bsnl jto recruitment gate

BSNL JTO Recruitment through GATE – BSNL is one of the biggest organization under government of India. If we talk about telecommunication for India, it is the only organization which will first come in our mind. Like –
Someone ask you : Tell me the name of a telecommunication company which work for government of India ?
You will reply instantly : BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited).

Now lets come to the point, BSNL is recruiting for JTO post after 8 years. Last examination for JTO recruitment was conducted by BSNL in 2009 and if BSNL recruit JTO through or Not through GATE 2017 its examination would conduct in 2017. So it is almost 8 years. Now here we will discuss how it will affect various kind of aspirants. There are many candidates who have messaged us about various kind of issues about JTO 2017 recruitment. Like –

1. Will BSNL recruit JTOs through GATE 2017 ?
2. Will BSNL recruit JTOs through an open competitive examination ?
3. Is it a good decision of selection JTOs on GATE 2017 score basis ?
4. Is it a good decision for candidates who are waiting for JTO since a long time ?
5. Is it correct that BSNL notifying for JTO through GATE 2017 in the last months ?
6. Would it be useful for ECE candidates that JTO is now through GATE 2017 ?

Before starting this discussion we would like to clarify all that we are here trying to solve queries of all sort of aspirants it doesn’t matter for us that he/she is from which branch of engineering or age or state. We are here trying to answer all the queries through this single article which are being asked by aspirants again and again.

1. Will BSNL recruit JTOs through GATE 2017 ?

BSNL recently circulate a document which you can find any BSNL union/association official website. We are here proving a copy of that circular. Please check below images for more information.

This is a circular which clearly show that BSNL is interested in recruiting JTOs on the basis of GATE 2017 score. If BSNL really wants to select JTOs through GATE 2017 then they will release JTO notification as soon as possible. Because GATE 2017 registration has started from September 1, 2016. Here we would like to tell you all BSNL JTO aspirants that BSNL has not yet released any official notification for outer world means there in no such official notification released by BSNL for JTO recruitment so far.

2. Will BSNL recruit JTOs through an open competitive examination ?

Until BSNL doesn’t release notification for JTO recruitment through GATE 2017 there is still good chance that BSNL may recruit JTO without GATE score. Now you all must thinking that why ? Here are some points which BSNL will also consider like –

(1) BSNL is recruiting for JTO post after almost 8 years and all the previous recruitment for JTOs was conducted by BSNL though an open competitive examination. So everyone was in the hope that BSNL will recruit through an open competitive examination. BSNL also aware about this.
(2) GATE 2017 registration has started and it is almost 15 days crossed from GATE 2017 registration start. If BSNL will delay in releasing of BSNL JTO notification by 5-10 days more and then they release notification, they would create a trouble for themself. Because generally for any exam there is almost one month is provided by any organization and this is the first time that BSNL is recruiting for JTOs through GATE. BSNL can not release the notification of JTO after GATE because it will again put BSNL in trouble. So if BSNL really-really want to recruit JTO through GATE 2017 then they have to release notification with in 2-5 days.

3. Is it a good decision of selection JTOs on GATE 2017 score basis ?

Many will say it is good decision & many will say it is not good decision. Those who are preparing for GATE 2017 exam mainly, such candidates would be happy if BSNL will recruit JTOs through GATE 2017. While those who are not preparing for GATE would like that BSNL recruit JTOs through an open competitive examination. Because it would hard for such candidate to prepare GATE in these last months. Now there is less than 5 months remaining for GATE 2017.

How this decision could be bad decision for GATE 2017 aspirants too ? 
Which I will explain in below points. 

4. Is it a good decision for candidates who are waiting for JTO since a long time ?

As I have mentioned that BSNL is going to recruit after 8 long years. First I would like to tell you all candidates that if you ask from a Communication Engineer that tell me the name of any 5 government/PSUs organization which recruit only communication engineers, they will only define BSNL. There would be no any second or third government/PSUs organization which recruit only communication engineers. So specially Communications Engineers / Telecommunications Engineers / Radio Engineers / Electronics & Communication Engineer who are waiting for this recruitment since a very long time and all those BSNL JTO aspirants who are waiting for JTO notification eagerly, this decision of JTO recruitment through GATE 2017 will affect them really bad.

5. Is it correct that BSNL notifying for JTO through GATE 2017 in the last months ?

As I have mentioned above that there are surely many candidate who are preparing for GATE since 1/2/3 year(s) but also there are many candidates who are not preparing for GATE. There is almost 8-10 lakh candidates fill GATE application form yearly but still there are lakhs of engineering graduates who are not preparing for GATE. So it would not be a correct decision that releasing JTO notification in these last months of GATE 2017 preparation. There is only 4 and half month remaining for GATE 2017.

6. Would it be useful for ECE candidates that JTO is now through GATE 2017 ?

This is the last but very important point for Electronics & Communication Engineers those who think BSNL JTO through GATE would be better than an open competitive. Here I am providing some points which you should consider. I hope after reading and analysing these points you would automatically understand why JTO through GATE exam is not good for Electronics & Communication Engineers (ECE).

When you check Image-2 as shown above you will find that a candidate need to opt one paper out of CS&IT/EC/EE/IN. Means any of these four papers any one can choose any paper. Obviously CS&IT candidate will choose CS&IT paper & EC candidate will choose EC paper similarly other will choose as per their branch as well. I means final list for 2510 posts of JTO will be prepared on the collective GATE score from all of these branches.

As shown in image-2 BSNL will recruit JTO on GATE score basis. Means the total number of JTO vacancies will be divided into 4 branches. Because while we talk about GATE score all branches will have equal chance of selection. Means all if 4 branches will equally compete for all the notified vacancies then all the branches will get 25%(nearly) seats.

On the other side if BSNL will recruit JTOs through an open competitive exam most of the post will occupied by Electronics & Telecommunication candidates. If you check previous years records 70-80% total notified seats were occupied by Electronics & Telecommunication candidates only. Because syllabus of BSNL JTO is 90% match with Electronics & Communication syllabus which they learn during their B. E. / B. Tech. course. . For more detailed analysis please check table given below.

BranchECCS&ITEEIN
Best Case40%20%20%20%
Average Case25%25%25%25%
Worst Case10%30%30%30%
Average all Cases25%25%25%25%

Let’s assume that BSNL notified 2510 vacancies for JTO post. This analysis clearly show that if there are 2510 vacancies for JTOs then Electronics & Telecommunication candidates will get :
(1) Best Case – 1,004/2510 Posts.
(2) Average Case – 628/2510 Posts.
(3) Worst Case Case – 251/2510 Posts.

BSNL JTO recruitment which is coming after 8 years. Nothing could be bad more than this for Electronics & Communication / Telecommunication candidates if this happen. So, Candidates thinking that if BSNL will recruit JTO through GATE 2017 would be in their favour might be wrong. They should certainly think again about this decision.

If still EC candidate think they will occupy 80% seats
on the basis of GATE 2017 score.

Please let us know how ?

On the other side if BSNL conduct an open competitive exam than most of the seats would occupied by Electronics & Communication Engineers. Because syllabus of BSNL JTO is 90% match with Electronics & Communication syllabus which they learn during their B. E. / B. Tech. course.

This article is designed for information purpose. There are many candidates who are not satisfied with this decision of BSNL they told us to reply to their queries so that they can decide what is better for them. There are many candidate who didn’t even fill GATE 2017 application form so far. They wanted our opinion about this decision, so that they can decide what they should do. We tried our level best to cover almost all kind of issues. Here we specially emphasises on Electronics & Communication Engineering candidates. We do this because Electronics & Communication Engineering are the only who are waiting for BSNL JTO since 8 years mainly and this decision of BSNL will affect them the most.

If you have any opinion about this issue or any through which you would like to share with all the BSNL JTO aspirants you can put them using the comment box below. We will consider your good & correct thought & idea and put them into this article. So that other can also understand this issue very well. Thanks.

  1. Sir, I got 14.24 marks in CSE paper of GATE 2017, I am belong to OBC category, how much is chance for me for getting selected as JTO in BSNL.

  2. I am getting 43.01 marks in Electrical Engineer Session 2.
    i am from Gujarat OBC category.
    will it be safe for me to select my home circle or i apply somewhere else???
    anybody from Gujarat ?

  3. gate score 2017 is important to apply bsnl JTO post?
    i am cs 2015 competion and i am not applying gate exam 2017 .Am i eligible to apply BSNl JTO 2017?

  4. GROSS INJUSTICE.. Recruitment of JTO(Telecom) through GATE 2017 by BSNL is injustice towards EC students especially towards those who wanted to serve in telecom sector and thus chose particularly EC as discipline for graduation. We EC students have to get united to oppose this unfair procedure undertaken by BSNL. We all know BSNL recruits JTO in three cadres 1. Telecom 2. Electrical 3. Civil. Earlier candidates aspired for selection in BSNL had to appear in one of three papers for selection in respective cadres. When BSNL conducted JTO exams in 2007,2008 and 2009 80% of the candidates selected in telecom cadre were from EC branch. 90% of syllabus of separately held DR-JTO(Telecom) exam was from EC branch. Other PSUs which select through GATE have their vacancy clearly split into different branches(like Mech, Civil, CS/IT, EC/Instrumentation). Still it was justified to allow CS/IT and electrical students in this exam as they had to first prove their mettle in EC concepts in this exam to get job in Telecom. But it seems now when BSNL is recruiting JTOs(Telecom) through gate, CS/IT and Electrical candidates are getting similar opportunity as EC students and may lead to selection of EC candidates reduced to 33.33%o(one third) of the vacancies compared to 80% earlier(this means 1200 less seats for EC candidates if 2510 vacancies are announced). How could one judge ability of a candidate in telecom sector through GATE CS/IT paper?! This is not software industry, this is telecom. BSNL doesn’t make its own software. Licenses of all software used in BSNL(or any other telecom company) are purchased from other firms working in the field of cyber-telecom development. BSNL doesn’t have any role in even upgrading/maintaining these soft wares. Job of JTO(Telecom) demands thorough knowledge in electromagnetic theory, VSWR, microwave engineering, antenna theory, electronic circuits(both analog and digtal). Electrical and CS/IT engineers don’t understand these topics. BSNL management is acting negligent and random in considering GATE Electrical and GATE CS/IT question paper suitable for selection of JTOs(Telecom). Even if BSNL wants to recruit through gate 90% 0f the posts should be filled with students of EC or related fields(not from Electrical or CS or IT).

  5. Is bsnl recruiting JTOs through gate 2017? As far as i can see there are no notifications on the official bsnl external exam website. I applied for gate only because of bsnl…. Have i lost my money….?

  6. hello.. will bsnl recruit JTO through GATE 2017 because nearly half of the registration time passes without a notice from bsnl or is there a problem regarding this recruitment

    • Hello balraj,

      This recruitment is for Degree of Engineering candidates not for Diploma candidats.

      Feel free to ask if you need any help in future & join us @ Google+ / Facebook for getting regular updates.

  7. Why bsnl has not released official notification for jto through gate 2017, which was supposed to be release on 1 December? Does this mean still there is chance that bsnl may not recruit through gate 2017?

  8. I think BSNL must recruit from GATE2017. It is beneficiary for EC if BSNL reveals the information about seats reserved for each eligible branch just like other PSUs do when they recruiting from GATE SCORE. For example NTPC releases their recruitment notification and they mention number of seats for every eligible branches. So I want to say that BSNL should also do this and mention more and more vacancy for EC because it is only core company for EC.
    Thank you.

  9. hello sir,
    it is very bad news for ece students.because other branches has less compitition in gate compare to ECE .and they have so many PSU jobs.Ece students legally weighting for this notification from 8 years onwards.

    so please provide more jobs to ECE students. this is the best solution…………..

    • Hello Aabid,

      Most probably No.
      Selection will completely based on GATE 2017 score, if BSNL will recruit on the basis of GATE 2017 score.

    • Hello jai,

      First you need to fill GATE 2017 online application form then in the month of January you need to fill BSNL JTO 2017 application form.

      Feel free to ask if you need any help in future & join us @ Google+ / Facebook for getting regular updates.

    • Hello jai,

      BSNL haven’t provided any official information about BSNL JTO through GATE 2017 on their official website so far. So nothing is advisable right now.

      Feel free to ask if you need any help in future & join us @ Google+ / Facebook for getting regular updates.

  15. this is not good for iit or nit and those commity, who are set a highly conceptual paper only for research in india ,and gate exam is not for any psu’s and other private orgnization who are recruit through gate…if tooper will go and join a psus..then who will be do research in india …..if lower ranker go in iit and nit and get admission .those can not be done research…..gate is not for a job purpose.. Think if any one creak iit jee..then why he/her join iit for b.tech..go for job ….so i think this is not good decision from bsnl……and i thik if bsnl release notification ..then gate comity will apose this.

        • Hello Nilesh,

          If there is any division between vacancies as per engineering stream then it would only mentioned in the official BSNL JTO notification. Wait for official notification.

          Feel free to ask if you need any help in future & join us @ Google+ / Facebook for getting regular updates.

  16. I saw notification in local newspaper of Chief Manager J&K circle that BSNL is going to recruit JTO through GATE 2017 but not detailed notification.

    Am I eligible for JTO because my percentage in Engineering(E&C) is only 58%?

    • Hello Siddharth,

      BSNL generally do not demand for certain percentage so you are eligible.
      Rest depend upon official BSNL JTO 2016-2017 notification.

      Feel free to ask if you need any help in future & join us @ Google+ / Facebook for getting regular updates.

  17. If recruited through gate there will be specific number of seats alloeted for different branches and major number of it will be for ec
    Example 2000 seats for ec
    200 for ee
    200 for ce
    100 for it

    • the problem is not only the mode of examination but also the ambiguity in the notification. what if already a person from ECE branch applied for IN paper Gate already before this news(for whatever reasons)? Is he not in the losing end if vacancies are divided? what i want to say is if they want to conduct through GATE, they should inform earlier(before registration starts) and also release detailed notification at this point only.
      So now it will be better to conduct a separate exam only but nothing in our hands, already news is published in papers.

    • Hello nitish,

      BSNl haven’t release JTO notification through GATE 2017 so far. So there is still chance that BSNL may recruit JTO without GATE.

      Feel free to ask if you need any help in future & join us @ Google+ / Facebook for getting regular updates.

  18. Absolutely wrong analysis at the end. You can’t compare marks of different streams. Gate score is compared. Gate score is related to percentile and not percentage. By gate marks you’re comparing percentage. Percentile is decided by the performance of students in particular stream. You’re misleading the students.

  19. Not throgh gate .All psu need to conduct exam or anthor common exam for all psu s only simlier exam like gate but not for admission in IIT or NIT ..just like IBPS .becoz topper students take admision IN IIT AND NIT s and appy for psu s also but when psu result displys final list then they leave the college so IIT NITs seats get vaccnnt so loss of another students wht abt middle level student..i requst to admin think abt tht and do analysis and do something so tht THrough Gate not single psu option for recruitment..
    And also BSNL should should seperate exam for JTO.

  20. ECE is the worst Branch of Engineering in India beacuse
    Rajasthan Electricity board 817 post – only EE
    Telengala EB 700 only EE
    MPSC 250 only EE
    KSPTL 700 only EE
    UPPCL 120 only EE
    BSEB 450 only EE
    BSNL All are eligible

  22. Even though its based on GATE Score it will create equal opportunity for all branches which is bias in one sense because all other PSU’s demand Degree in Engineering in a particular branch for recruiting in some areas which makes many ECE grads not eligible to compete. So even JTO should be in a similar manner i.e restrict branch(for ECE only) or restrict paper code(EC only) or conduct a separate exam like BSNL JE. only that way it will be justified.

    • Hello Kumar,

      Thanks for providing your view.
      Yes you are right BSNL JTO should be in the same manner as BSNL JE. Where all engineering candidates of different-different branches will prepare the same syllabus for a particular post.
      GATE EC paper for JTO (Telecom) post.
      GATE EE paper for JTO (Electrical) post.
      GATE CE paper for JTO (Civil) post.

    • Hello Kumar,

      We have modified point 6. Now on the basis of GATE score analysis, Let us know what you think now.

      Feel free to ask if you need any help in future & join us @ Google+ / Facebook for getting regular updates.

  23. Will bsnl conduct their usual entrance exam or the JTO will be only recruited through GATE 2017 only?? I mean to ask is it compulsory to attend and qualify GATE 2017 for becoming JTO.

    • Hello shrad,

      There is good chance that BSNL may recruit JTO through GATE 2017. Please read the article carefully. We have attached all the related documents already.
      If BSNL will recruit JTO through GATE 2017 then yes you must have a valid GATE 2017 score.

      Feel free to ask if you need any help in future & join us @ Google+ / Facebook for getting regular updates.

  24. Sir, i want to mention that all companies that recruit through GATE do so on the basis of GATE SCORE and not through marks so your concern that CS/IT Topper would dominate the list is false as the same rank in both branches will have same score albeit different marks.

    I agree that BSNL should roll out the notification if they are determined to use GATE-2017 as early as possiblle as all candidated have enoughtime to apply for the same.

    I wish that our branch i.e ELECTRONICS and COMMUNICATION should be the biggest beneficiary of JTO as we dont have much opportunity in this sector elsewhere.
