West Central Railway Selection Process
- A merit list made up of all qualified applicants who respond to the notification will be used as the basis for the West Central Railway Apprentice selection procedure. In creating this merit list, the average scores from the 10th-grade exam or its equivalent (as determined by the 10+2 examination system) will be taken into account in addition to the marks from the ITI/Trade exam.
- Based on the trade, division, unit, and community that the candidate selected, the merit list will be arranged. In compliance with current regulations, the concerned division or unit will verify the documents. After verifying the candidate’s eligibility, the relevant department or division will move forward with the hiring.
- When two applicants have identical scores, the elder applicant will be given preference. If two candidates have the same date of birth, the one who passed the matriculation exam first will be given preference.
- The trade, division/unit, and community will be taken into consideration while compiling the final merit list. According to the previously stated criteria, this list will reflect the number of open spots and be arranged in descending order of each candidate’s percentage of marks.
- The RRC reserves the discretion to assign waiting list candidates from a particular trade to other divisions or units based on merit if there is a dearth of candidates in that trade in any division or unit.
