Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: I am in my final year of D.Pharm. Can I apply for the Pharmacist post?
A: No. As clearly stated in the notification, candidates must already possess the prescribed educational qualification on or before the last date of application, i.e., September 8, 2025. Those awaiting results are not eligible to apply.
Q2: What is the difference between Medical Standards B1, C1, and C2?
A: These are vision-related medical standards used by Indian Railways.
- B1: Suitable for technical staff. Requires good vision.
- C1: Suitable for safety categories like drivers. Requires high visual acuity.
- C2: Suitable for station masters and guards. Specific visual requirements.
Candidates must ensure they are medically fit for the standard prescribed for their chosen post.
Q3: Can I apply to more than one RRB or for more than one post?
A: No. You can choose only one RRB and indicate your preference for posts and railway zones under that RRB. Submitting multiple applications to different RRBs or the same RRB will lead to the rejection of all your applications.
Q4: Is there any free travel facility for the examination?
A: Yes. SC and ST candidates are entitled to a free sleeper class railway pass for travel to the exam centre (CBT), document verification, and medical examination. They must request this facility while filling out the application and produce their original caste certificate during travel.
