    Dear Mahesh,
    I have question about OCS and OHW engineering. Do you know any sources such as SIEMENS handbook, manual or something like this to design OCS ( overhead catenary system ) and OHW ( overhead wiring ) ? I am very keen to find a reference to learn from that.
    I am looking forward to hear from you.

    Respected Sir

    I’ve also selected for SSE(Mech., workshop,JUDW) that’s medical is going on.
    So in this scenario, what shoud i do?
    EEE is my b.tech’s branch.

    • Mahesh Kumar Jain says:

      SSE is higher grade post, JUDW is stable posting without any transfer and fixed working hours. I suggest you to join JUDW. You may not be able to get the change of posting.

  3. Gurusaravanan.G says:

    Hello Mahesh,
    RRB has conducted SSE exam for the past two years, so what I want to know is will there be still vacancies for SSE?
    Will RRB conduct exam for SSE this year(2016)?

    Dear Mr Mahesh, I have a tie up with a European company who are making inverters basically for solar applications. We can also make for 110 V DC input and 240 V AC output of 2.5 kva rating . Please let me know if there is a demand for the same in Indian railways and where to contact to get our product approved.

    regards Mahesh Hingorani

    • Mahesh Kumar Jain says:

      Indian Railway is not procuring inverters alone. There is demand for the complete solar system.

Please send me the address of current supplier .

  14. SURYA says:

    Sir,Namaste.
    My son has completed B.Tech in Electrical Engg and is preparing for ESE exam.You are requested to give the 1,prospectives of both IRSEE and IRSS(Electrical).Which one is good to reach Top positions.
    2.Different designations right from joining in Both the cadres with Time scale of each designation.

    Please reply at the earliest.Thank you Sir.

    • Mahesh Kumar Jain says:

      Both the cadre is having equal chances of reaching top position. The present CRB is from IRSS and next one may be from IRSEE. It is the age of entry that matters as on date. If one enters in minimum age, Board Member is very likely and if some one lesser by one or two years than General Manager of a Railway otherwise PHOD. However, this is the status today, but what is there in future is difficult to say, if there are changes in the cadre management. Beside this important is not to entangle in vigilance case and continue to have outstanding CR particularly before important promotions such as DRM, PHOD, GM and Member Board. Need not worry about the promotions, it is a set standard and quite OK as compared to State Govt. and even many other Central Govt. jobs.

      • SURYA says:

        Sir,
        Thanks for your prompt reply.
        Please also give Different designations right from joining in Both the cadres with Time scale of each designation.

        Please reply at the earliest.Thank you Sir.

    Now, I got a letter from DRM office to pay 93899 (Training expense) + 17135 (extra payment) for the acceptance of my resignation.

    Sir,I have applied for SSE in Electrical department through compassionate ground.But I have one problem that I fit in B1 mediacal category as my power of lens is -2.5 D but having 6/6 vision with specs.So my question is whether they will reject my candidature,because I have heard that B1 category is eligible in Electrical department…Is it true or Do I need A3 certificate.

    • Mahesh Kumar Jain says:

      There is no dilution in the medical fitness. If it is A3 means A3 irrespective of civil, electrical etc.
