Till now this post is reserved for Punjab. The government has also changed the qualification and experience required for the post of member power.

While the amended rules do not debar Punjab and Haryana from having their representatives apply for top BBMB posts-Member Power and member Irrigation, engineers from these states point out that there are no big dams/barrages in the region. Hence, they do not have the requisite experience to apply for the posts.

Now, as per the new notification, most of the PSPCL / PSTCL engineer fails to qualify for the above post. The post requires a candidate should be an engineering graduate or equivalent in electrical or mechanical engineering and should have minimum twenty years of overall experience with a minimum of three years experience (as on the closing date of receipt of application as Head of project involved in construction and operation of (a) large hydro electric projects with 200 mw capacity and more OR (b) minimum 500 circuit kilometers transmission line having voltage level of 132 kV and above.
