the posts are now proposed to be filled through a separate recruitment drive While the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have traditionally recruited Station Masters through the Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) graduate-level recruitment process. Railway Station Master Recruitment: The Indian Railways is expected to announce a recruitment drive for around 1,200 Station Master posts in the coming days.
Candidates must hold a graduation degree from a recognised university. As no specific academic stream has been prescribed, graduates from any discipline may be eligible to apply. However, candidates must wait for the official recruitment notification to confirm the eligibility criteria. The selection process for Station Master recruitment is also proposed to change. The existing two-stage Computer-Based Test (CBT) process is proposed to be replaced by a single-stage CBT, followed by a Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) and the subsequent verification stages.
Under the proposed process, up to eight times the number of notified vacancies may be shortlisted for the aptitude test. The proposed examination will carry 100 marks and have a duration of two hours.
The questions will cover the following areas: Candidates will be shortlisted for the Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) based on their performance in the CBT, according to the proposed examination pattern.
