This development is a crucial step for all candidates who appeared in the recruitment process and are eagerly waiting to know their allotted zones for training and posting. Zone allotment ensures that selected candidates are assigned to a specific railway zone across India, where they will undergo training and eventually serve as Railway Protection Force Sub Inspectors.
This article provides a detailed explanation of the RPF SI Zone Allotment List 2024, including its importance, how to check it, step-by-step instructions for downloading the list, and other useful information that every candidate must know.
What is the RPF SI Zone Allotment List?
The Zone Allotment List is an official document issued by the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) or Railway Protection Force (RPF) that indicates the railway zone where each selected candidate has been assigned. Since the Indian Railways is divided into multiple zones such as Northern Railway, Southern Railway, Eastern Railway, Western Railway, Central Railway, and others, candidates are allotted to these zones based on their merit, preference, and availability of seats.
