Fee and selection
The application fee is ₹500 for general candidates, of which ₹400 is refunded after appearing in CBT 1, after bank charges. The fee is ₹250 for SC, ST, ex-servicemen, PwBD, female, transgender, minority and EBC candidates, and it is fully refunded after appearing in CBT 1. Payment is online only.
The selection is through two computer-based tests (CBT 1 and CBT 2), followed by document verification and a medical test. Unlike earlier cycles, there is no typing skill test under CEN 07/2026, even for the two “cum Typist” posts. The CBT 1 date has not been announced.
How to apply
Apply online at rrbapply.gov.in only, by 13 November 2026, 11:59 PM. Candidates must apply to only one RRB — multiple applications, including to different RRBs, can lead to rejection and debarment. A correction window will run from 16 to 25 November 2026, at ₹250 per modification.
