Recruitment for non-gazetted posts in Indian Railways is conducted by two primary organizations under the Ministry of Railways.

Key Recruitment Bodies:
  • Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs): Responsible for conducting centralized recruitment examinations for technical and non-technical Group 'C' posts, including Junior Engineers (JE), Assistant Loco Pilots (ALP), Technicians, and Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) like Station Masters and Goods Train Managers.
  • Railway Recruitment Cells (RRCs): Responsible for conducting recruitment for Level 1 posts (erstwhile Group 'D'), which include Track Maintainer Grade-IV, Assistant Pointsman, and various helpers.

The process for both RRBs and RRCs involves a multi-stage process typically starting with Computer-Based Tests (CBTs).

Candidates must refer to the official notifications issued by the respective RRB or RRC for the accurate and timely details of the examination.
