Can 12th pass students get jobs in Indian Railways without written exam?

Yes, some apprentice and merit-based posts are filled without written exam. Selection is based on marks of 10th or 12th. Railway apprentice programs are best example.

I got selected as apprentice in Railways without exam. They made merit list based on my 12th marks. After training, chances of permanent job are high. It is good for average students.

Yes, apprentice and some class IV posts don’t require exam. But for clerical or TC jobs, exam is must. So options are limited but available.
