News India Live, Digital Desk: If you are also among those lakhs of students who have been waiting for Railway Group D (Level-1) recruitment for the last several years, then there is a news for you and perhaps this news may make you a little disappointed. There is heated discussion in the market that railways will soon new group d recruitment Is going to be announced, but the number of posts has given everyone sleepless nights.
Dream of 1 lakh, reality of 22 thousand?
We all know that there is a drought of jobs in Railways. The last major recruitment came in 2019 (RRC-01/2019). Now at the end of 2025, news is coming that Railway Board will only 22,000 posts Preparations are underway to fill the vacancy around.
It is absolutely natural for students to be angry. According to RTI and old data of Railways itself, Railways is still lakhs of posts vacant Are lying. In such a situation, students are asking the question, “Only 22 thousand vacancies after a long wait of 6 years? This is like cumin in the camel’s mouth.” Students are in a mood to launch a big movement on social media regarding this. The demand is clear – increase seats.
Biggest fear: Will 10th pass pass out?
After the low number of posts, the second bomb that has exploded is Eligibility Regarding. Till now, any 10th pass (Matriculation) could fill the Group D form. But this time the wind is that ITI (Industrial Training Institute) or Apprenticeship can be made mandatory.
- Will this really happen? Actually, Railways had already indicated that keeping safety in mind, people with technical degree (ITI) will now be taken in technical departments (like engineering, mechanical, electrical).
- Only a few posts (like medical or traffic department) may be left for 10th passers. If this happens, crores of students who have only 10th degree will be out of the race.
Now what next?
At present, the official notification (Detailed Notification) is awaited from the Railways, which may come in December-January. Only then will it be clear how many seats are actually coming and who will be able to fill the form.
But one thing is certain – if the government does not increase the vacancy or relax the eligibility rules, then in the coming days this movement of railway students can be seen on the streets also. Till then, keep up your studies because the competition for 22 thousand seats is going to be historic.
