RRB Station Master Recruitment 2026-27: Notification Updates, Vacancy, Eligibility, Salary

RRB Station Master Recruitment 2026-27 notification will be released soon by the Railway Recruitment Board. The expected vacancies are more than 500. Through its notice dated 7 October 2026, RRB has decided that recruitment to the post of Station Master will be notified separately from 2026 onwards through a dedicated Centralised Employment Notification (CEN).

This is an important change for Railway aspirants because Station Master recruitment was earlier conducted along with RRB NTPC. Under the new arrangement, candidates will be selected through a Single Stage Computer Based Test (CBT), followed by Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT), Document Verification (DV) and Medical Examination.
