RRB Station Master Online Form 2026 - 1265 Posts
Station Master is one of the few railway jobs open to graduates from any stream, and CEN 08/2026 brings 1,265 vacancies spread across the Railway Recruitment Boards. Some of the biggest zone-wise rows are RRB Mumbai for Central Railway (125), Jammu-Srinagar (122), Chennai (119) and Thiruvananthapuram (114), and almost every board has at least a few seats. If you are a graduate aged 20 to 33, you can register through the RRB OTR portal from 27 October 2026 to 25 November 2026. Fee payment is allowed until 27 November 2026. A useful detail: most of your fee comes back once you actually appear in the Stage I exam, so the refund rules reward candidates who show up.

Eligibility
The basic requirement is a Bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised university in India. No specific subject is required as per the summary. Further conditions, such as whether final-year students can apply or any medical standard for the post, are covered in the official CEN 08/2026 notification, so read it before you register. Keep your degree certificate and final marksheet ready in PDF form. If you have a degree from an open or distance university, check that it is from a recognised institution, because that is the only condition the summary sets on your degree.
The age limit is 20 to 33 years, and the page states the cut-off date as 1 July 2027. That date is later than usual, so confirm it in the official notification before you calculate your eligibility. Reserved categories get age relaxation as per RRB CEN 08/2026 rules. If you are near either end of the range, work out your age carefully against the stated date and keep your Class 10 certificate ready as date-of-birth proof.

Salary / Pay
The notification summary does not mention the pay level or salary for Station Master. Check the official RRB notification for the pay matrix level and allowances, and avoid relying on unofficial figures. Read the zone details carefully when you choose your board, since every seat in the table is tied to a specific railway zone.
Selection Process
The summary names a Stage I exam but does not describe the later stages, so read the official notification for the full selection scheme and syllabus. The exam date is as per schedule. The exam city slip comes out 10 days before the exam and the Admit Card 4 days before, so keep checking your OTR login in that period. Since vacancies are listed board-wise and zone-wise, look at the table in the notification before choosing your RRB.
How to Apply
All applications go through the RRB OTR portal at rrbapply.gov.in. If you already have a One Time Registration from an earlier RRB exam, log in with it; otherwise create one first. Keep your photo, signature, ID proof, degree documents and category certificate scanned. The fee is ₹500 for General/OBC/EWS and ₹250 for SC/ST and PH candidates, payable by e-challan, debit card, credit card or net banking. After you appear in Stage I, ₹400 is refunded to UR/OBC/EWS candidates and ₹250 to SC/ST/PH/female candidates, so enter your bank details correctly. Apply by 25 November 2026 and pay by 27 November 2026. The correction window runs from 28 November to 7 December 2026.
