MASTER CIRCULAR
Master Circular No. 29
Training of Non-gazetted Direct Recruits.
At present the orders relating to initial Training of non-gazetted, direct recruits are
contained in a number of office circulars/orders issued from time to time. The
question of consolidation of these existing orders/ circulars into one Master
Circular has been under the consideration of the Ministry of Railways (Railway
Board). They have now decided to issue a consolidated order on the subject as
below for the information and guidance of all concerned.
2. The initial period of training, wherever prescribed for non-gazetted direct
recruits in various categories of Group 'C' posts, is an important pre-requisite to be
successfully completed, before a trainee is absorbed in the post for which he has
been recruited. It is, therefore, not desirable to curtail the initial period of training.
This will apply equally to the training to be imparted in the case of Inter
apprentices as also in the case of departmentally selected candidates against
quota prescribed in certain categories, to be filled by Limited Competitive
Examination among serving eligible employees (e.g. 10% in the case of Traffic and
Commercial Apprentices).
[No. EE(NG)II/87/RR-1/21 dated 30.06.1987 (RBE 171/87)
and E(NG)II/87/RR-1/21 dated 25.11.1988 (RBE 261/88)]
2.1. The General Managers have powers of curtailing period of training
of non-gazetted categories (whether as apprentices or otherwise)
in exigencies of service, ensuring that the prescribed tests/
examinations mandatory for successful completion of training are
complied with. On such curtailment of training, the trainees shall be
posted against the posts for which they have been recruited. They
shall, on such posting, be entitled to benefits as applicable to
incumbents of such posts except seniority and benefit of increment.
Grant of seniority and increments will continue to be regulated as
per existing orders in this regard.
[No. E(NG)II/87/RR-1/21 dated 27.11.1990 (RBE 226/90);
E(NG)I-78 SR 6-42 dated 07.04.1982;
E(NG)I/86/IC 1/3 (PNM/NFIR) dated 02.03.1988 (RBE 93/88);
and E(NG)I/90/IC 1/1 dated 4.2.91 (RBE 25/91)]
3. The qualifying examination at the end of initial training of directly recruited non-
gazetted staff through the Railway Service Commissions (now Railway Recruitment
Boards) must necessarily be a written test.
3.1. The candidates should be warned, at the time of their recruitment
that their retention in service will be dependent on their
successfully completing the training and passing the requisite test.
3.2. The period of training count towards increments even in the case of
those recruits who are sent for training immediately after their
appointment, in terms of Board's letter of 04.02.1991.
3.3. Candidates recruited in the Personnel and Accounts Branches

should be posted against working posts in their respective
Departments for at least a month to acquire the background of the
Railway working before being sent for training.
[Nos. E 55/TR1 61/3 dated 15.06.1956;
 E(NG)58 PA 1-14 dated 27.05.1959;
 E(NG)63/RR1/10 dated 29.03.1963
and E(NG)I/90/IC 1/1 dated 4.2.91 (RBE 25/91)]
4. Apprentices/Trainees, who require initial training before being appointed to a
working post should execute a Service Agreement to serve the Railways for a
minimum prescribed period.
[No. E(NG)55AG 1/3 dated 14.09.1961
and E(NG)58/RC1/150 dated 21.11.1961]
4.1. Apprentices/Trainees who fail to complete the prescribed training
courses satisfactorily may be given a repeat course on the following
conditions: —
a. Stipend to the apprentices should be withheld when an extension/
repeat course is considered necessary for falling to complete the
training successfully at the end of the prescribed period of
training.
b. So far as persons recruited as trainees in the various Group 'C'
categories are concerned
