Suitability for PwBD (LD/HI sub-categories) varies by post — refer to Annexure-A of the official CEN for exact sub-disability codes.

One RRB, one application. You can only choose a single RRB/Railway Zone for this entire CEN — within it, you list every post you're eligible for and interested in. Applying to more than one RRB gets all your applications rejected outright.

Overall CEN Total (All RRBs, per official CEN)21,997

Note: The 15 zones listed above are the ones with detailed post-wise tables covered in this article. A few additional RRB zones (e.g., Ajmer, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Ranchi, Secunderabad) also carry vacancies under this CEN, contributing to the official overall total of 21,997 — candidates from those zones should check Annexure-B of the full CEN on their respective RRB website.

Physically demanding roles need physical preparation too. With PET being qualifying (not just a formality) for most of these posts, candidates should start training for the weight-carry-and-run standard well before the CBT itself — clearing the written exam only to fail PET means starting the whole cycle over next time.

With vacancies this widely spread — Northern Railway and Western Railway alone account for nearly a third of the total — the smartest first step is picking a zone based on where you're willing to relocate and train, not just where the numbers look biggest. Once that RRB is chosen at "Create an Account," there's no going back, so it's worth weighing Trackmaintainer-IV and Pointsman B's sheer volume against the more specialised Assistant roles before finalising preferences.

Disclaimer: Based on RRB CEN No. 09/2025. Vacancy figures are provisional and subject to revision by Railway Administration. Candidates should verify final figures, exact syllabus, and post-specific PwBD suitability on the official RRB/RRC website of their chosen zone before applying.
