Important Notes
Though earlier announcements mention 2,569 posts, check for any revision in official notification (some sources report 2,588 posts).
Must apply online only, through the official RRB website and select preferred zone/railway carefully.
Make sure you meet all eligibility criteria (age, qualification, medical, domicile, etc) by the cut-off date.
Since these are engineering‐category posts, ensure your discipline (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, etc) is listed under the notification.
Keep track of the official RRB site for any updates or corrigendum (for example extension of last date).
If you like, I can fetch and send the direct link to the official RRB CEN 05/2025 notification PDF (with full zone-wise vacancy break-up, discipline-wise details, application link) for your ready reference. Would you like me to get that?
