Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What are “Isolated Categories” in this RRB Recruitment 2025?
A1. “Isolated Categories” refer to specialized posts in the Indian Railways that are not part of large, common cadres like Technicians or Station Masters. These posts, such as Law Assistant, Public Prosecutor, or Scientific Assistant, require specific educational backgrounds and are filled through separate recruitments like this CEN.
Q2. I am awaiting my final year results. Can I apply for RRB Recruitment 2025?
A2. No. You must possess the prescribed educational qualification as on the closing date for online applications (29/01/2026). Candidates waiting for results declared after this date are not eligible and should not apply.
Q3. Can I change my RRB or examination medium after submitting the application in RRB Recruitment 2025 ?
A3. No. The choice of RRB and the examination medium (language) selected during the application process cannot be changed at any later stage. Choose these options with utmost care.
Q4. Is the medical examination standard the same for all posts in this RRB Recruitment 2025 ?
A4. No. Different posts have different Medical Standards (B1, C1, or C2) as indicated in the vacancy table. Candidates must ensure they are medically fit for the standard of the post they are opting for. Failure in the medical test will lead to disqualification for that post.
