RRB Ministerial Selection Process
Last verified 01 Aug 2026
RRB Ministerial and Isolated Categories selection runs through the following stages, each of which must be cleared in sequence.
- Single-stage Computer Based Test (CBT)
- Skill test or professional test, where prescribed for the post
- Document Verification (DV)
- Medical Examination (ME)
These are small-intake, high-specialisation recruitments — 312 posts across eight very different categories. The CBT is single-stage and half the paper is Professional Ability in your own subject, which is what makes this exam quite different from the general railway papers.
Junior Translator (Hindi) follows a different question structure from the other posts, reflecting the translation skills being tested.
Document Verification
Original certificates are checked against the details declared in the application — qualification, category, age and any fee concession claimed. Certificates must be in the prescribed Annexure formats, and a certificate issued after the application closing date is not accepted.
Medical Examination
Standards range from B1 to C2 by post, as shown in the post table.
Empanelment
Candidates who clear every stage are placed on a panel published by their RRB, from which appointments are made against the notified vacancies.
