(iv) Selection of RRB and Preferences for posts: Candidates can choose only one RRB and indicate their preference for Railway
Zones and posts/categories notified, for which the candidate is interested to apply and eligible, in that chosen RRB only.
Candidates with partial options will be considered only for the specific Railway Zones and posts/categories opted by them,
subject to vacancy position at the time of allotment. In case no option is given for certain posts/categories, it will be considered
as their unwillingness for the same. Options once exercised shall be final and no change shall be entertained. Multiple
applications to different RRBs or same 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.
(v) 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 RRB. After scrutiny of the certificates/ documents of EQs/ age/caste/ category, etc., if any
claim made in the application is not substantiated by certificates/ documents, the candidature of the candidate will be
