RRB Station Master Recruitment 2026: Application Schedule, Eligibility and Selection
The recruitment covers five vacancy categories, with the same educational qualification specified across them. Candidates should assess their qualification and age eligibility alongside the application timetable, particularly because the age-calculation date falls in 2027 rather than the application year.
The sections below explain the deadline sequence, category-wise distribution and requirements that govern this recruitment.
Application Timeline and Correction Window
The notification was issued and online registration began on 27 October 2026. The deadline for submitting the application is earlier than the fee-payment deadline, so applicants should treat these as separate requirements rather than a single closing date.
The correction window follows the payment deadline and provides a separate period for rectification. It should not be treated as an extension of the original application-submission window.

| Notification issued | 27 October 2026 |
| Online registration started | 27 October 2026 |
| Last date to apply online | 25 November 2026 |

| Application correction window | 28 November to 07 December 2026 |
| Examination date | To be notified later |
| Result date | To be notified later |
Applicants should complete form submission within its own deadline and ensure that payment is completed within the subsequent payment period. The schedule does not specify a late-fee facility, correction charges or which application fields can be edited.
