Completion of Training does not entitle such person to automatic employment in the Institute. He
may be paid stipend as may be fixed by the Institute.

probationary Employee continues to be on probation until a letter of confirmation or discharge of
probation is given to him. If a permanent Employee is appointed to a different post on probation, he

may at any time during or after completion of probation period, if not yet confirmed in his new post,
be reverted to his previous permanent post with whatever wages / salary he would be eligible at
that time had he not been on probation in the new appointment.
