RITES Assistant Manager IT Network Security Recruitment 2026: Overview
RITES Limited, a Navratna public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Railways, is hiring an Assistant Manager in IT, Network and Security on a regular basis.

Service Conditions and Caveats
- Probation: Your appointment begins with a one-year probation period from joining. Continued service and confirmation depend on your performance and the authenticity of the information supplied when you join.
- Confirmation: You remain on probation until RITES issues a confirmation order. Completing the initial period alone does not automatically confirm your appointment.
- Screening for confirmation: You must clear the company's screening test at the end of probation. If you do not qualify, RITES may extend probation and take further action under its policy.
- Posting: The company can assign you to any location in India or abroad according to its needs. The address printed on the advertisement is not a promise that you will work at that office.
- Outside applications: RITES will not forward an employee's application for an outside job until the employee completes two years of service. Keep this restriction in mind when considering the appointment.
- Release from your employer: If you already work for another organisation, you can join only after it properly relieves you. This condition also applies to departmental candidates moving into the advertised position.
- Reservation: Concessions depend on the category of the advertised place and the applicable government rules. Reserved-category applicants competing for an unreserved place must meet the standards set for that place.
- Travel costs: The company will not pay fares, travelling allowance or daily allowance for recruitment. You should account for your own travel expenses if called to attend.
- Accuracy of claims: Incorrect information or hidden material facts can lead to rejection. If a problem comes to light after appointment, the company can terminate service.
- Recruitment changes: RITES may change, restrict, enlarge or cancel the process. The advertised strength may also change, so keep checking the company website for notices relating to this vacancy number.
- Communication: RITES sends recruitment information to your registered email address and may also post it on its website. Keep that email account active and check the careers section regularly.
- Disputes: The advertisement places legal jurisdiction in Delhi. Keep your registration number available for recruitment correspondence so that the company can identify your application.
