South Western Railway has invited applications from ITI-pass candidates to engage them as Act Apprentices against 904 slots in its divisions and workshops for a period of one year. Online application submission through www.rrchubli.in started on July 3. The last date for submission of application is August 2.
Preference will be given to candidates who have registered with local employment exchanges in Karnataka, and the adjoining districts of neighbouring States being served by the SWR, including Dharmapuri, Salem and Vellore in Tamil Nadu, Anantapur and Chittor in Andhra Pradesh, Sangli in Maharashtra, and Goa State.
The selected candidates will be paid a stipend of ₹7,000 a month during the training period without there being any boarding or lodging facilities. The advantage, however, would be that the course completed Act-Apprentices get 20% reservation in open market recruitment.
