One of the Zonal Railways has sought a clarification regarding the relevance of educational qualification of ITI/Act Apprenticeship in Electrical Trade or Diploma in Electrical Engineering Branch for selection to the post of JE/Mechanical in pay level- 6 against 25% LDCE Quota (also historically known as Intermediate Apprentice Quota) and similarly the relevance of ITI/Act Apprenticeship Trade in Mechanical or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Branch for selection to the post of JE/Electrical in pay level-6 against the 25% LDCE Quota.
2. The matter has been examined in consultation with the Technical Directorate and attention of Railways/PUs is drawn to the instructions issued vide RBE 92/2014, wherein, the educational qualification of Diploma in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering has been used interchangeably for JE/Mechanical as well as JE/Electrical posts inter alia other subjects & sub streams of these subjects mentioned therein. Attention is also drawn to the instructions issued vide RBE 127/2003, wherein, Graduation in these Engineering subjects has also been allowed to be a permissible qualification for the 25% LDCE Quota, if other eligibility conditions are fulfilled.
3. Therefore, it is clarified that the subjects of Electrical/Mechanical Trades and Diploma/Graduation in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering Branch including their sub stream Branches, if any, may be allowed to be a relevant trade for the purposes of Act Apprenticeship/ITI Trade, for the selection of JE/Mechanical and JE/Electrical respectively, against the 25% LDCE Quota.
