Sub:   Minimum recruitment qualification – candidates with higher qualifications.

Please refer to your office letter No.RRB/SC/REC/201/Vol.IV, dated 28.05.2001, seeking clarification as to whether the candidates with higher qualification such as BE, B.Tech etc. are eligible for the posts of J.E. II (for which Diploma in Engineering is the minimum qualification).
