RRB JE Application Form and Registration

Applications will be accepted online after the Railway Recruitment Boards activate the registration facility.

Candidates should use the official RRB application system and complete Aadhaar-based registration as instructed. Applicants should ensure that their name, date of birth and other personal particulars correspond with their supporting documents.

The detailed notification should be checked before choosing an RRB, engineering discipline or post preference because eligibility and vacancy availability may differ.

Important Instructions for Candidates

Candidates should not rely on previous RRB JE notifications for the exact 2026 examination pattern, qualification mapping, medical standards or RRB-wise vacancies. These details should be taken from CEN No. 04/2026 once the complete notification is available.

Applicants should also verify their exact Diploma/Degree discipline before registration. Possessing a general engineering qualification does not by itself confirm eligibility for every JE or DMS discipline.

The 4,098 figure represents the combined vacancies supplied for JE, DMS and CMA. A separate post-wise distribution has not been provided, so no individual vacancy count should currently be assigned to these three post categories.
