Tips Before Filling Zone Preference
Candidates should carefully choose their preferred RRB zone before submitting the application form. Since changing the allotted railway zone later is generally difficult, it is important to consider the following factors before selecting a zone.
- Vacancy vs Competition: Compare the number of vacancies with the expected competition in each RRB zone before making your choice.
- Home State Preference: Selecting a zone closer to your home can reduce travel, relocation, and emergency-related difficulties.
- Transfer Policy: Inter-zonal transfers are generally difficult and may take several years, so choose your preferred zone carefully.
- Trade Availability: Ensure that your ITI trade has sufficient vacancies in your preferred RRB zone.
- Medical Standards: Confirm that you meet the prescribed medical standards, especially the vision requirements, for the Technician post you are applying for.
