Southern Railway has issued an urgent public advisory, urging all job seekers to remain vigilant against cunning individuals who are making false promises of railway employment in exchange for money. In a statement released on Friday, railway authorities confirmed that they have uncovered multiple instances where fraudsters impersonate senior railway officials to deceive unsuspecting applicants.
It is crucial for everyone to understand that recruitment for Indian Railways strictly follows a transparent, standardized, and merit-based selection process, conducted exclusively by official bodies such as the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) and Railway Recruitment Cells (RRCs). There are absolutely no shortcuts, unauthorized intermediaries, or coaching centers endorsed by the Railways, RRBs, or RRCs to facilitate employment. Be wary of anyone claiming otherwise.

All authentic notifications and updates concerning railway recruitment are published solely on the official websites of RRB Thiruvananthapuram and RRB Chennai, as well as the RRC website.
