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. These vacancies are highly sought after because they offer permanent government jobs in Group C and Group D posts without a written examination. 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.
💰 Railway Sports Quota Salary & Perks (7th CPC)

| Post Level | Basic Pay | Approx. Gross Salary* |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 (Group D) | ₹18,000 | ₹28,000 – ₹32,000 |
