Vacancy Details

CEN 02/2026 advertises 6,565 vacancies across two Technician post groups. The category-wise post totals provided are:

Application Fee

The available notice information does not give the original recruitment application fee. For challenging an answer, the notification text cites a fee of Rs. 50 per question plus applicable bank service charges based on previous RRB notices. It also says the amount for a question will be refunded if the objection is accepted. Candidates should confirm the exact fee and payment conditions in the official CEN 02/2026 notice before submitting a challenge.

How to Apply

The recruitment application period has ended. Candidates can use the following steps to view their answer key and submit an objection during the official objection window:

1. Visit rrbapply.gov.in or the website of the relevant regional RRB.
2. Find the link for “CEN 02/2026 (Technician): Exam Responses & Objection Tracker”.
3. Open the login page and enter your registration number and date of birth or password.
4. View the question paper, recorded responses and provisional answer key, then save or print a copy for your records.
5. To challenge an item, choose the question in the objection tracker, select the answer you consider correct and provide your justification.
6. Pay the applicable objection fee online, submit the challenge and retain the payment receipt. Check the official notice for the closing date and detailed instructions.

Selection Process

The CBT was held in multiple shifts from 6 to 9 October 2026. Candidates can estimate their score using the provisional key: each correct answer earns 1 mark, each incorrect answer attracts a deduction of one-third of a mark, and an unanswered question receives 0 marks. The calculation is: correct answers × 1 minus incorrect answers × 1/3. For example, 65 correct and 15 incorrect responses would give an estimated score of 60. Since the examination ran in multiple shifts, final marks may be normalized.

After the objection window closes, subject experts will review the challenges. The RRBs will then issue the final answer key and result, with category-wise cut-off marks. Shortlisted candidates are to be called for document verification and a medical examination. The result announcement date has not been provided.

Candidates should download and review their response sheet through the official RRB login and check the CEN 02/2026 notice promptly for the objection deadline and confirmed fee.
