Indian Railways has formally issued a notification for the recruitment of 118 Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) vacancies across its various zones and departments. The employment notice was released to fill posts that have remained vacant due to attrition, retirements, and the expansion of operational requirements in several railway territories.
The Multi-Tasking Staff positions fall under Level 2 of the Pay Commission pay matrix, with a starting monthly salary ranging between Rs 18,000 and Rs 56,900 depending on the grade pay and allowances applicable to the specific posting. Candidates who are at least 18 years old and have passed the 10th standard examination from a recognized board are eligible to apply for these posts.
The recruitment will be conducted through a Written Examination followed by a Document Verification process. Candidates will be shortlisted based on their performance in the written test, and final selection will be made according to merit combined with reservation quotas as per government guidelines. Applications are being accepted through the official Railway Recruitment Board portal, and prospective candidates are advised to complete their registration well before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical glitches.
This recruitment drive comes at a time when Indian Railways continues to expand its workforce to meet growing service demands across one of the largest rail networks in the world. The MTS roles typically involve duties such as assisting in maintenance work, handling administrative tasks, supporting station operations, and providing general assistance across railway establishments. These positions are considered entry-level government jobs and remain highly sought after by job seekers across the country, particularly from rural and semi-urban areas where government employment carries significant value.
Career experts note that clearing an Indian Railways examination provides not only financial stability but also social security benefits including pension, medical coverage, and job protection — factors that continue to drive massive applicant volumes for such notifications despite the relatively modest number of vacancies being offered.
