Sub: Relaxation in upper age limit for direct recruitment to non-gazetted posts on the Railways.
Ref: Board’s letter of even number dated 07.03.2024 (RBE No.22/2024)
In continuation to Board’s letter under reference, it has been decided to extend relaxation of 3 years in upper age limit (as presently provided for the ongoing direct recruitment exercise for the posts of Assistant Loco Pilot under CEN 01/2024 and Technician category under CEN 02/2024) for direct recruitment from open market to all the posts to be notified by Railway Recruitment Boards during the calendar year 2024. This is to give relief to candidates who may have become over-aged and have missed the opportunity to appear in recruitment in Railways due to Covid pandemic. This relaxation in upper age limit is over and above the 3 years relaxation already available above the prescribed upper age limit in open market recruitment to non-gazetted posts in Railways vide letter under RBE No.25/2018.
