The 10th Prime Minister of India AB Vajpayee has passed away yesterday, and the Center has announced holiday in remembrance.
But the RRB exams that were scheduled for TODAY will take place as scheduled.
The Indian Railways has announced that the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) exams scheduled for Friday for the post of assistant loco pilots and technicians will go ahead as per schedule across India except for flood-hit Kerala.
The announcement came after a half-day holiday was declared for all central government departments on Friday in the wake of ex-PM Bihari Vajpayee’s death.

“We are announcing that RRB exam will be conducted in all the three shifts on 17.08.18, as scheduled. This is being done through RRB websites. Over and above that individual SMSs are also being sent to about 4.36 lakh candidates scheduled for the exam,” Director of Information and Publicity of Indian Railways, Rajesh Bajpai said.
However, Bajpai added it was not possible to conduct the exam in Kerala on Friday due to the devastating situation in the flood-hit state.
“Due to worsening flood situation in Kerala, it is not possible to conduct the exam tomorrow. So exam in Kerala centers is being postponed,” he stated.
About 27,000 candidates were scheduled to give exam for the post in Kerala, where the death toll has increased to 94 due to floods.
