About Railway Sports Quota Recruitment
The Railway Recruitment Cell (RRC) conducts “Open Advertisement” recruitment drives every financial year to hire talented sportspersons for Indian Railways.

Selection is based purely on your sports performance (Medals/Participation) and field trials.
- No Written Exam: 100% Sports & Skill based selection.
- Age Limit: 18-25 Years (Strictly, No Relaxation).
- Job Type: Permanent Central Govt Job with 7th CPC Salary.
