Hello Swarup. Same situation like yours…..contact me on 8371839853
Hi sir,
I got selected as je in workshop and now I am in training. I also got offer for sse gs .
I want time for preparation for lecturer job. I have done mtech I want to take up lecturer job.
My question is , which job should I choose so that I get
1) Max time for preparation
2) easy releaving process like bond…
3) I already got offer letter but I didn’t join , but CEE sir called me and asked me to join. Also he told me about sanctioning leaves if required.
Sse Gs training will be for one year.
I am in dilemma now which one I have to choose .
1. Time for preparation shall not be different on both the jobs.
2. You are changing from JE(Wks) to SSE GS, then the bond should be transferred and there should not be any penalty
3. I doubt, CEE called your for this purpose. There are many ways in which you can manage to get the leave i.e. leave without pay (since you may not having any leave to your credit). Other leaves are only casual leave, LAP which will start accruing after you join credit of 15 days per six month.

Sir
I have been posted as JE/ELECTRIC/TRD ..But I have done graduation in mechanical engineering and I was posted in 2014 after completing my training is it possible to get transferred in diesel loco ..if yes then please guide me
why you are interested to change the stream as even if tried will be of great loss. TRD is the best branch today, as the experience is having good value in outside railway Pvt. company as well. Your basic education is of no consequence in going ahead with a career in TRD.
Sir,
Is there any priority for domicile candidates in rrb je??
I don’t think. It may only be in state government service.
I want one footover bridge profile
Can a JE( GS) Should be promoted as SSE/TRD if yes then according to which circular because electrical General service and TRD is different cadre and seniority
How is TRD department in Indian Railway?
As an electrical engineer what are the disadvantages if any in diesel electrical.. specially with respect to promotions..
