What a Technician does
Technician posts in Railways, defence PSUs and state electricity boards cover trade-specific maintenance and repair work — electrical, mechanical, fitter, welder disciplines — one level below Junior Engineer in the technical hierarchy. Eligibility is an ITI certificate in the relevant trade, and — as with other ITI-level posts — a trade mismatch between the candidate's certificate and the advertised vacancy is a common cause of rejection at document verification.
Selection is a trade-specific written test on theory combined with a practical skill or trade test, rather than the general-aptitude papers used for degree-level posts. Railway Technician recruitment through RRB is the highest-volume route into this post nationally, running periodic centralised notifications covering multiple trades and zones at once.
