NEW DELHI: Indian Railways will hold a mega recruitment drive in three phases starting December 15 to fill up about 1.4 lakh vacancies in which more than 2.4 crore candidates will appear in different cities across the country. The ministry said RRBs have made extensive preparations for conducting examinations of this large scale amid the pandemic times following standard operating procedures as laid down by government to ensure social distancing, compulsory use of masks, sanitisers and curtailing shifts for conducting exams to only two shifts per day.
Efforts are being made by RRBs to ensure that as far as possible the candidates are accommodated in their own state so that they can reach their exam centres without much difficulty. Women and candidates with disabilities are being accommodated within their home states.
