Railway Recruitment Boards have announced about 1,688 Under Graduate level jobs, but the full details are not out yet. This is an indicative notice, which means an advance heads-up so you can get your documents ready before the real notification (the detailed CEN, short for Centralised Employment Notification) is published. The posts fall under NTPC, or Non-Technical Popular Categories, the name RRBs give to railway jobs that do not need a technical qualification. Online applications are tentatively planned from 15.10.2026 to 13.11.2026, and since the notice calls both dates tentative, they can still change.
The 1,688 is the total for all RRBs together. The notice gives no post-wise, category-wise or RRB-wise split, so none is shown here.
