Interested candidates can apply online at www.rrbapply.gov.in from 28 June 2025. The last date to submit the application is 28 July 2025.

According to the notification, 183 posts are available for Technician Grade-I Signal, which is a Level-5 post. The remaining 6055 posts are for Technician Grade-III, which falls under Level-2. Applicants must choose only one RRB and one pay level while applying. If a candidate applies to more than one RRB under the same pay level, all their applications will be rejected.

For Technician Grade-III, the eligibility requirement is Class 10 along with an ITI certificate in the relevant trade. For some Technician Grade-III (S&T) posts, Class 12 with Physics and Maths is also accepted.

The age limit for Technician Grade-I applicants is 18 to 33 years, while for Technician Grade-III, it is 18 to 30 years. Age relaxation of five years is applicable for SC/ST candidates and three years for OBC candidates.

The selection process includes a computer-based test (CBT), a medical test and document verification. This year, like the previous recruitment drive in 2018, there will be only one stage CBT for technician posts, unlike the two-stage process held earlier.
