- An Assistant Station Master can be relocated to a rural area very easily.
- A Traffic Assistant or Commercial Apprentice can get a lot of leeway in this case.
Hence, choose the RRB wisely.
RRB Post Preference #3: Gender
The Railway Recruitment Board decided on the exact number of Male and Female employees they want for a particular non-technical post.
There are again multiple factors that judge the overall capabilities, like physical strength, job profile, working hours, pay scale etc.
Our Post Preference on the basis of Gender is as follows.
RRB NTPC Post Name | Male | Female |
Commercial Apprentice (CA) | 1 | 1 |
Traffic Apprentice (TA) | 2 | 5 |
Enquiry-Cum-Reservation Clerk (ECRC) | 5 | 2 |
Goods Guard | 4 | 9 |
Junior Accounts Assistant/ Typist (JAA) | 7 | 4 |
Senior Clerk cum Typist | 6 | 3 |
Assistant Station Master (ASM) | 3 | 6 |
Traffic Assistant | 8 | 7 |
Senior Time Keeper | 9 | 8 |
For all those who didn’t understand the above table, here it is.
- The numbers from 1 to 9 signify the post preference order of both male and female under the Non-Technical RRB Jobs.
- Hence, the Post ranked as 1 will be most preferred, which we can see from the above table, is Commercial Apprentice.
- There are a few factors like untimely job shifts, 24-hour support, which renders a lot of manual labour. Hence such jobs are ranked on the lower side.
We hope candidates refer to this data while filling post preferences for RRB Non-Technical Exam 2016.
RRB Post Preference #4: Eye Vision
It might come as a big shock to a lot of candidates. The Railway Recruitment Board lays a lot of emphasis on optimal eye vision. There are a particular set of predefined standards which have to maintained for various job posts in the Non-Technical Cadre.
RRB NTPC 2016 Posts | Eye Vision Standards |
Assistant Station Master (ASM), Goods Guard (GG), Traffic Assistant and Traffic Apprentice (TA) | Distant vision: 6/9, 6/9 without glasses
Near Vision: 0.6, 0.6 without glasses and must pass test for Colour, Binocular, Night Vision & Field of Vision |
Enquiry-Cum-Reservation Clerk (ECRC), Junior Accounts Assistant/ Typist (JAA), Senior Clerk cum Typist and Senior Time Keeper | Distant Vision: 6/12, 6/18 with OR without glasses
Near Vision: 0.6, 0.6 without glasses and must pass test for Colour, Binocular, Night Vision & Field of Vision |
A number of candidates might be getting confused about all this. The best option is to get yourself checked by a specialist and know if there is any vision related issue. An official prescription will help a lot.
Fill preference after considering each of these options carefully. But the most important factor should always be in mind, selecting the field of interest.
All the Best!

किसी उम्मीदवार ने सहायक स्टेशन मास्टर का विकल्प चुना और वह ” दृष्टि परीक्षा” मे फेल हो जाता है जबकि उसकी दृष्टि JAA या clerk के लिए सही है। तो क्या उसे यह मौका मिलता है या सिर्फ प्रथम विकल्प (जो उसने क्वालीफाई किया है) के लिए ही दृष्टि परीक्षा पास या फेल करनी होती है? कृपया authentic उत्तर ही दें। धन्यवाद!
सभी पदों के लिए एक कंप्यूटर आधारित टेस्ट (CBT) लिया जाएगा। उम्मीदवारों को पद की वरीयता क्रम का चयन अपनी पसंद और योग्यता का ध्यान रखते हुए करना चाहिए। ऐसा इसलिए क्योंकि अगर आप CBT में पास भी हो गए, तो भी मेडिकल टेस्ट या किसी भी अन्य टेस्ट में फेल होने से आपको असफल ही माना जाएगा। यहां तक कि किसी अन्य वैकल्पिक नियुक्ति के लिए भी आपके नाम का विचार नहीं किया जाएगा।
Can you tell me how many people have applied for RRB 2016 Exam?
We cannot provide an approximate number but what our sources tell, an overwhelming number of 98 lakh+ candidates have applied for 18252 Non-technical posts this year.
Job preference jo mangi gayi he, isme mujhe ye confusion he ki agar CBT me ho gaya to job preference k anusar baki test liya jayega ya fir 1st preference me nahi tika to dusra preference ka option hi nh milega??
Candidates should give their order of preference of post(s) or the Railways/Production Units while applying. RRB will fill the post and the Railway/Production Unit to the selected candidates as per the preference of the candidates subject to merit and vacancy position. However, in case of administrative exigencies/requirements, RRBs reserve the right to fill any post/Railway, subject to suitability of the candidate.
