3.0 IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Please read the information given in the CEN thoroughly before filling up the ONLINE application.
3.2 Candidates must ensure that they possess and fulfil all the prescribed educational and technical qualifications for the post
on or before the closing date for submitting application against this CEN. Candidates waiting for final results of
prescribed educational /technical qualifications are NOT eligible to apply.
3.3 Applications must be submitted ONLINE only through the link provided on official RRB websites. Candidates are required
to go through Annexure A (Post- wise Parameters), Annexure B (RRB & Zone-wise vacancy details) and Annexure C
(Details of Merged Post Categories) of this detailed CEN to ascertain their eligibility before applying through online mode.
RRB-wise & Railway-wise vacancies indicated in this CEN are provisional and these may increase or decrease as per the
requirement of Railway administrations concerned.
3.4 A separate application must be submitted for each Pay Level, as separate CBT will be conducted for each Pay
Level. The applicable Examination Fee is also required to be paid separately for each Pay Level.
3.5 Selection of RRB and Preferences for posts: Candidates should choose only one RRB in a given Pay Level and
exercise their preference for Zonal Railways/PUs and the corresponding posts notified under that RRB.

CEN NO. 02/2026 (TECHNICIAN CATEGORIES) Page 1 of 62

Candidates with partial options will be considered only for the specific Zonal Railway/PUs and corresponding posts
opted by them, subject to vacancy position at the time of allotment. In case no option is given for certain Zonal
Railways/PUs and posts, it will be considered as their unwillingness for the same. Options once exercised shall be
final and no change shall be entertained. Applicants who submit more than one application for same pay level
against this CEN shall be disqualified and debarred from all future examinations of RRBs and Railway
Recruitment Cell (RRCs).
Note: Out of the 25 post categories listed in Annexure A (Post-wise Parameters), 8 post categories at Pay Level 2 —
hereinafter referred to as Merged Post Categories (MPCs) — have been formed by merging multiple post designations
that share identical post parameters. Each MPC therefore comprises more than one post designation. The list of these
designations, along with their corresponding departmental and sub-departmental breakdowns, is provided in Annexure C
(Details of Merged Post Categories).
This merging has been undertaken to make the application process simpler, faster, and more convenient for candidates.
Candidates empanelled against an MPC may be assigned any post designation, along with the corresponding department
and sub-department under that MPC, when they report to their allotted Zonal Railways.
3.6 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 and therefore
candidature will be accepted only provisionally subject to fulfilling 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 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.
3.7 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.
3.8 All the candidates seeking reservation/relaxation benefits applicable to SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/EBC/
PwBD/ExSM etc. must ensure that they are entitled to such reservation/relaxation as per eligibility prescribed in

their claim as stipulated in the Rules and CEN.

appointment.

the entire duration of recruitment, as communication with them will only be through SMS and/or email.
3.12 City allocation, Centre allocation and dates for CBT will be allotted based on technical and logistical feasibility.
Candidates may have to travel to other cities/states for attending CBT. Request for change of exam date/
centre/shift etc. shall not be allowed under any circumstances.
3.13 Candidates are advised, in their own interest, to authenticate their identity using Digi Locker 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.
3.14 During the ONLINE APPLICATION, candidates will be asked to Create an Account. If a candidate has already
Created an Account during earlier RRB CENs (2024/2025/2026), they should use same account credentials to log
in and apply for this CEN (i.e., CEN No. 02/2026) 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.
3.15 After the submission of the ONLINE application and payment of applicable fee, if a candidate wishes to further
modify any details (except for those filled in ‘Create an Account’ form and Chosen RRB), he/she may do so by

CEN NO. 02/2026 (TECHNICIAN CATEGORIES) Page 2 of 62

will not be refunded except for candidates who have attended the CBT. (Refer to para 10.0 for the amount of refund)

supporting documents submitted by the candidates. Any discrepancy between the information declared in the
application and the supporting documents OR failure to meet the eligibility criteria (such as educational/technical

of the Zonal Railway who in turn issue the Offer of Appointment subject to availability of vacancies and satisfying
all eligibility criteria including antecedents of character. The allotment of category/post/Railway will be based on
merit, post preference, medical fitness and vacancy availability on the date of panel preparation. After the
category/post/Railway is allotted by RRB, candidates forfeit the right to be considered for any other post/category
within that Pay Level.
4.15 Selected candidates for the post of Technician will have to undergo training wherever prescribed and only stipend
