Overview
- Indian Railways has launched a centralized recruitment drive for 1,265 Station Master vacancies under Centralised Employment Notice No. 08/2026 and is accepting online applications.
- Vacancies are split across Railway Recruitment Boards with RRB Mumbai holding the largest share at 177 posts and RRB Jammu‑Srinagar and Chennai allocated 122 and 119 respectively.
- The Railway Board has moved to a separate, role‑specific notification for Station Master hiring, replacing the previous practice of bundling multiple posts in single notices.
- The recruitment is open to graduate candidates who must meet the detailed eligibility conditions, age limits and examination requirements published on the official RRB and Ministry of Railways websites.
- Separately, Central Railway is carrying out a ticket‑checking operation focused on concession tickets, fixed reservation quotas, railway passes and group bookings and passengers are required to produce original identity proof.
