Important Notes
- Candidates can apply to only one RRB per CEN. Applying to multiple RRBs for the same notification leads to rejection.
- Ensure all educational certificates and professional registrations (CTET, Nursing Council, Physiotherapy Council) are valid before applying.
- Double-check post-specific eligibility before applying – disqualification at Document Verification stage due to ineligibility is the most common issue.
