The decision was taken at a high-level meeting held on Wednesday at the Railway Board. The Ministry of Railways has developed a foolproof CBT system through sustained efforts of over the last seven years to ensure zero chances of malpractice through any form of communication during the examination.

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, a technocrat-turned politician, took rounds of review of the railway's indigenously developed CBT before deciding to conduct all departmental promotional examinations by RRVB through the CBT system.
