The Railway Recruitment Board (RRC) has delayed the scheduled physical efficiency test for railway job aspirants due to adverse weather conditions and announced a new date for the exam.
The Railway Recruitment Board (RRC) announced that the physical efficiency test for candidates applying for railway positions has been postponed. The decision was taken after severe weather conditions made it unsafe for candidates to travel to test centres across the country. RRC officials said the safety of aspirants and staff was the primary concern.
In a statement released on its official portal, the board confirmed that the postponed test will be rescheduled, and the new date will be communicated shortly. Candidates are advised to keep checking the RRC website for updates and to retain their original application numbers for the re‑scheduled exam.
The postponement affects thousands of candidates who were preparing for the physical test as part of the multi‑stage railway recruitment process. The RRC urged aspirants to use the additional time to continue their preparation and to stay informed about any further announcements.
The move aligns with standard practice of deferring large‑scale examinations when weather conditions pose logistical challenges, ensuring fairness and safety for all participants.
Applicants are reminded to verify the authenticity of any communication regarding the new test date and to avoid third‑party scams that often surface during such delays.
