Who Should Apply for RRB Isolated Categories 2026
Law graduates with the required practice or standing suit the legal posts, Master's holders in Hindi or English with translation training suit Junior Translator, and Psychology Master's holders suit Scientific Assistant. Do not apply for Lab Assistant unless you have 12th with Physics and Chemistry, and do not assume that a final-year result makes you eligible.
The exact qualification, age and other conditions are under Eligibility Criteria.
Watch Out Before You Apply
- Choose only one RRB; applying to two or more RRBs gets all your applications rejected and can debar you from future RRB and RRC exams.
- Upload your signature as a JPG or JPEG file of 30 to 49 KB, written in running handwriting with black ink, or the application may be rejected.
- Bring original certificates and two sets of self-attested photocopies to Document Verification; missing originals means your candidature is forfeited.
- If you claim EBC fee concession, you need a valid EBC certificate, BPL card, Izzat MST or central poverty-programme certificate issued on or before the closing date and must produce it in original.
- Reservation claims for OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) need a certificate issued on or after 1 April 2026, plus a self-declaration at Document Verification; without it you may be treated as unreserved.
