- A completed Course Completed Act Apprenticeship in an applicable trade may be accepted for specified categories.
- For Technician Grade I Signal or comparable technical posts, a relevant BSc, diploma or engineering degree may be required in disciplines such as Physics, Electronics, Computer Science, Information Technology or Instrumentation.
- The prescribed qualification must normally be held by the eligibility cut-off date stated in CEN 02/2026.
Age Limit
- The minimum age is generally 18 years for Technician recruitment.
- The upper age limit varies by Technician grade and must be checked in the detailed CEN 02/2026 notice.
- Relaxation in the upper age limit is applicable to SC, ST, OBC-NCL, PwBD, ex-servicemen and other eligible categories under government rules.
- The date used for calculating age will be the cut-off date specified in the recruitment notification.
Fees
- The examination fee is payable online while submitting the application and varies by candidate category.
- RRB recruitment generally provides a concessional fee for SC, ST, PwBD, ex-servicemen, women, transgender, minority and economically backward-class candidates, subject to notification conditions.
- A prescribed portion of the fee may be refunded after the candidate appears in the first-stage computer-based examination, after deducting applicable bank charges.

Selection Process
The RRB Technician selection procedure is expected to involve the following stages:
- Computer-Based Test: Eligible candidates will appear for a post-specific CBT covering subjects prescribed in the official syllabus.
- Document Verification: Shortlisted applicants must produce original educational, category, identity and other supporting certificates.
- Medical Examination: Candidates must satisfy the railway medical standards applicable to the allotted Technician post before appointment.
Final empanelment will depend on merit, eligibility verification, medical fitness, vacancy availability and completion of all recruitment formalities.
