RRCB No.1/2014
Ltr No. 2013/E(RRB)/25/28 Dated.17.01.2014
Sub.: Streamlining of working of RRBs-Holding of
common RRB examination for the ALP& Technician.
Ref.:
Board's letter No.2009/E(RRB)/25/20 dated 28.10.2009 RRCB No.04/2009
Vide Board's letter under reference comprehensive
orders on the streamlining of functioning of RRB were issued. This process has
been under constant review and scrutiny based on the experiences of
examinations held against CEN of 2010, 2011 & 2012 so that the RRB exams
can be held in more efficient and cost effective manner. It has been noticed
that minimum education qualification for the two categories of ALPs &
Technicians being common (ie, ITI in relevant trade), most of the candidates
applying for these categories are common. Still, conventionally two different
notifications and exams have been issued / organised for these two categories
separately. The results in holding two different exams for same set of
candidates on two different occasions and also if the candidate is selected in
both the exams, he joins against one category of posts leaving the other
vacant. This is also one of the reasons for short Panel.
2. To
streamline and standardize selection procedure and also to address the
problem of short panels in critical safety categories like ALP &
Technicians, Board has decided for
holding a common RRB examination for the ALP & Technicians categories
from 2014 onwards. For this the
following changes in the existing recruitment system are being introduced with
immediate effect.
(i) Nodal
RRB/Chennai will issue a common Centralized Employment Notification on behalf
of alt the participating RRBs for these two categories of post viz. ALPs &
Technicians.
(ii) For
the selection of ALP & Technician, a, common written examination will be
conducted on the same day simultaneously by all the participating RRBs in one
or more sessions depending upon the numbers of candidates applying for the
examination on that RRB.
3. A common structure of question papers
for the written examination of the categories of ALP & Technicians should
be followed/adopted as detailed under, which is in supersession of Boards
letter No.2009/E(RRB)/25/20 pt.dated 05.01.2011 (RRCB No.1/2011) for these two
categories:

4. As per the existing instructions,
candidates to the tune of five times the vacancies are short listed for
appearing in the Psycho-Tests for ALPs. It has now been decided that the number
of candidates to be short-listed for Psycho Test may be increased to eight
times of the vacancies subject to Securing minimum qualifying marks prescribed
for respective community in the written examination on the same lines as ASMs
communicated vide Board's letter No.2013/E(RRB)/ 25/23 dated0 8.10.2013 ( RRCB
No. 1/2013).
5. With a view to avoid shortfall while
preparing the panels, if any, the zone of stand by/waiting list is also being
increased from present 30% to 50% for the above mentioned categories combined
together.
6. It should be clearly brought out in
all the communications to the Candidates that a candidate once empanelled for
any of the posts depending on his choice/merit position will not be considered
for alternative appointment later if he is found medically unfit. Therefore,
the candidates, in their own interest, should satisfy themselves about
fulfilling the prescribed medical standards before opting for various posts.
These modifications are issued with the
approval of Board and may be implemented from CEN 01/2014 onwards.
