Sub:- Educational qualification for recruitment to Group 'C' posts in civil Engineering Department on the Railways. Ref: Letter No. E (NG)-II/2001/RR-1/6 dated 18.5.2001 (RBE No. 97/2001). The issue of review of prescribed educational qualification for direct recruitment to supervisory post of Junior Engineer, Gr.II (Rs. 5,000-8,000) and Section Engineer (Rs. 6,500-10,500) in Civil Engineering Department has been under examination of Ministry of Railways (Railway Board). This review was necessitated owing to demand raised in meeting with Chairmen, Railway Recruitment Boards held in June 2007 wherein several Railway Recruitment Boards stated that pure Civil/Mechanical Engineering as a subject is rarely chosen by students in a Degree or Diploma course nowadays. These days preference is given by students for specialized courses like Construction/Structural/Production/Instrumentation Engineering etc. As only, Degree/Diploma in Civil/Mechanical Engineering are accepted as qualification for the posts of Section Engineer and Junior Engineer, Grade-II respectively in Civil Engineering Department on the Railways, it results in rejection of large number of applications and Railways do not get appropriate number of candidates from open market. 2 In consultation with Civil Engineering Directorate of this Ministry, it has now been decided by the Board that henceforth direct recruitment qualification for the following posts in Civil Engineering department on the Railways will be as under: Sr. No i) Post JE-II (P Way) (Erstwhile PWI, Gr.III) Rs. 5000-8000 Existing Qualification for DR Diploma in Civil Engg.
