Age Criteria and Eligibility Requirements for J.E. Selection in Bridge Organisation under Civil Engineering Department
In Railway Board’s RBE No. 92/2023, the Ministry of Railways has decided to revise the age limit for the selection of Junior Engineers (JE) in the Bridge Organisation under the Civil Engineering Department. As per the existing instructions, the upper age limit for candidates appearing for the selection to the post of JE (Bridge) against the IA quota was 45 years (as stated in RBE 102/2015). However, in response to a matter raised by the All India Railwaymen Federation (AIRF), the Ministry reviewed the issue and decided to increase the upper age limit.
