The proposed recruitment exam for Indian Railway Management Service (IRMS) will not be held this year, the Ministry of Railways announced on Thursday. Instead, the Civil Services Examination conducted by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) will be used to select candidates, it added.
“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,” the ministry said in a press release.
Last year, the ministry had announced a two-tier exam, Indian Railways Management Service Examination or IRMSE – to select personnel to railways’ management service.
