MoSPI iGOT APAR Courses 2026: Mandatory Virtual Workshop Rules
The mandatory virtual workshop to resolve iGOT Karmayogi profile errors and Annual Performance Assessment Report (APAR) compliance issues is scheduled for February 23, 2026. The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) directed all division officers and nodal coordinators to attend this session to clear pending DoPT course mandates.
Order Issued — Effective 19.02.2026
Authority: National Statistical Systems Training Academy (NSSTA), MoSPI
Reference: OM No. Y-11011/01/2022-23/NSSTA-Part(i)
This directive addresses the critical system failures preventing employees from completing the Comprehensive Assessment on the iGOT portal. In practice, reporting officers cannot initiate the APAR workflow in the SPARROW portal if the mandatory iGOT certificate is not mapped to the employee’s PRAN, leading to an automatic deferment of their annual increment.
Which MoSPI divisions are required to participate?
All iGOT users and newly nominated nodal officers at regional offices under the EnSD, HSD, and CQCD divisions must log in. The NSSTA organized this open session specifically because regional staff face persistent profile transfer errors when moving between operational units.
How To Join The NSSTA iGOT Workshop In 2026
- Open the official Cisco Webex application or portal on your designated device.
- Enter the official meeting number 2513 912 7222 when prompted by the system.
- Input the numeric password 123456 to bypass the lobby authentication.
- Ensure you connect at least 10 minutes before the 3:00 PM start time on Monday, February 23, 2026.
What if the Webex login fails for regional officers?
Officers connecting through dedicated video conferencing hardware in remote regional offices must utilize the same numeric password (123456) for direct dial-in access. Nodal officers should compile exact error codes encountered during the iGOT module loading phases prior to joining.
Mandatory Attendees:
All MoSPI Government Officers
iGOT Nodal Officers (All Divisions)
Regional Nodal Officers (EnSD, HSD, CQCD)
Exempted from Mandate:
Contractual IT professionals
Retired consultants on special engagement
Officers outside MoSPI jurisdiction
Why Incomplete iGOT Courses Stop Your Annual Increment
An incomplete APAR blocks the regular 3 percent annual increment on July 1 or January 1. DDOs routinely freeze the increment file if the SPARROW dossier lacks the mandatory iGOT completion certificates, causing direct financial loss until the administrative anomaly is rectified.
How much financial loss occurs if the APAR is delayed?
The financial impact of a delayed increment compounds annually. The table below demonstrates the exact monetary loss a Central Government employee sustains if their progression to the next pay matrix cell is blocked due to iGOT platform non-compliance.
| 7th CPC Pay Level | Current Basic Pay | Next Cell (3% Increment) | Annual Loss if Blocked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 (MTS) | Rs 18,000 | Rs 18,500 | Rs 6,000 |
| Level 6 (Assistant) | Rs 35,400 | Rs 36,500 | Rs 13,200 |
| Level 11 (Deputy Secy) | Rs 67,700 | Rs 69,700 | Rs 24,000 |
| Level 13 (Joint Secy) | Rs 1,23,100 | Rs 1,26,800 | Rs 44,400 |
Failure to finish the Comprehensive Assessment results in a “Not Completed” status. This automatically flags the APAR as deficient, triggering a manual review process that requires a written justification to the competent authority.
