In a significant recruitment initiative, Indian Railways issued over 9,000 appointments in the first quarter of FY 2025–26, with plans to fill more than 50,000 positions by the end of the financial year.

Since November 2024, the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have conducted computer-based tests (CBTs) for over 186 million candidates across seven notifications, covering 55,197 vacancies. This is part of a broader recruitment calendar that has announced 108,000 vacancies since 2024. A further 50,000 appointments are projected for FY 2026–27.

To streamline logistics, exam centres are now assigned closer to candidates' residences, with special priority given to women and persons with benchmark disabilities (PwBDs).

In a major step toward transparency and security, the Railways has implemented Aadhaar-based e-KYC authentication, achieving a 95 per cent success rate in digital candidate verification.

Additionally, electronic jammers have been deployed at all exam centres to prevent electronic cheating, marking a milestone in secure and fair recruitment practices.
