tested for Carrying of Weight to specified distance in specified time first and if successful in this test,
for the Running Test after a recovery gap. Failing in the first Test, i.e. Weight carrying will mean
elimination at that stage itself. The Weight carrying test will involve lifting a sand bag (without any

candidates to be called for Document Verification (DV) will be equal to the number of notified
vacancies (i.e. in the ratio of 1:1).
In case of shortfall in empanelment of candidates or other exigencies, RRB/RRC reserves the right to
utilize the candidates down the merit list if required, as per the merit and option of the candidates.
This however will not confer any vested right on such candidates to be considered for appointment.
