Indian Railway Management Service Recruitment 2023 Through UPSC CSE exam, Check Details
The Railway Ministry has announced that it has decided to recruit officers for the Indian Railway Management Services (IRMS) through the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2023. The Civil Services Examination will be conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
The announcement comes in contradiction to an earlier order that stated that recruitment to the service will be done through a specially designed IRMS Examination, to be conducted by UPSC from 2023.
"Ministry of Railways, in consultation with UPSC and DoPT, has decided that recruitment to Indian Railway Management Service (IRMS) will be done through the Civil Services Examination to be conducted by the UPSC for the year 2023," it said in a statement.
While the Ministry is not speaking up over the reason behind this decision, media reports suggested that it was likely that it relented under pressure from officers belonging to non-engineering cadres. The IRMS Examination was seen to benefit students with an engineering or commerce background who planned to appear for the Civil Services Examination with an additional avenue open exclusively to them.
