Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has made a stand and clarified the fuss created over the upper age limit in the recently held railway recruitment. In an official notification from the Indian Railways, it clearly mentions the upper age limit which is 27 for the position of Assistant Loco Pilot and Technician. Indian Railways mentioned that in the para 137(2)(ii) of the Manual Vol.I of the Indian Railway Establishment that was revised in 1989 and reprinted in 2009.

The RRB also shed light on few more areas of interest. As per RRB, the decision is nothing more than a temporary measure. The Railways Ministry had already allowed a relaxation of 3 years, that is until February 3, 2015. According to the manual of the Indian Railways, 30 is the upper age limit for OBC candidates, and for the SC/ST candidates is 32 years.Meanwhile, in a good news, the Indian Railways have released more than 60000 jobs in Railway Group D vacancy 2018. As per a centralised notification that has been released by the Railways, a total of 62907 vacancies are available at indianrailways.gov.in. Candidates who wish to join the Indian Railway should go ahead and visit the official website.
