Good news for Railway jobs aspirants whose applications were rejected In what came as a good news for the Railway jobs applicants, the railways has decided to give a second chance to 70,000 candidates, whose job applications were rejected due to faulty upload of photos. The department has decided to give such candidates a window of three days to rectify their mistakes. While scrutinising the applications, officials realised that out of the 48 lakh applications received by railways for the 26,500 posts of assistant loco pilots and technicians, 1.33 lakh were found to be ineligible for varied reasons. “We realised that among the total applications that were found ineligible, around 1.27 lakh candidates were found ineligible for invalid pictures. We decided to look at those applications again and give them a second chance. “Out of the 1.27 lakh people, now, 70,000 have been asked to make the changes in the pictures and upload them again,” said Rajesh Dutt Bajpai, Director Information and Publicity, Railway Board. The railways has given candidates three days — July 18-July 20 — to rectify their mistakes and upload their pictures on the railway recruitment board site. Sources say that applications of another 57,000 candidates were internally reviewed and re-considered, without any need for changes from applicants’ side. Out of the total applications found ineligible, only 7,000 applications were rejected because of earlier cases of cheating or any other reasons for which they were barred from appearing from railway exams. The 70,000 applicants, who were given a second chance, were sent emails and messages, asking them to rectify their mistakes. (With inputs from PTI)
