Stores Cadre Post

The posts  are cadre post of Stores Department. Stores department is responsible for procurement of stores for Mechanical, Electrical and S&T department of Railways and  its storage and issue to different units. You will be posted in a Railway and from there headed to any of the stores depot attached to  the workshop or locomotive maintenance shed. You may find out the location of these units on the website of the Railway and can be sure of your posting.

Job Profile

You will be made incharge of one of the ward of the stores depot after field experience and training. Your duties will be indenting of material, receipt, storage and issuance. The task  does not demand high technical skill except understanding the specification of material and ensuring paper work for quality and quantity. Thus, the job satisfaction may be restricted. The need for having technical knowledge of this post is felt necessary due to the technical nature of the material, understanding specification, qualitative storage, etc. Same is the recruiting system for IRSS having a cadre from different streams of Engineering like Civil, Electrical, Mechanical etc. Therefore, Stores management of Indian Railways  is of technical competency. The medical category is only C1 which may be of help to many.

Work Profile

Thither is a stability of posting and very few transfers. Working hours are fixed without requiring extra hours of work and most importantly, there is no emergency call  beyond office hours.

Promotion Prospects

SSE gets entitled to promotion to the post of Asstt. Material Manager after 5 years of working on confirmation through LDCE which is rather a tough competition for 30% of the total vacancy on the basis of selection. Balance 70% posts are filled up through seniority cum suitability, and your turn comes after 15-20 years of service.

The normal channel for promotion of JE is to SSE and then as mentioned above, but he also becomes eligible for LDCE examination similar to 5 years of experience after confirmation. There are individuals who passed the LDCE competition on their first attempt, but such chances are only 1%. There is no issue for promotion from JE to SSE which is based on seniority and suitability.Screenshot - 24-09-2014 , 20_58_23

      A person joining as CDMS can rise to the level of JA grade post called Dy.Controller of Stores in HQ. If you are able to qualify the Limited departmental competitive examination held almost every two years for filling 30% of the posts ( a tough competition), you can reach to JA grade level and if you compete through regular promotion based on seniority, you will go upto Senior Stores Officer i.e. Senior Scale.

    • Mahesh Kumar Jain says:

      DMS are posted in the Stores depot, and the Stores depot are in workshop and loco sheds. Since you are from Chandigarh which is recruiting for FZP, DLI, Moradabad division and the workshop are at Amritsar and Jagadari whereas Loco shed are at Ludhiana and Ghaziabad. The Central Stores Depot is at Shakur Basti Delhi. These are the places where I think you can be posted depending on the vacancies.
