Frequently asked questions
Can final year engineering students apply for RRB JE 2026?
No, applicants must possess their final diploma certificate or provisional degree on or before the closing date of application. Candidates waiting for final semester results are not eligible to apply.
What is the negative marking scheme in RRB JE CBT?
One-third mark is deducted for every incorrect response in both CBT-1 and CBT-2. Questions left unanswered attract no negative marks, so candidates should avoid random guessing during both stages.
Can B.Tech degree holders apply alongside diploma holders?
Yes, candidates with a recognized B.E. or B.Tech degree in relevant engineering disciplines can apply for Junior Engineer positions. The basic minimum technical qualification for most tracks is a 3-year engineering diploma.
How does the RRB JE fee refund policy work?
Candidates who appear for the first-stage computer test receive a partial refund. General, EWS and OBC candidates get ₹400 refunded, while SC, ST, female, PwBD and EBC candidates receive ₹250 back after minor bank charges.
Can an applicant apply through more than one regional RRB?
No, candidates can apply through only one regional RRB website. Submitting multiple applications across different boards leads to outright rejection of all submitted forms and debarment from railway exams.
