Who can apply? (national scope + eligibility basics)
- This RRB Paramedical Recruitment 2025 is pan-India: candidates may choose one RRB and indicate preferences for Railway Zone(s) and posts; you may not apply to multiple RRBs — multiple applications = rejection and debarment.
- Nationality: Indian citizen (or other categories as listed in para 4 of CEN — e.g., Nepal, Bhutan, Tibetan refugees, persons of Indian origin from certain countries) — certificate of eligibility required for some categories.
- Educational qualifications: Post-wise minimums are in Annexure A (Post Parameters) — e.g., Nursing Superintendent requires Registered Nurse & Midwife certificate OR B.Sc Nursing; Pharmacist requires 10+2 + Diploma in Pharmacy (and registration) or B.Pharm. Always confirm the exact wording in Annexure A before applying.
- Date of birth & age: Age is reckoned as on 01-01-2026. Age relaxation rules for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD/ExSM etc. are provided in Para 5.2. Check exact relaxation details in the CEN.
Medical standards, PwBD suitability & scribe rules
- Posts have medical standards identified as B1, C1, C2, etc., with specific vision/hearing standards listed in Para 3. Candidates must meet the medical standard for the post they opt for (or they may be declared medically unfit and not given alternate appointment).
- The CEN identifies which posts are suitable for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) and the sub-categories (VI, HI, LD, MD). Only PwBDs with ≥40% benchmark disability are entitled to reservation as per the rules; detailed formats for certificates are in Annexures V(A)/V(B)/V(C).
- Scribe facility: Eligible PwBD categories (blindness, cerebral palsy, both arms affected) may use a scribe; others can apply if they have a medical certificate proving the need. Scribes must register on rrbapply.gov.in and obtain OTR (One-Time Registration) number; candidates must confirm scribe details in the scribe window (21–25 Sep 2025). Read Para 11.7 carefully for conditions.
How selection & exam will work (key rules)
- The selection process includes a Computer Based Test (CBT), shortlisting (RRB-wise) for Document Verification (DV) and Medical Examination. Shortlisting for DV/ME will be done on RRB-wise merit at 1:1 ratio of vacancies for that RRB.
- Negative marking: 1/3rd mark will be deducted for every wrong answer in CBT.
- E-call letter: issued via RRB website only; city allocation and exam dates will be notified on official RRB websites about 4 days before CBT and city about 10 days in advance. No postal letters.
Syllabus & preparation (official syllabus summary)
The official Annexure C gives subject-wise syllabus per post. Common sections for CBT include General Arithmetic, General Intelligence & Reasoning, and General Awareness. Post-specific syllabus excerpts include: Nursing topics for Nursing Superintendent, Dialysis topics for Dialysis Technician, Pharmacy subjects for Pharmacist, Radiology topics for Radiographer, etc. See the full annexure for detailed topics.
