very clear to the officer/supervisor.

6. Trainee officers should not bring personal staff. No accommodation will be provided to

such staff.

7. Trainees should be told to bring their laptops as most of the course material is made

available in soft copy only. Trainees coming for computer-related courses can be

returned if they do not bring a laptop.

8. IRIMEE has multiple sports facilities. Trainee officers/supervisors should bring their

personal sports equipment for using these facilities.

9. The climate of Jamalpur can be very hot in summers and very cold in winters and wet in

the summer monsoons. This should be kept in mind while packing.

About IRIMEEAbout IRIMEEAbout IRIMEEAbout IRIMEE

Indian Railways Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (IRIMEE) is the oldest CTI of Indian

Railways. It was originally set up in 1888 as the Technical School of the Railway Locomotive Workshop,

Jamalpur by the East India Railway (EIR).

The first train of EIR, filled to capacity, was flagged off on August 15, 1854, from Howrah to Hooghly, a

distance of 24 miles. The Railway grew very rapidly to Jamalpur in 1861. Jamalpur was near Munger, a

manufacturing town considered in those days to be “Birmingham of the East”. Initially Jamalpur was only a

steam loco changing station and light repairs to the locomotives were done in the running shed. The original

locomotive workshop of EIR was located at Howrah. It was shifted to Jamalpur on 8th

February, 1862.

The workshop started with around three-and-a-half thousand men and expanded quickly to more than

twenty thousand men. A night school was initially started for training apprentices. However, in 1888, EIR

established a Technical School at the workshop, where the trade Apprentices Scheme was started for imparting

specialized on-the-job training in mechanical engineering and steam locomotives.

An Apprentice Mechanics scheme was begun at this school in 1905, for Anglo-Indians. On the

completion of this five-year apprenticeship, the apprentice mechanics were appointed as Assistant Foremen or

Assistant Superintendents on the EIR. The scheme was extended in 1911 to cover other Indians.

The first decade of the twentieth century was a period of intense political activity in India when the

demands for Indianization of Civil Services proliferated. The royal Commission on the Superior Civil Services in

India under the Chairmanship of Lord Lee which submitted its Report in 1924 recommended the setting up of a

Public Service Commission. The first Public Service Commission was set up on October 1, 1926 under the

Chairmanship of Sir Ross Barker. This was renamed later as the Federal Public Service Commission (1935) and

after Independence accorded Constitutional status as the autonomous entity of Union Public Service

Commission in 1950.

Selections were held for the flagship Special Class Railway Apprenticeship Scheme by the Public

Service Commission in 1926 and the first batch of these apprentices joined the Technical School on February

14, 1927. From 1st April 1974, the administrative control of Technical School was transferred from Eastern

Railway to the Railway Board. The Technical School was then renamed as Indian Railways Institute of

Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (IRIMEE).

Training Facilities

IRIMEE has air-conditioned classrooms equipped with modern teaching aids

such as overhead LCD projectors, smart boards, computers connected to the internet

through a LAN. There are model rooms for Carriage & Wagon, Air-brake systems, 140-

Tonne Crane, ALCO locomotives and High horsepower EMD locomotives. It has an

excellent Mechatronics Lab and a Biodiesel lab. Diesel Loco simulator is also available

for giving training on the working and troubleshooting of diesel locomotive.

IRIMEE has a well-stocked library with about 17,000 books on technical,

scientific and management subjects. It also subscribes to over 30 Indian and foreign

periodicals and journals on subjects relevant for faculty and trainees. It has a collection

on educational CD ROMs and video films. The library has institutional membership of

the British Council Library, Kolkata.
