MODE OF SELECTION:

i. Selection of a candidate for training slot of a unit of Eastern railway will be on the basis of merit prepared in respect of all eligible candidates who apply against the notification. Merit list will be prepared on the basis of data/details filled up by candidates in the on line application form. The formula given below in para 5 ii to 5 iii will be followed for determining the merit. If any candidate fills up wrong details then his/her candidature will be cancelled as soon as the discrepancy comes in the notice of Railway Administration. ii. The Select list for Document Verification (DV) will be on the basis of average of marks in the Matriculation and ITI. The formula given below in para 5 iii to 5 iv will be followed for determining the merit. Merit list will be prepared trade/unit/community wise. Candidate must note that no centralized merit list will be formed. iii For the trades for which class 10th pass is the minimum qualification, a separate merit list will be drawn for eligible candidates taking the average of the percentage marks obtained by the candidates in both matriculation (with minimum 50% (aggregate) marks) and ITI examination giving equal weightage to both. For example – A candidate secured 80.58 % marks in Matriculation examination and 91.68% marks in ITI, then marks considered for selection will be ½ [80.58 + 91.68] = 86.13. NOTE:- In case of two candidates having the same marks, the candidate having older age shall be preferred. In case the dates of birth are also same, the candidate who passed the matriculation examination earlier shall be considered first. iv. For the trades for which class 8th pass is the minimum qualification, the merit list would be prepared for all eligible candidates, including those having qualification of matriculation and who opt for these trades, based on the average marks obtained both in class 8th standard and ITI examination, giving equal weightage to both. For example – A candidate secured 80.58% marks in 8th class examination and 91.68% marks in ITI, then marks considered for selection will be ½ [80.58 + 91.68] = 86.13. NOTE:- In case of two candidates have the same marks, the candidate having older age shall be preferred. In case the dates of birth are also same, the candidate who passed the 8th class examination earlier shall be considered first. v. Candidates to the extent of 1.5 times the notified training slots in the respective communities, as per merit prepared in view of above formula, will be called for Document Verification (DV) of unit, to cater to absenteeism and rejection etc. vi. However, the opportunity for training will be given to candidates who are selected as per merit order of their respective community, in the ratio of 1:1 of notified training slots, subject adhering to other prescribed criteria as per railway rules, for example – medical fitness in required category and rules for verification of a candidate etc. vii. A candidate will get selected for training in ONLY one unit of Eastern railway as per procedures mentioned above, based on the comparative community wise merit position of candidate and as per available training slots in his/her trade. viii. In case of any dispute, the decision taken by Railway Administration will be final.
