Railway Committee Decision for RRB Group D CEN RRC 01/2019 Exam

1.

CEN RRC-01/2019 (Level-1) will be a single stage exam. There will be no second stage CBT.

2.

RRC wise CBT will be held for Level-1. Also maximum available capacity is recommended to be used, to significantly reduce the number of shifts involved for each RRC and to speed up the examination process.

3.

Percentile based normalization, which is simple and easy to understand, will be used wherever the number of shifts involved are more than one.

4.

Medical standards as prescribed in Indian Railway Medical Manual (IRMM) will be used for different posts of Level-1.

5.

Any available Income and Asset Certificate for candidates, who have applied under Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), will be considered as Valid.

6.

It has been decided to follow revised methodology with special conditions for conduct of CBT for Level-1 due to elimination of 2nd stage CBT etc

7.

This will involve mobilising of additional infrastructure and logistics to conduct CBT for Level-1 with significant increase in per shift requirement. Efforts will be made to have the exam conducting agency (ECA) on board to conduct the CBT for Level-1 as early as possible.

8.

Hence, CBT for Level-1 is planned to be held tentatively from July 2022 onwards.
