Overview
- The Railway Recruitment Board issued a short notification and opened online applications on June 30 for 6,565 Technician vacancies, with the window closing at 11:59 PM on July 29; candidates must apply at rrbapply.gov.in.
- Vacancies are split between 323 Technician Grade I (Signal) posts and 6,242 Technician Grade III posts, to be allocated across regional railway zones and production units.
- Eligibility for Grade III requires Class 10 plus an ITI certificate from an NCVT/SCVT‑recognized institute or an apprenticeship certificate, while Grade I (Signal) typically requires a relevant diploma or degree in engineering.
- Selection will follow three stages — a Computer Based Test, document verification, and a medical exam — but exam dates, full eligibility details, and the final fee structure will be published in the forthcoming detailed notification.
- Pay is aligned to the 7th CPC with Grade I at Pay Level 5 and Grade III at Pay Level 2, and media reports list provisional application fees that candidates should confirm against the official notification; this drive offers a major hiring opportunity for ITI, diploma and engineering jobseekers across India.
