Indian Railways has officially opened its recruitment portal for candidates seeking employment across Group-B, Group-C, and Group-D categories under two separate centralized advertisements — Advertisement No. 08/2024 and Advertisement No. 07/2024. The notification, published by the All Government Job and Sarkari Naukri portal, confirms that eligible Indian nationals can apply through the prescribed online format for the advertised posts.
The recruitment drive covers a wide spectrum of positions spanning multiple zones and departments within the Indian Railways ecosystem. While the exact number of vacancies under each advertisement has been detailed on the official railway recruitment website, these drives typically include roles such as Junior Engineer, Traffic Apprentice, Commercial Apprentice, Track Maintainer, Permanent Way Worker, and various other technical and non-technical positions.
The application window is open from January 7, 2025, and will remain active until February 22, 2025. Candidates are required to submit their applications exclusively through the online mode; no offline applications are being accepted. Aspirants are advised to complete their applications well before the deadline, as the portal is likely to experience heavy traffic in the final days.
Indian Railways remains one of the largest employers in the country, with millions of employees spread across dozens of zones. Group-D posts are typicallyEntry-Level positions requiring minimum 10th-pass qualification, Group-C positions generally require a diploma or bachelor's degree depending on the role, and Group-B posts often demand specialized professional qualifications. Successful candidates receive government employment benefits including pension schemes, medical facilities, and job security under central government norms.
Candidates are encouraged to regularly check the official Indian Railways recruitment portal and Zonal Railway websites for updates regarding exam schedules, admit card releases, and result declarations.
