till the recruitment is completely over. RRBs will not entertain any request for change of mobile number and e-mail address at

any stage. During the ONLINE APPLICATION, candidates will be asked to ‘Create Account’. If a candidate has already created an
Account for CENs notified in 2024/2025, they should use same account credentials to log in and apply for this CEN as well. If
the candidates have not created an Account earlier, they must first ‘Create an Account’ before proceeding to fill up the
application for this CEN. Candidates are advised to fill in the details required for account creation with utmost care, as
corrections of any kind will not be permitted once the account is created. Details filled in the ‘Create an Account’ form
(including mobile number and Email ID) cannot be modified at any stage once the account is created.
5) Applications are to be submitted Through ONLINE MODE ONLY and through RRB websites ONLY listed at para 16.0. One
application ONLY is required to be submitted to the selected RRB for all its notified posts in this CEN. Candidates can apply to
only ONE RRB. Application to more than one RRB, will lead to rejection of all the applications. Any attempt to submit more than
one application by a candidate against this CEN shall result in disqualification and debarment from the recruitment process and
future examinations of RRB and RRC.

6) Candidates are required to go through the Post Parameter Table (Annexure-A) and Vacancy Table (Annexure-B) of this detailed
CEN No: 08/2025 to ascertain their eligibility before applying through ONLINE mode. Only thereafter the candidates should
exercise options for the RRBs and post(s) within the RRB chosen by them as per their eligibility. The selection of RRB once
exercised shall be final.

7) Eligibility of the candidates will be considered only on the strength of the information furnished in the ONLINE application.
Candidates need NOT send printouts of application or Certificates or copies to RRBs concerned by post. If at any stage of
recruitment or thereafter, it is found that any information furnished by the candidate in his/her application is false/incorrect or
the candidate has suppressed any relevant information or the candidate does not satisfy the eligibility criteria for the post(s),
his/her candidature will be rejected forthwith.
8) Eligibility of the candidates will be considered provisional, based on details furnished by the candidates in the ONLINE application.
The RRB will not undertake detailed scrutiny of applications for the eligibility; therefore, candidature will be accepted only
provisionally subject to fulfilling basic eligibility criteria as required. Candidates must go through the requirements of educational
qualification, age, medical standards etc. and satisfy themselves that they are eligible for the post. The certificates/documents in
support of their Educational Qualifications and Age/Caste/Category, etc. shall be sought at the time of Document Verification by
respective RRBs. After scrutiny of the certificates/ documents of Educational Qualifications/ age/caste/ category, etc., if any claim
made in the application is not substantiated by certificates/ documents, the candidature of the candidate will be cancelled.
Further, during any stage of the recruitment or even thereafter, if it is found that any information about the candidate is
false/incorrect or if the candidate has suppressed any relevant information or the candidate does not satisfy the eligibility criteria
for the post, his/her candidature will be rejected forthwith.
9) Candidates can modify the application particulars (except for those filled in ‘Create an Account’ form and chosen RRB) even after
submission of application, but within the last date of modification window for correction in applications, by paying modification
fee. However, after last date of modification window for correction in applications (10/02/2026), RRBs shall not entertain any
representation for modification of the information furnished in the application.
10) “Candidates are advised, in their own interest, to authenticate their identity using Digilocker or Aadhaar during the "Create an
Account" stage. If they missed this stage, they can still authenticate during the online application details filling process by using
the "Verify Aadhaar" facility and providing their Aadhaar details. This must be completed before final submission of application
for a particular CEN. This will facilitate a smoother process at different stages of recruitment for the candidates themselves. If
applicants verify their identity & other primary details with alternate Photo IDs, they will be subjected to significantly stricter
&more detailed scrutiny at every stage of recruitment process.”
11) Candidates must ensure that they fulfill the prescribed Medical Standards for the post(s) they are opting for. It is to be noted by
the candidates that in case the candidate is found to be medically unsuitable for the opted post at the time of appointment,
alternate appointment shall not be given.
12) Center/City allocation for CBTs will depend upon technical and logistical feasibility. Candidates may have to travel to other
Cities/States for attending CBTs. Request for Change of Exam Centre shall NOT be allowed under any circumstances.
13) Crucial date for claim of SC/ ST/ OBC/ EWS/EBC status or any other benefit viz. fee concession, reservation, age- relaxation, etc.,
where not specified otherwise, will be the closing date for submission of ONLINE applications against this CEN.

14) To avoid last minute rush, candidates are advised in their own interest to register and submit ONLINE application much before
the closing date since there may be a possibility of inability/failure to log on to the website of RRB concerned on account of heavy
load on the internet or website during last days of online registration.
