Railways Bumper Recruitment 2025: There’s great news for candidates aspiring to work in the Indian Railways. The Railway Recruitment Cell (RRC) Western Railway has announced bumper recruitment for Apprentice posts. Applications have been invited for a total of 2865 vacancies.
The online application process will begin on 30th August 2025, and interested candidates can apply until 29th September 2025 through the official website wcr.indianrailways.gov.in.
The best part is that 10th, 12th, and ITI pass candidates are eligible to apply. This means even candidates with minimum qualifications have a golden chance to build their career in the Railways.

- Eligibility:

- Must have passed ITI in a trade recognized by NCVT/SCVT.

- CRWS Bhopal – 136 posts
- WRS Quota – 151 posts

Why This Opportunity Stands Out?
The Indian Railways is among the largest employers in the country, and with such a large number of posts, this recruitment is a huge opportunity for the youth. Not only does it provide hands-on training, but candidates who successfully complete their apprenticeship may also receive preference in future permanent railway jobs.
