Railway RRB Paramedical Online Form 2026 CEN 05/2026

This page tracks Railway RRB Paramedical Online Form 2026 CEN 05/2026, a certificate verification schedule. The key figures are an application window closing 14 October 2026 and a fee of ₹500 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Indian Railways recruits through Railway Recruitment Boards (RRB) and Railway Recruitment Cells (RRC). Railway selection normally runs one or more computer-based tests followed, depending on the post, by a physical efficiency test, document verification and a medical examination with post-specific vision standards.

Applications open on 15 September 2026 and close on 14 October 2026, giving candidates 30 days to complete the process. The 30-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. Fee payment closes on 14/10/2026 — note that this can fall on a different day from the form deadline, and an unpaid form is not a submitted form. The exam is currently shown for  As per schedule; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

On qualifications, the notification states: 10+2 / Certificate / Diploma / Degree in Related Post / Trade More Eligibility Details Read the Notification. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹250 and ₹500, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Document verification is where otherwise-successful candidates most often fall out, usually over a missing category certificate or a name mismatch across documents. Assemble originals plus self-attested photocopies well before the date, and get any discrepancy in spelling or date of birth corrected in advance — it cannot be resolved on the day.
