RRB Siliguri Recruitment: The Complete Guide

RRB Siliguri is the “Board of Choice” for aspirants from North Bengal (Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar, Cooch Behar) and Eastern Bihar (Katihar, Kishanganj).

A selection here ensures a posting in the scenic foothills of the Himalayas, the tea gardens of Dooars, or the busy transit hubs of NJP.
