By AiCoN | Published 4 November 2026 | Sources checked 4 November 2026

Indian Railways has opened Station Master recruitment under CEN No. 08/2026, with 1,265 vacancies across the Railway Recruitment Boards. Any graduate can apply. The Press Information Bureau says online applications close on 25 November 2026.

What we could and could not checkThe facts below come from the PIB release of 27 October 2026. The RRB application portal (rrbapply.gov.in) showed "Server Under Maintenance" when we opened it on 4 November, and the notice PDF on rrb.indianrailways.gov.in did not load for us. So we have not read the notice itself. Age limit, fee, exam pattern and the post count for each RRB (including any Kerala board) are not confirmed here. Read them in the official notice before you apply. Nothing was submitted or paid.
