Important Points to Note From RRB Exam Calendar 2026
The calendar is important because it is not just about exam dates, but details the internal steps taken by the Railways.
- The Zonal Railways and Production Units are told to assess their vacancies up to certain future dates, like June 30, 2027, for ALP and Technicians, and December 31, 2027, for Level 1 posts.
- The Railways has nominated a single 'Nodal RRB' for each category of recruitment. This Nodal RRB will manage all parts of the recruitment process for that specific job category.
- Zonal Railways and Production Units must remove any vacancies they had already reported in the 2025 recruitment year if that process is still incomplete. This ensures the final number of vacancies announced is accurate.
- Candidates should note that the Chairperson of RRB/Bengaluru will later share the detailed schedule for the assessment of vacancies.
