RRB Jammu Recruitment: The Complete Guide

RRB Jammu is unique because it combines operational recruitment for the challenging northern frontiers with technical recruitment for one of India’s largest manufacturing units. It is the “Board of Choice” for aspirants seeking postings in the Kashmir Valley or the industrial belts of Punjab.

RRB Jammu Jurisdiction & Divisions

RRB Jammu has a dual-nature jurisdiction, covering both a massive operational division and a production unit:

• Firozpur Division (Northern Railway): This is one of the largest divisions in India. It covers the rail network in:
  • Punjab: Jalandhar, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Pathankot, and Firozpur.
  • Jammu & Kashmir: The entire Jammu-Katra and Banihal-Baramulla lines.
  • Himachal Pradesh: Portions of the Kangra Valley Railway.
• Rail Coach Factory (RCF), Kapurthala: A premier Production Unit (PU) of Indian Railways located in Punjab. RRB Jammu is the nodal agency for recruiting skilled staff (Technicians, JEs) for manufacturing LHB coaches.
• USBRL Project (Kashmir Valley): Special recruitment often takes place for the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link, a national project requiring staff to work in high-altitude and tunnel sections.

Strategic Note: Candidates often confuse this with RRB Chandigarh. If you want a posting in Jalandhar, Amritsar, or the Coach Factory, RRB Jammu is your target board, not Chandigarh.
