RRB recruitment 2018: 13,000 more Railways jobs soon; 50% seats for women in RPF recruitment 2018

RRB recruitment 2018: Union Minister of Railways Piyush Goyal on Sunday said that 50 per cent of total seats in the upcoming RFP recruitment would be reserved for women. Zee News quoted Goyal as saying that the reservation would lead to greater representation of women in Railways' staff. Around 10,000 posts would be filled through RPF recruitment 2018.

 Goyal's announcement comes just a few days after a goods train with an all-woman staff was flagged off during the renaming ceremony of Mughalsarai Junction to Deel Dayal Upadhyay Station in eastern Uttar Pradesh.

The minister also said that 13,000 more Railways jobs would be announced soon and recruitment to these posts would be done through a computer-based test and not an interview.
