Attention! RPF recruitment notification for 19800 Constable posts is FAKE, clarifies Railways

The Railway Protection Force (RPF) on January 10 rubbished the notification regarding the recruitment of 19,800 constables, clarifying that neither the RPF nor the Railway Ministry has issued such notification.

 “A fictitious message is being circulated on social media and newspapers regarding recruitment for 19800 post of Constable in Railway Protection Force(RPF). It is hereby informed that no such notification has been issued by RPF or Ministry of Railways on their official websites or through any print or electronic media,” the Railway Ministry said in a statement.

The Ministry said that the recruitment news is fake and urged candidates to ignore it completely. “It is to reiterate that the news is fake and must be ignored by all,” the statement said.

There are several false recruitment notifications are circulating on the internet, hence candidates are requested to crosscheck such notification on government or organisation’s – official website.  

Recently, a fake recruitment notification regarding the recruitment of 11,700 Junior Telecom Officers (JTO) posts in Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) was circulated on social media platforms to confuse candidates. The BSNL quickly took to its official Twitter account to clarify that the notification was a hoax.

The Railways Recruitment Board’s (RRB) official website also urges candidates to trust only official website regarding any recruitment announcements.

The RRB official website read, “For any Notice/Information regarding Railway Recruitment Board (RRB), the candidates should visit official websites of RRBs only. Any Information/Notices being circulated in the social media regarding RRBs may please be ignored. Beware of touts & job racketeers trying to deceive by false promises of securing job in Railways either through influence or by use of unfair means.”
