Application Fee

💡 Tip: Fee payment deadline is March 4, 2026 — you have 2 extra days for payment. But the application form MUST be submitted by tonight.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

🚫 Wrong photo size — The portal rejects photos outside 20–50 KB. Resize before uploading.

🚫 Mismatched name — Your name must match your 10th certificate EXACTLY. No nicknames.

🚫 Wrong category — Selecting General instead of OBC/SC/ST means you lose age relaxation and fee refund. Double-check.

🚫 Incomplete preferences — Select multiple Railway Zones to increase your chances. Don't leave it at just one.

🚫 Not saving Registration ID — Write down your Registration ID and password immediately after registration. You'll need it for admit card download later.

🚫 Waiting until the last minute — Server traffic is highest in the final hours. If the site is slow, keep trying. Don't give up.

Key Dates After Application

If the Website Is Not Loading

The RRB portal experiences heavy traffic on the last date. Try these:

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