The Railway Recruitment Boards have officially revised the application schedule for CEN No. 09/2025, which invites applications for 22,195 Level-1 posts. The closing date for online submissions has been extended to March 9. The final deadline for application fee payments is set for March 11, 2026 (23:59 hrs). The eligible candidates needing scribe facilities should enter their details on the portal between March 22 and March 26, 2026. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. You are strictly advised to apply only via the official portal, rrbapply.gov.in, and ignore any external claims regarding selection promises, as the process is entirely merit-based and computerized.

Eligibility is open to candidates aged 18 to 33 years as of 1 January 2026, with standard government age relaxations applicable for reserved categories. The selection process is a multi-tiered framework designed to assess both aptitude and physical readiness, consisting of a Computer-Based Test (CBT), a Physical Efficiency Test (PET), document verification, and a mandatory medical examination.

  • Verify against Class 10 certificate. Do not rush; these details are permanent.

  • The signature must be in running handwriting in black ink (File Format - JPG / JPEG only, File Size - 30 KB – 50 KB, Dimensions - 140 x 60 pixel). 
  • Use a desktop/laptop with a stable connection to avoid payment or preview errors.
