The only reason why your promotion will be held back, is because you committed something major which then postponed your probation period |
Yea I think this is true. My school's new male teachers also all Oct promotion. There were a few female teachers promoted in Oct also instead of April (one is ahead of her batch though. None of her batchmates are promoted yet). I think maybe they come in 6-month blocks where the cut-off for recommendation is on a certain date. Then once they clear a batch of promotees, they then decide on the next batch. So maybe it really has got to do with CEP, age etc. Anyway the delay is not big. Just 6 months. To people at the lower grades it may seem very long. But there are people stuck at GEO 3 or GEO 4 for more than 5 years. You will see that this 6 months is nothing.
