Note on a discrepancy in the notification: the age-group table in the notification labels the OBC column as "18 to 47 Years", while clause 2.1 and the OBC date of birth (02.01.1982) point to an upper limit of 45 years. The table above follows clause 2.1 and the date of birth; candidates should confirm this with the official notification.

  • No age relaxation is allowed to SC/ST/OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates applying against unreserved vacancies.

  • Proof of age: any one of the Birth Certificate issued by the competent authority, OR the Class 10th (or equivalent) Certificate/Mark Sheet indicating the date of birth, OR the School Leaving Certificate clearly mentioning the date of birth, and the same recorded in the service record of the employee.

  • OBC-NCL candidates must also furnish a declaration in the format at Annexure-H (1) that they do not belong to the creamy layer. The certificate should not be older than one year at the time of Document Verification. If these stipulations are not complied with, the OBC-NCL claim will not be entertained and the candidate, if otherwise fulfilling the General (UR) conditions, will be considered under General (UR) vacancies only.

  • There is no separate reservation of posts for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), as per Railway Board's letter No. E(NG)I-2018/PM1/23 dated 02/05/2019 (RBE No. 72/2019).

  • The crucial date for the claim of SC/ST/OBC status or any other benefit such as reservation and age relaxation, where not specified otherwise, is the closing date for submission of online applications.

  • Reservation for PwBD is a horizontal reservation and is applicable in GDCE, as per Railway Board's letter No. E(NG)1-2019/PM4/8 dated 27.12.2022.
