Railway Station Master Application Form 2026
All RRBs use one common online form. You choose one RRB in it, and that choice cannot be changed later, so pick the board based on where you want to work and how many vacancies it has. In the last cycle, Station Master had 615 posts across all RRBs; see the RRB-wise split in the RRB NTPC vacancy details. Submit only one form, because RRBs reject all applications from a candidate who applies more than once.
