SELECTION PROCEDURE

RRB calls for eligible applicants through "Employment News" (A publication of the Government of India). The publication of employment notification has been started recently on the Internet website. The applications are scrutinized for eligibility and the eligible candidates are called for a written examination with call letters being sent a month in advance of the date of the examination. The examinations are generally held in Bhopal, Jabalpur, Raipur, Bilaspur, Bhilai-Durg depending upon the number of candidates. If the candidates are in large numbers, the exam may be held in Nagpur & Indore as necessary.

If number of candidates is large, the candidates who qualify in the preliminary exam are called for the main written exam, and the merit list is prepared based entirely upon the result of the main exam. In most categories of jobs, there is no interview after the written examination. For a very few specific categories there is a viva after the written exam, while for certain other categories there is a skill test like typing test or stenography test. For categories related to operational safety like Asst. Station Master, Asst. Loco Pilot, there will be an aptitude test.
