can anyone confirm for sure the postponement of Cen 3/2012 Written Exam was to be held on 28/10/2012?
becouse only rrb ahmedabad has mentioned about it on its notice for Cen 1/2012
no other rrb has mentioned it or put any notice as per my knowledge.
if anyone has seen any other notice by any rrb please share the details of the notice or the web link of it
 
thanks

it will take a time of 12- 24 months. RRB process are too slow. You have 2nd stage main exam once u clear the first stage, then you will be having cetrificate verification. Once u through with all these process, u will be receiving the appointment letter from the CPO of the zone. Then again you will be having a medical test and cetrificate verification from the respective zone too. If god favours and if you have patience you will get sucess. All the best
