Educational Qualification
For Technician Grade-I Signal, candidates need a Bachelor of Science in Physics/Electronics/Computer Science/Information Technology/Instrumentation, a three-year diploma in Engineering, or a Degree in Engineering in these streams.

RRB Technician Selection Process 2026
Candidates often ask how RRB selects Technicians, and the answer is a three-stage process based purely on merit. The recruitment involves a Computer Based Test (CBT), Document Verification (DV), and a Medical Examination, with shortlisting at each stage determined by performance in the previous one.

Computer Based Test (CBT): A single CBT of 90 minutes with 100 questions and negative marking of 1/3rd mark per wrong answer. Minimum qualifying marks are 40% (UR/EWS), 30% (OBC-NCL/SC), and 25% (ST).
Document Verification (DV): Candidates are shortlisted at a 1:1 ratio against vacancies based on CBT merit, RRB-wise. Original documents must be produced; no extra time is given for missing certificates.
Medical Examination (ME): Conducted by Railway Medical Authorities as per the medical standard (A3, B1, B2, or C1) prescribed for the specific post.
Based on typical RRB recruitment cycles, CBT is expected a few months after the application closes, followed by DV and medical examination in subsequent phases - though exact dates will be announced on official RRB websites.Jobs

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Applying for RRB Technician 2026
Many candidates lose their candidature due to avoidable errors rather than ineligibility. Being aware of these common pitfalls can help applicants submit a clean, error-free application the first time.

Entering wrong name/DOB: Details in "Create an Account" cannot be changed later - always match them exactly with your Matriculation certificate.
Applying to multiple RRBs for the same Pay Level: This leads to rejection of all applications and debarment from future RRB/RRC exams.
Uploading a pre-existing or printed photo: Only live-captured photographs are accepted; printed photo uploads cause summary rejection.
Signature in capital/block letters: Signatures must be in cursive running handwriting with black ink - block letters are grounds for rejection.
Missing the fee payment deadline: Fee must be paid by 31 July 2026, two days after the application deadline - don't assume submission alone is enough.
Ignoring the modification window: Errors (other than account details and chosen RRB) can be corrected only between 1–10 August 2026 by paying ₹250 per modification.
