Important Points About RRB Station Master Vacancy 2026

• Vacancies are provisional. They may increase, decrease or even become NIL in total or in a specific Railway, unit or community, and additional posts may be added later.
• The Railway Administration can cancel the notified vacancies at any stage. In that case, the exam fee is refunded only to candidates who attended the CBT.
• Check the vacancy table and the post parameters before applying, and then choose your RRB and zones as per your eligibility. The choice of RRB is final.
• You must give the order of zone preference for the chosen RRB. A zone is allotted as per your option, merit, medical standard and vacancy position. RRBs can also allot a zone that you did not choose, if needed in the administrative interest.
• Selection by the RRB does not give any right of appointment. The appointment is offered by the respective Railway Administration.
• Ordinarily, a railway servant works on the Railway where he or she is first posted, and no transfer request to another Railway is registered until 5 to 10 years of service are completed. So choose your RRB with care.
