RRB Chandigarh Recruitment: The Complete Guide

RRB Chandigarh is often regarded as the “Premier Board” among aspirants because a selection here frequently leads to a posting in New Delhi (Baroda House) or the prosperous belts of Punjab and Haryana. It manages the recruitment needs for the heart of the Northern Railway zone.

RRB Chandigarh Jurisdiction & Divisions

Northern Railway is the largest zone in India, but recruitment is split among multiple boards (Chandigarh, Jammu, Lucknow, etc.). RRB Chandigarh specifically handles recruitment for:

• Northern Railway Headquarters (Baroda House): Recruitment for administrative and ministerial staff stationed in New Delhi.
• Delhi Division: The busiest division in Indian Railways, covering the National Capital Territory, Western UP, and parts of Haryana.
• Ambala Division: Covers the major industrial and agricultural hubs of Haryana, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh (including the Kalka-Shimla heritage route).
• Jagadhri Workshop (JUDW): A major Carriage & Wagon workshop located in Yamuna Nagar.
• Stores Depot (Shakurbasti): The central logistics hub for the Northern zone.

Competitive Insight: Due to the desirability of Delhi and Chandigarh as posting locations, the cutoff marks for this RRB are historically higher than boards like Malda or Siliguri.
