Sir,

 I am ex-serviceman joined in Indian railway in April 2011,in the post of helper II in electrical.I had no idea that helper II is in grade IV.But i was in Indian air force i was  in grade I category that supervisory level.Presently how I can come to grade one category in railway. I am graduate,computer literate and have huge knowledge of clerical, telecommunication,security, wireless radio etc.Sir please help me in this matter.

After being a supervisor in IAF, a so responisble job, it is rather strange that you took a highly irresponsible decision reagarding chosing your further career without even asking somebody what the job is about............

Now changing category is not that easy. Wait for departmental exams in your cadre. And ask questions before jumping into something even worse.
