The original ApnaGyan article reported a Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) paramedical recruitment cycle under CEN 05/2026 for 590 posts across multiple clinical and technical categories. The details below translate the earlier article into English and clearly distinguish the reported dates from a currently verified opening.
The original article lists an application deadline of October 14 and a fee-payment deadline of October 16, 2026. Those dates have passed. It also mentions a correction window from October 17 to October 26, but we have not independently confirmed that schedule from a current official CEN 05/2026 notice. Do not assume applications or corrections are open unless the official notice and candidate login confirm it.

Categories described in the article
The earlier summary lists Nursing Superintendent, Pharmacist (Entry Grade), Health and Malaria Inspector Grade-II, Radiographer/X-Ray Technician, ECG Technician, Optometrist, Laboratory Assistant Grade-II, Audiologist and Speech Therapist, and Dialysis Technician. Vacancy counts and required qualifications are post-specific; use the relevant annexure of the official CEN notice for exact RRB-wise and category-wise figures.
Pay levels and qualification
The stored summary referred to pay levels ranging from Level 3 to Level 7, depending on the post. It mentioned a basic pay of ₹44,900 for Nursing Superintendent and figures such as ₹29,200, ₹35,400 and ₹21,700 for certain other levels. These figures are a secondary summary, not a substitute for the notification. Each category can require a particular diploma, degree, registration or experience; a general paramedical qualification does not make a candidate eligible for every post.
Selection process
The earlier article describes Computer-Based Test (CBT), document verification and medical fitness stages. It also mentions 100 questions, 90 minutes and one-third negative marking. Confirm the current official exam pattern, syllabus, qualifying rules, exam duration and negative marking for your specific post before starting exam preparation.
How to verify the notice
- Open the official RRB Chandigarh website or the RRB website selected for the recruitment.
- Find the official CEN 05/2026 notice and check its advertisement date and application schedule.
- Use the recruitment portal linked from the official notice, not a link from an unsolicited message.
- Download the notice and its annexures, then verify post-wise qualifications, fees and vacancy counts.
- If your candidate login provides a correction facility, follow its instructions and retain the confirmation receipt.
Application safety
Do not pay an agent to secure a railway job or share your login password or one-time passcode. Preserve the application receipt and payment reference if you applied during the original window. Because the key dates above have not been independently confirmed in this revision, use the official CEN notice as the source of truth.
