Yes, arts students are eligible for certain railway jobs, depending on the specific requirements of the position and the qualifications they possess. The Indian Railways conducts recruitment exams for various positions, and eligibility criteria can vary based on factors such as the nature of the job, educational qualifications, and skills required.
While some technical positions within the Indian Railways may require specific engineering or technical degrees, there are many non-technical and administrative positions for which arts students may be eligible. For example, positions such as Station Master, Ticket Collector, Commercial Clerk, Clerk cum Typist, Stenographer, Junior Account Assistant, and various other administrative roles may be suitable for arts graduates.
It's important for arts students interested in railway jobs to carefully review the eligibility criteria mentioned in the official recruitment notifications issued by the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) or Railway Recruitment Cell (RRC) for the specific positions they are interested in. These notifications provide detailed information about educational qualifications, age limits, and other requirements for each position. If an arts student meets the eligibility criteria for a particular railway job, they can apply and compete for the position like any other candidate.
