The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have conducted computer-based tests (CBTs) for over 1.86 crore candidates across seven different notifications covering a total of 55,197 vacancies. The large-scale examinations are part of a broader recruitment calendar that has so far announced 1.08 lakh vacancies since 2024. Railways also plans to extend its recruitment efforts into the next financial year, with another 50,000 appointments expected to be made in Financial Year 2026–27.

Conducting computer-based tests at such a scale is a complex logistical operation. In a move to ease the process for candidates, the Railways has taken the initiative to assign exam centres closer to candidates’ places of residence. Special preference has been given to female candidates and persons with benchmark disabilities (PwBDs).

To uphold transparency and fairness, the Railways has introduced Aadhaar-based e-KYC authentication for candidate verification — a first for such large-scale government exams. The Railway Ministry reported a success rate of over 95% in the implementation of this digital identity verification system.

Additionally, 100% deployment of electronic jammers has been ensured at all exam centres to prevent cheating through electronic devices.
