RRB Group D recruitment 2019-20: Though the only educational qualifications required to apply for the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) Group D posts is class 10, however, for this particular category, the Physical Endurance Test (PET) matters equally. The RRB has released the result of Group D 2018 exam and today, another one lakh Level 1 job application will be released.
As lots of candidates have argued regarding the PET criteria, where male candidates have to carry a weight of 35 kilograms of weight for a distance of 100 metres in two minutes, the female candidates have to carry a weight of 20 kgs to cover the same distance.
Speaking to indianexpress.com, an RRB official said, “As the candidates will be hired for the posts of trackman and gangman, therefore the physical efficiency of the candidates is preferred.” Regarding the need for such a rigorous physical endurance test where female candidates have to lift weight as heavy as 20 kgs, RRB official clarified saying it is the selection criteria that has not changed for decades.
The Railway Group D application process for over one lakh posts will begin from 5 pm on Tuesday, March 12. The candidates who want to apply can do so through all the region based official websites.
