Compassionate Ground appointment

  • In case of Compassionate Ground appointment, category allotted to a candidate could be considered for change only before a candidate accepts the offer of appointment and goes for medical examination.
  • Once the candidate accepts the offer of appointment and goes for medical examination then change of category can be considered only on account of medical unfitness or by an authority higher than the one who has decided the category of allotment. (Ref 4)

Dear Sir,

 

I have been working in Nanded Division as Goods Guard since 2010 and now I selected for Vijayawada division as Goods Guards. I had applied first for Vijayawada Division then for Nanded Division through RRB. Now, I want to leave Nanded Division and want to join Vijayawada Division.

Please let me know the rules for this.

Respected Sir,

I got selected as a Goods Gourd but yet to join. I simply can not handle it's working condition. I want to change the post category.

Is it possible to change the category? Can I switch to other Office job post like Commercial department, Railway School etc? For your kind information I have required qualification as I am an M.Sc. & B.Ed. in Economics.

What procedure should one follow to change the category? Where one must write to sort out this problem?

There are various office job posts in Indian Railway. This problem can be solved easily.

Please write about it. Your information will be very valuable for me and also it will enhance my knowledge.
