This is great news for candidates who have passed the ITI in RRB. Yes, you heard right, only ITI certificate holders will be given priority; this has been indicated in the notification.

Why is this opportunity so important for ITIs?
In some previous RRB Group-D recruitments, you could apply even if you had a 10th pass or other qualifications.
