How to apply for RRB Paramedical CEN 05/2026 Recruitment (Nursing Superintendent, Pharmacist and More) Jobs
Visit the unified RRB website, https://rrb.indianrailways.gov.in, and navigate to the relevant individual RRB webpage. “Create an Account” using a valid personal mobile number and active email ID (mandatory for OTPs). Candidates who already have an account from earlier RRB CENs (2024/2025/2026) should use the same login credentials. Authenticate your identity using DigiLocker or Aadhaar at the account-creation stage for smoother verification at later stages (alternate Photo ID verification means stricter scrutiny). Fill the online application form with your chosen RRB, Railway Zone and post preferences — only one RRB can be selected, and options once exercised are final. Capture a live photograph via webcam or mobile front camera as prompted (no pre-existing photo upload); wear non-white/dark clothing, no cap, mask or glasses. Upload your scanned signature and other mandatory documents as specified in the application. Choose your medium of examination from the available language options. Submit the application and proceed to pay the examination fee online (net banking, debit/credit card, or UPI) — acceptance of the application is final only after fee payment confirmation. Complete submission before 14.10.2026 (23:59 hrs), and complete fee payment by 16.10.2026. Use the modification window (17.10.2026 to 26.10.2026, with a ₹250 fee per correction) if any details (other than “Create an Account” data and chosen RRB) need correction.
