observed<\/a> in the Northern Railway Zone, with 32,468 vacancies. Following closely are the Eastern and Western Railways with 29,869 and 25,597 vacancies, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis information was shared by Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in response to queries posed by BJP MP Sushil Kumar Modi during a session in the Rajya Sabha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vaishnaw clarified that the process of filling these vacancies is ongoing, as the Indian Railways is a vast organization with continuous operational requirements. The vacancies are typically addressed through recruitment agencies based on the needs identified by the Railways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.28 Lakh Candidates Selected for Group \u2018C\u2019 Posts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nUp to June 30, 2023, a total of 1.28 lakh candidates have been selected for Group ‘C’ posts, excluding level-1 positions, while 1.47 lakh candidates have been chosen for level-1 posts. Vaishnaw emphasized that once candidates are selected, they are not kept on a waiting list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In terms of reservation, Vaishnaw noted that a 10 percent quota is reserved for the appointment of retired Agniveers as constables in the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the Railway Protection Special Force (RPSF). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that Agniveers are exempt from the Physical Efficiency Test during recruitment when applicable. Additionally, horizontal reservation of 10 percent in Level-1 and 5 percent in Level-2 and above is provided to Agniveers against the Direct Recruitment Quota of various non-gazetted posts, provided they meet the eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Agniveers, under the Agnipath scheme, are recruited into the armed forces for a four-year term, with 25 percent of them being retained after this period. The Indian government has also announced a 10 percent quota for former Agniveers in vacancies within the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and the Border Security Force (BSF).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
