The Railway Recruitment Board conducted the CBT-1 examination for the recruitment of different positions under the non-technical popular category (graduate) from 16 to 27 March 2026, in which a huge number of candidates participated against a total number of 5,810 vacancies. The result for the same will be announced very soon.
