✍️ Editor's Note
This recruitment drive offers 1599 slots, making it a significant opportunity for ITI pass-outs in the Odisha region. Unlike standard Railway recruitment, this process relies purely on merit based on your 10th and ITI marks—there is no written exam or interview. A common mistake candidates make is uploading blurred ITI mark sheets or failing to check if their specific trade is listed for the Bhubaneswar/Waltair/Sambalpur divisions before submitting; double-check your preference list to avoid rejection.
