More information

What is actually confirmed

The Railway Recruitment Boards issued a short / indicative notice on 21 July 2026 for CEN 04/2026, covering Junior Engineer (JE), Depot Material Superintendent (DMS) and Chemical & Metallurgical Assistant (CMA).
Total advertised: 4,098 posts.
Pay Level 6 of the 7th Central Pay Commission, initial basic pay ₹35,400.
Selection is the standard RRB ladder: CBT-1 → CBT-2 → Document Verification → Medical Examination. There is no interview.
Applications will be online only, at rrbapply.gov.in.
The purpose of an indicative notice is to let candidates get documents ready before the detailed CEN. That is exactly what the next four weeks are for.

Reported vacancy split — treat as indicative

Engineering (Civil) 1,654 · Mechanical 1,213 · Electrical 614 · Stores / DMS 314 · Signal & Telecommunication 303.
Those five figures add to 4,098, which is at least internally consistent with the announced total.
The binding department-wise, RRB-wise and community-wise table only exists in the detailed CEN. Until then this is a guide to which stream to prepare for, not a vacancy table to plan a claim around.

Reported eligibility — verify against the detailed CEN

A three-year diploma, or a BE/B.Tech, in a relevant engineering discipline — commonly Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Electronics and IT for these posts.
Age around 18 to 33 years, with the usual category relaxations.
RRB has historically accepted a long list of named equivalent qualifications per post, and that list is where most candidates find out whether their branch counts. It is published only in the detailed CEN.
Do not pay for coaching or a form-filling service on the strength of these numbers. Wait for the CEN.

The dates being circulated, and what they are worth

Detailed notification: expected 13 August 2026.
Application window: reported as 14 August to 13 September 2026.
Both are described as tentative by the boards themselves. We have therefore left this row without application dates, so no reminder fires on a date nobody has confirmed.
The only place these become real is rrbapply.gov.in and the regional RRB websites. As of 30 July 2026 no RRB site we checked — including the new unified rrb.indianrailways.gov.in — carries a CEN 04/2026 document.

Worth doing before the notification lands

Have your diploma or degree certificate and every semester marksheet scanned and legible. RRB rejects on document mismatch more often than on eligibility.
Check that the engineering stream printed on your certificate matches the stream you will select. A mismatch between the two is a standard cancellation reason in railway recruitment.
Get caste, EWS and PwBD certificates in the prescribed central format and current — these take weeks, and that is what actually costs people the deadline.
Create or recover your rrbapply.gov.in account now. One candidate, one registration, and account recovery during a live window is slow.
Keep a recent photograph and signature scanned to the sizes RRB usually asks for.
