The Railway Recruitment Cell has delayed the scheduled physical efficiency test for railway job aspirants because of adverse weather, promising to release a new date soon.
The Railway Recruitment Cell (RRC) announced that the physical efficiency test, a mandatory component of the ongoing railway recruitment drive, has been postponed due to severe weather conditions affecting several test centres. The decision was taken to ensure the safety of candidates and staff, as heavy rain and flooding were reported in regions where the examinations were scheduled.
In a brief statement, the RRC confirmed that a new date for the postponed test will be communicated shortly. Officials emphasized that the rescheduling will follow the same eligibility criteria and that no additional fees will be charged to the aspirants.
Candidates who have been preparing for the test were advised to stay updated through the official RRC website and affiliated notification channels. The recruitment board reiterated its commitment to a transparent and fair selection process despite the unforeseen delay.
The postponement is expected to push back the overall timeline of the recruitment cycle, but the RRC assured that subsequent stages, including written examinations and document verification, will proceed as per the revised schedule.
