Respected Sir,
I got selected finally for CA around three month back from RRB Chandigarh, but didn't't get any correspondence from NR Hqs. Now, should I contact personally to NR or wait for their letter. Can you give expected date of joining.
Moreover I think the duration of 2 years training of CA is more . Is there any possibility of reduction of training period in future or there is change in amount of stipend.
In one of comments of this page it is given that in some of the divisions the time to be promoted to next grade pay is more than 10 yrs, is it true.
Thanks

With the decision of Railway
With the decision of Railway Board regarding the seniority of commercial apprentice i.e. they will be placed below 4200, has created confusion as the main intention of Railways were to bring up in senior supervisors level in quickest time, so that they were available for middle management in Railways, but now they are placed at the bottom of 4200 and there is no exam being conducted for 4600 as the promotion to employee is being given purely in seniority so it will took almost 10 more years to come to the grade of 4600.It seems that Railways is on the suicidal path. God help the Railways

Dear Abhinav It depends on
Dear Abhinav
It depends on what grounds you have been selected in the Railways, If it is through the RRB then post selection you may be posted to a division of a Zonal Railway whose vacancy was filled through the RRB exam you appeared for . And if it is on compassionate grounds then the Division your parent was working in ,will be alloted to you. Even in this case one can never be sure securing a posting as CC at Delhi as it depends on the vacancy position. Once selected for the post of commercial clerk you will be directed to the personal branch (Establishment section ) of a particular Division, they will be the ones who will let u know the vacancy position .

Respected Sir,
I want to know that what is the training period of a commercial apprentice. Is it reduced by two years to one year.Because I heard that some divisions like Bhavnagar @ Rajkot have already joined of those candidates who were completed only one year of their apprenticeship. Is it wrong or right? please clarify me Sir.
