Good to know before you apply
Apply to only one RRB Candidates can choose only one RRB and give their preference of Railway Zones/PUs and posts under it. The choice cannot be changed. Multiple applications to the same or different RRBs lead to rejection of all applications and debarment from RRB and RRC examinations.
Vacancies are provisional RRB-wise and Zone-wise vacancies may increase or decrease, or even become NIL, depending on the requirement of the Railway administrations.
Create an Account details cannot be changed Details entered in the Create an Account form (including mobile number and email ID) and the chosen RRB cannot be modified at any stage.
