No.E(NG)II/96/RR-1/62/Vol.II, dated 01.11.2006
Sub: Recruitment of Group ‘D’ staff on Indian Railways.
Ref: This office letter of even number dated 18.07.2005 (RBE No. 121/2005) and 29.09.2005 (RBE No. 166/2005).
Please refer to Board’s letter quoted above, wherein the powers for recruitment of Group ‘D’ staff was delegated to Zonal Railways.
The procedure for recruitment of Group ‘D’ staff has been reviewed by the Board. After detailed deliberations, it has now been decided that in partial modification of instructions contained in letters under reference, following procedure may be followed:
(i) The recruitment procedure for Group ‘D’ posts on the Railways will now consist of a Physical Efficiency Test (PET) followed by a written test of the successful candidates found fit in the PET.
(ii) Separate notifications should be simultaneously issued by all the Zonal Railways on pre-defined dates after working out the Group ‘D’ vacancies of all Divisions/ Workshops/ Production Units and other organizations falling within the territorial jurisdiction of the Zonal Railway processing recruitment.
(iii) For Physical Efficiency Test, a candidate can appear in the examination to be conducted by the Division where he/she is domiciled or the contiguous Division, in case if there is no Railway line in his/her area.
(iv) The individual Zonal Railway will then conduct written test for the candidates who have qualified the PET in the Divisions under their jurisdiction.
Zonal Railways may immediately make a critical and detailed assessment of vacancies including physically handicapped quota vacancies to be filled up so that notifications are issued simultaneously by them. Deputy Chief Personnel Officer, Recruitment Cell should have the vacancy position available with him by 15th November, 2006.
The ongoing recruitment process for Group ‘D’ selection where notification has already been published by a Zonal Railway will, however, be governed by the procedure contained in letters dated 18.07.2005 (RBE No. 121/2005) and 29.09.2005 (RBE No. 166/2005) referred to above.
Detailed guidelines will follow.
