SSE and JE are supervisory posts and you will be responsible for the maintenance of signalling assets installed at railway stations in a particular section. The job is technical in nature and command respect in the railway fraternity as subject of signal interlocking is in the knowledge domain of this cadre only. The posting is generally stable with few transfers in the division only. The experience makes you eligible for posting in Railway PSUs, metro railways and private sector.

The job profile is technical and smooth as long as equipment works satisfactorily but requires day and night working during breakdowns. You continue to work in the same division till promoted to the officers cadre.
There are other posts of Design and Drawing where the work involves preparation of drawing, estimates for sanctioned works and assisting concerned officer.

The seats at RDSO and workshop for E&C candidates will never be much at the most one or two. I have explained the working hours and stability aspect in the post where you have posted this quarry. When the working hours are more, means you are wanted for the job and therefore, commands respect and authority. Therefore, working hours shall not be treated with dis-taste. Stability is generally there in all the jobs.If it is nil in RDSO and workshop, it will be 2 or three in field job.

I understand you have joined JE (2014 exam) and now appeared in SSE(2015) exam. NOC is important when you want to take credit of your previous service. Suppose you are selected in 2015 and joins your new post, than the previous service should get linked. After you get selected, write to Sr.DPO/and your BO about your selection to the post and request for relieving. There should not be any reason for not relieving.

Sir ,I am selected je loco in Central railway of rrb Mumbai . I have b.tech in electrical engineering. Sir tell me about my posting place possiblity in Central railway. Or which division are allote me.
the statement, ‘The department has gained importance with the development of new technologies for safe running of trains and increasing sectional capacity.’ is not completely true. the department is important but still Indian railways do not have that much importance of the department and consequently the S & T employees.
I should not comment on the comparative importance of different departments but S&T is an important department and gaining importance. DG post equivalent to Member has been created.

Sir
I am working in a nationalised bank as asst. manager (scale 1) from last 3 years around. Now selected as SSE (telecom). Pls suggest me whether I should join or not. I am B.tech and M.tech (Ece )
I will suggest to avoid as compared to your present posting. You will not get any benefit because of b.tech or m.tech. I understand asst. manager is through probationary officer examination, even otherwise i don’t think you will like group c post.
Thank u for your reply Sir.
But what about technical and nontechnical job nature. Also tell me the family life as sse telecom.
Waiting for ur reply sir
I had written on this in my blog. Pl search on the web content.

Sir I completed my b.tech in civil engineering If got selected in technicain post grade 3 can I have option to write JE Telecom exam
Sir, For JE in S&T which was better to choose in between Signal and Telecom
JE (signal) is challenging with responsibility as compared to JE(tel). The experience of JE (sig) will always be on demand in the pvt. sector whereas that of tele. is not worth as the same is no different as compared to what the industry offers.
Sir please tell me what do mean by “always be on demand in private sector”.
I got selected for the same JE in signal and also can you tell me about pros and cons of je in signal
