    • Signature (10โ€“40 KB, JPG)

Application Fee

Category Fee
General / EWS / OBC-NCL โ‚น500 (โ‚น400 refunded if you appear for CBT)
SC / ST / PwBD / Female / Ex-SM / Transgender / Minorities / EBC โ‚น250 (fully refunded if you appear for CBT)

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Fee payment deadline is March 4, 2026 โ€” you have 2 extra days for payment. But the application form MUST be submitted by tonight.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

๐Ÿšซ Wrong photo size โ€” The portal rejects photos outside 20โ€“50 KB. Resize before uploading.

๐Ÿšซ Mismatched name โ€” Your name must match your 10th certificate EXACTLY. No nicknames.

๐Ÿšซ Wrong category โ€” Selecting General instead of OBC/SC/ST means you lose age relaxation and fee refund. Double-check.

๐Ÿšซ Incomplete preferences โ€” Select multiple Railway Zones to increase your chances. Don't leave it at just one.

๐Ÿšซ Not saving Registration ID โ€” Write down your Registration ID and password immediately after registration. You'll need it for admit card download later.

๐Ÿšซ Waiting until the last minute โ€” Server traffic is highest in the final hours. If the site is slow, keep trying. Don't give up.

If the Website Is Not Loading

  • Use a laptop/desktop instead of mobile โ€” the form works better on larger screens
  • Try a different browser โ€” Chrome or Firefox recommended
  • Clear your browser cache before starting
  • Avoid peak hours โ€” try early morning or late night (before 11:59 PM cutoff)
  • Keep refreshing โ€” the server may be intermittently slow but usually works
