The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has officially announced the notification for RRB Junior Engineer (JE) Recruitment 2025. Aspiring candidates who meet the eligibility criteria can begin submitting their applications starting from October 31, 2025. The last date to apply is November 30, 2025. However, this year, there is a significant decrease in the number of vacancies compared to the previous year. A total of 2,570 vacancies have been announced, which is considerably fewer than the 7,951 vacancies available last year. This indicates a reduction of nearly one-third of the vacancies. Furthermore, this year, there is no relaxation in the upper age limit, unlike last year when candidates were given a three-year age limit concession due to the pandemic. In 2019, the recruitment drive for Junior Engineers offered over 14,000 vacancies. Vacancy and Eligibility Details The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has set clear eligibility criteria for candidates applying for the Junior Engineer posts. Candidates must have a degree or diploma in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, or Telecommunications engineering from a recognized university or institute. For positions like JE (IT), Chemical, and Metallurgical Assistants, specific educational qualifications are required. For the Junior Engineer IT position, candidates with a BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) or PGDCA (Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications), along with a 3-year DoEACC B-Level course, will also be eligible to apply. This offers a broader opportunity for candidates with IT-related qualifications to apply for the Junior Engineer (IT) posts. Age Limit The minimum age for candidates applying for the Junior Engineer recruitment is 18 years, and the maximum age is set at 33 years. However, there is relaxation in the upper age limit for certain categories. Candidates from the SC/ST category will be granted a five-year age relaxation, while candidates from the OBC category will receive a three-year age relaxation. Selection Process The selection process for RRB Junior Engineer Recruitment 2025 consists of several stages. The first stage is the Computer-Based Test (CBT 1), followed by the second stage of the Computer-Based Test (CBT 2). After the exams, there will be document verification and a medical examination. The CBT 1 will consist of 100 questions, and the duration of the exam will be 90 minutes. The CBT 2 will consist of 150 questions, with an exam duration of 120 minutes. One important aspect of the CBT exams is the negative marking system. For each incorrect answer, one-third of the marks assigned to the question will be deducted. Candidates will need to be careful while attempting the questions to avoid unnecessary deductions from their scores. Application Fee The application fee for candidates in the General category has been set at 500 INR. However, candidates who appear for the exam will be refunded 400 INR. For candidates belonging to the SC/ST, women, physically handicapped categories, and economically weaker sections (EWS) as well as ex-servicemen, the application fee is 250 INR. In these cases, the full application fee will be refunded to the candidates once they appear for the exam.
