RRB Station Master vacancy 2026 vs 2025 – category-wise

The “vacancies at a glance” table on page 3 of the notice prints 1,215, but the RRB-wise and zone-wise table (Annexure B) adds up to 1,265 – we show Annexure B. Vacancies may increase or decrease later. Ex-servicemen seats are horizontal (counted inside the categories). The post is not suitable for PwBD, so there are no PwBD seats.

RRB Station Master 2026 selection process and exam pattern

2. CBAT (Computer Based Aptitude Test) – 8 times the RRB-wise, community-wise vacancies are shortlisted from the CBT.
3. Merit list = 70% CBT marks + 30% CBAT marks (only CBAT-qualified candidates). Candidates equal to the vacancies are called for document verification.
4. Document verification & medical examination, then zone allotment as per merit and choice.

• Each question 1 mark; negative marking 1/3 for every wrong answer
• Section-wise split is indicative – actual papers may vary
• Tie in marks: the older candidate is placed higher, then alphabetical order of the given name
