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.
