RRB recruitment 2026: how railway hiring works
Indian Railways recruits non-gazetted staff through 21 Railway Recruitment Boards, which issue a common Centralised Employment Notice (CEN) for each type of post and run computer-based tests across the country. Applications for all RRBs are filled on rrbapply.gov.in, and you choose one RRB per notice. Railway Recruitment Cells (RRCs) in each zone engage apprentices and fill some Level 1 posts.

Selection process and medical standards
Most RRB recruitments have one or two CBTs, followed by a skill test (typing for clerks, aptitude test for Section Controller and ALP), document verification and a medical examination. Each post has a medical category, and you must meet it – for example, posts involving train operations need higher vision standards. Check the medical standard for your preferred posts before choosing them.
Railway pay
Railway posts are paid on the 7th Pay Commission matrix – Level 1 for Group D (₹18,000 basic), Level 2–3 for undergraduate NTPC posts, Level 5–6 for graduate NTPC posts and Section Controller – plus DA, HRA and allowances. Estimate take-home pay with the 7th Pay salary calculator.
