Overview
- Railway Recruitment Boards issued the indicative short‑notice across July 21–22, 2026, confirming 4,098 openings for JE, DMS and CMA under Centralised Employment Notice 04/2026.
- The notice gives a provisional online application window from August 14 to September 13, 2026, but labels those dates as tentative and says the detailed CEN will set the final schedule and instructions.
- Notified posts fall under Pay Level 6 of the 7th CPC with a starting basic pay of Rs 35,400 and age eligibility set at 18–33 years as on January 1, 2027, with statutory relaxations where applicable.
- RRBs have advised candidates to complete Aadhaar verification and gather education and identity documents to avoid delays during document checks; reported selection stages are CBT‑1, CBT‑2, document verification and medical examination.
- The full CEN, expected before the application window, will publish post‑wise and zone‑wise vacancy breakup, exact eligibility, syllabus, fees and reservation rules; some outlets published a provisional department split but those figures are not final.
