The Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) no longer administers Qualified Incumbent Exams and follows a case-by-case process for classifying positions.

Qualified Incumbent Exams are discontinued as part of provisional reduction efforts.
Positions requiring specific licenses or educational qualifications may be petitioned for noncompetitive or exempt classification.
The process involves collaboration with the city agency using the title and drafting a proposal for state review.
Final classification requires approval from the state civil service commission.

So, you know, as I stated, so, like, if there is a specific license or educational requirement of the title, That would be a strong case for us to petition to the state civil service commission to to designate it in the noncompetitive or exempt class.

And, you know, we review these type of situations on a case by case basis.

It requires input input from the city agency using the title and the creation of a a proposal that's reviewed by the state.
