The posts

Job profiles by post

The CEN doesn’t describe daily duties, so here’s what it does say about each post — tap a post to expand.

The highest-paid post in CEN 06/2026 (initial pay ₹35,400). Needs medical standard B-2: distance vision 6/9, 6/12 with or without glasses (lens power up to 4D). Annexure A marks it suitable for some PwBD categories (hearing impairment, specified locomotor disabilities and multiple disabilities).
2,750 of the 3,548 vacancies. It carries A-2, the strictest medical standard in this CEN: distance vision 6/9, 6/9 without glasses, plus colour, binocular, night and myopic vision tests. Anyone who has had Lasik or other refractive-error surgery is not eligible, and Annexure A doesn’t identify it as suitable for any PwBD category.
Level 5, medical standard C-2 (distance vision 6/12, nil with or without glasses). The typing skill test is dispensed with for CEN 06/2026, but you’re expected to type adequately on a computer: proficiency is assessed after joining, and poor performance may delay confirmation or promotion.
Level 5, medical standard C-2. The same typing rule applies — no typing test this cycle, with proficiency assessed after joining. Annexure A marks it suitable for some PwBD categories.
Not in CEN 06/2026. It was part of the 2025 Graduate cycle (CEN 06/2025) at Level 6, initial pay ₹35,400, medical A-2, with 615 vacancies.

Before you apply

Choosing your posts

The notification doesn’t set out promotion paths, but it’s strict about how you get a post. You apply to one RRB and rank the posts and Railway zones you want there; options can’t be changed later. Allotment follows merit, medical standard and vacancies, and once you’re empanelled you can’t be considered for another post in the same pay level. Opt only for posts whose medical standard you meet — a candidate found unfit for an opted post gets no alternative appointment.
