You have completed your SSC with 78% marks and want to get job in Railway sector as Ticket Collector. But I am sorry to say that you are not eligible for giving that recruitment exam at this time.

>>The main reason is that the minimum eligibility criteria is that student must possess graduation degree from a recognized board or university. Also student have good typing speed. The age limit is 18 to 32 years. Relaxation in maximum age limit is given to reserved category students as per govt. norms. You have just passed 10th standard. That’s why you are not eligible at this time.

>>In my opinion you have to firstly get admission in 12th standard and then do graduation from any recognized university. In the meanwhile of your graduation course, you can start your preparation for Railway jobs. If you still have any doubt regarding the eligibility criteria then you can go though the detailed advertisement for this.
