Konkan Railway Corporation Limited has thrown open 40 contract positions at its Rolling Stock Component Factory in Lote, Chiplun — and skipped the usual written-exam route entirely. Every one of these 11 roles, from Technical Assistants to a Safety Officer, will be filled purely through walk-in interviews spread across a week and a half in July.

What makes this notification worth reading twice is the staggered scheduling: KRCL hasn't clubbed all 11 posts into a single interview day. Each trade group gets its own date, which means candidates eyeing more than one role need to plan around multiple visits to the venue rather than one.

Post-Wise & Category-Wise Vacancy Break-up

CNC Machine Operator carries the single largest share at 10 posts, followed by Technician (Fitter) at 8 — together accounting for nearly half of all 40 vacancies.

Before You Show Up

Because this is a walk-in process rather than an online application, there's no registration number to track or admit card to download. The trade-off is that candidates carry the responsibility of confirming their own eligibility beforehand — qualification, trade experience, and age criteria for each post are laid out in the detailed notification on KRCL's website, and it's worth reading that in full rather than relying on the summary poster alone.

Since all 40 positions are contract engagements at a component manufacturing facility rather than regular railway posts, candidates with hands-on trade experience in machining, welding, fitting, or material handling are likely to find this a more direct route in than the usual competitive railway exams.
