RRB Technician Recruitment 2024: Updated Vacancies, New Categories, and Application Details in Corrigendum 2

The Corrigendum & Addendum No.-2 for the Recruitment of Technicians Gr. III under CEN No. 02/2024, issued by the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs), brings significant changes to the original notification. These modifications are primarily focused on the expansion of available vacancies and the inclusion of additional categories of posts. Initially, the recruitment notice specified 9,144 vacancies for Technician Grade III in 17 categories across the Indian Railways. However, in response to increased demand from various Zonal Railways and Production Units, the vacancy count has been raised to 14,298 with the addition of 22 new categories. This enhancement not only increases the number of opportunities but also diversifies the range of technical fields now covered under this recruitment drive.

The educational qualifications, medical standards, and eligibility criteria for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) have been revised for the newly added categories (Cat. No. 19 to 40). These details are elaborated in Annexure A-2 of the document.

Meanwhile, the parameters for the previously announced categories (Cat. No. 2 to 18) remain unchanged, as defined in the original notification and outlined in Annexure A of CEN No. 02/2024. This ensures that both newly added positions and those already announced are clearly defined in terms of requirements, enabling candidates to understand the specific qualifications and standards needed for each role.

To facilitate the participation of eligible candidates, both new and existing, the recruitment process has been extended. A fresh window for online applications will be opened from October 2, 2024, at 00:01 hrs, and will close on October 16, 2024, at 23:59 hrs. During this period, candidates who are newly eligible can apply for the available posts.

Additionally, those who have already applied under the original notification will be given an opportunity to revise their preferences. This includes the option to change their selected RRB, preferences for Zonal Railways/Production Units, and to reorder their choices for the newly expanded list of Technician Grade III posts.

For those requiring corrections to their submitted applications, a Modification Window will be available from October 17 to October 21, 2024. This service will be accessible with a fee of ₹250 per modification, ensuring that all candidates can correct any mistakes or update their preferences without missing out on the recruitment process. It is worth noting that these amendments supersede the previous Corrigendum & Addendum No. 1, which was released on August 22, 2024. Therefore, any changes made in the earlier document are overridden by this latest update.
