migration.

•

This policy will be implemented from the date of issue w.e.f 8.10.2018.
