The South East Central Railway (SECR), headquartered at Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh, has officially announced a fresh recruitment drive for various Group C posts across its jurisdiction. The notification, released as part of the ongoing effort to fill vacant positions within the railway system, is expected to offer several hundred job opportunities to eligible candidates throughout the region.
According to the recruitment advertisement, the posts fall under Category C of the Railway Recruitment Board framework, which typically includes roles such as trackMaintainer, helper, clerk cum typist, commercial cum ticket checker, and other supporting positions that form the backbone of daily railway operations. These positions are classified as non-technical and semi-skilled roles, making them accessible to a wide pool of applicants.
The eligibility criteria have been kept broad to ensure maximum participation. Candidates who have passed their 10th standard examination from a recognized board are eligible for certain posts, while others require a 12th standard pass or equivalent qualification. Some positions may also accept candidates withITI certification in relevant trades, reflecting the practical skill requirements of the roles.
Applicants are required to be Indian nationals and must satisfy the prescribed age limits, which generally range from 18 to 33 years for general category candidates, with relaxations applicable for reserved categories as per government norms. The age relaxation follows standard Railway Recruitment Board guidelines, providing relief to candidates from Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, and economically weaker sections.
The selection process is expected to follow the multi-stage recruitment pattern commonly adopted by the railways, which may include a computer-based test or written examination, followed by document verification and medical fitness checks. Final merit lists will be prepared based on candidates' performance in the selection stages, with preferences given to local residents where applicable under regional quota provisions.
Candidates interested in applying are advised to visit the official SECR Bilaspur recruitment portal or the Railway Recruitment Board website to access the detailed notification, download the application form, and submit their applications within the stipulated timeframe.
