The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has announced plans to recruit 9000 Technicians, following the ongoing Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) application process. RRB is in the final stages of preparing centralized notifications, with the release imminent. Previously, the Railways filled 64,371 ALP and Technician posts in 2018. Concerns arose in Patna due to limited ALP vacancies, prompting protests. The Technician recruitment process involves a two-stage examination, focusing on technical and general aptitude skills for potential candidates.
