RRB Paramedical Selection Process
Last verified 01 Aug 2026
RRB Paramedical selection runs through the following stages, each of which must be cleared in sequence.
- Single-stage Computer Based Test (CBT)
- Document Verification (DV)
- Medical Examination (ME)
Paramedical categories use a single-stage CBT of 100 questions with 1/3 negative marking. Unlike Group D or ALP there is no physical test and no second CBT — the professional-ability section carries the weight, so subject knowledge in your own discipline matters far more than general studies here.
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 depending on the post, as listed in the post table above.
Empanelment
Candidates who clear every stage are placed on a panel published by their RRB, from which appointments are made against the notified vacancies.
